Wow it’s been a loooong few days. Lots and lots and (did I say lots?) of company. Visitors twice a day and thrice on Sunday. Thrice? Is that a word? Clearly I belong in the Middle Ages. Hold on. Did they have company on Sunday in the Middle Ages? I’m confusing myself now. Dost thou…
I love a full weekend. It’s especially great when it’s filled with friends and family. And don’t get me started on how great it is when there is something like this around…. I can’t be left alone with her. I keep wanting to take a nibble. She’s too delicious. She loves being lifted high….a challenge…
Remember the olden days when the TV set had a speaker built right in and an antenna sitting on the top? I miss those days. When someone would have to go stand by the set (which was sitting on a cabinet in the corner, no entertainment centers) stand next to it and hold one of…
I like to drive. I really do. But yesterday I drove for 6 hours and today another 6. The last few hours today were rough. I was having trouble staying awake…..like when I watch sci-fi with DUH. BO-RING! My 13 year old ran out of things to talk about. That’s how bad it was….we were…

It has happened! My worst fear! As I have always known would happen….we have come under attack! Yes, that’s right….PIRATES! But we will survive. How do I know? Because we have a secret weapon. Our very own pirates! Our pirates tried to dig for treasure. But they couldn’t find any. (What do you mean “Why…
Last night as the weekend started in full swing….I had a small, sweet moment with my 13 year old daughter. She decided to come with me to the far away wedding. I was grateful for the company and even more excited to have some alone time with her in the car. She’s a quiet girl….
Have I told you how great my girls are? I mean, I know that people say their kids are great and everyone’s kids are special. So I tend to keep quiet about how wonderful I think mine are. But sometimes I just want to shout, “These people are amazing!” Yesterday I took my 13 and…
