The road we are traveling always seems so crazy but somehow I seem to love every minute of it. The blessings far

outweigh the chaos. Come ride along and enjoy a few of our bumps, u-turns, rest areas, work zones, steep grades,

speed traps, and scenic views.

Random Thoughts

  • How is it that I "BRIEFLY" chose to ignore laundry and now I have 14 loads.

  • It is crazy to ride in the car and listen to my son talk about High School football. How did I get so old?

  • Even though it has been several weeks it still seems odd to me to see Megan in the drivers seat.

  • I'm looking forward to seeing Mollie wakeboard again. It is truly one of her current passions and fun to watch.

  • Why on earth would I mention to my husband that it would be better to spend the money on a new vacuum. Sometime practicality stinks.

  • It will be sad when the carrotts from the garden are gone. Straight from the garden, steamed carrotts is one of my favorites.

  • Why has the same church song been stuck in my head all day?

  • It is amazing to me that I can receive so much joy from my children every day even though they drive me crazy most days.

  • I am so grateful for good friends who will call and take me to lunch.

  • I am not looking forward to returning to work.

  • And my final thought for today: in trying to save money we opted not to buy bedding plants for the yard. Instead Mike bought two envelopes of flower seeds for less then $3. I am enjoying them very much, it is an 8 foot stretch of color and beauty.

A few random answers...

-Laundry grows when you aren't looking but take comfort in the fact that I am doing about the same amount.

-As for getting old, it sneaks up on you! I just tell myself that no matter how old I am...my sister is six years older! :-) You can try that with Jeff!

-I can relate, I asked Joe for a new Crockpot! Not quite a spa weekend is it!

-The flowers are beautiful!

-I wish you didn't have to go back to work but I know how you have missed your aquatic friends...the glass is always half full!

Love ya tons!

Why can't doing laundry be as easy as planting flowers, just let the clothes lay where your kids drop them and watch them turn into something beautiful. Your kids are awesome, a testament to the great parenting they are receiving. We so wish we could see you more often. Maybe your kids will attend the Y and come for Superbowl Sunday. Now that's a happy thought!
