Back Breaking Catch Up

 Yeah yeah I know.  everyone and their dog has posted a pic of the Northern lights from last night! 
Here's mine.  But how many included their thumbs? huh?!


Or the same sky the next morning at 5:30am!?
Is the phrase, "Red sky at night, Sailor's delight" or some such thing?
The sailors in land locked Iowa are thrilled, I'm sure!


I dog sat for Maddy and Matthew almost two weeks ago now overnight.  My grandpups are so cute.  I failed to get a pic of them tho. shoot.

Leon's school concert was this Monday and about half of our little family came to see him eak out the tunes with the rest of the band.  I'm looking forward to the Christmas concert, but I'm suddenly thinking that this might be the only one this fall.  hmm  I'll have to check the calendar.


Leon is doing Mock Trial and is a witness for his team.  Three days a week, he goes to school an hour earlier than usual and it takes our whole family to get him out the door and arrive to school on time.  But it's a process and he just announced yesterday that he wants to try out for the school musical! COOL!  I don't know when they practice but I hope it's after school because this morning thing bites.
He wants to be an Oompa Loompa. And no, it's not Willy Wonka for the production.


Ryan and Jen attended a wedding this past weekend, so it was just the littles and me for Friday night and Saturday, with Meri and Josh coming over to be the voices of reason while I headed off to enjoy an ABBA tribute band with Maddy and Matthew.  I came back the next morning just in time for Sunday school at church.


What a FUN concert!  I stuck ABBA on my spotify and sang along on the whole drive home.
     Maddy used to listen to my CD of ABBA's greatest hits and sang Man After Midnight around the house until Robb told her to hold off on singing that as it wasn't appropriate for a 7 year old.

To complete our familial love for ABBA, when Meri took voice lessons when she was 7 or 8, she selected Money Money Money for her voice recital. LOL!  At least she just looking for a rich husband and not a booty call.

I was watching Dead Like Me the other day, as my latest re-binge watch and this popped up on the screen!  I do so love me some closed captions!  If it's not there, I just can't hear them.
Anyway, that's my BIL's name, so I sent it to my sister. LOL!


And I had to snap a pic of this to share with my bestie, Ada.  She owns the entire collection of North and South on DVD and we watch it together every couple years.  40 years tho!  Wow.
Yep - I'm old.  And that's ok!  I also loved me some young Patrick Swayze! Orry!


Oh, if you say Agg instead of Aggs or Aggie or Agnes, she'll correct you.
I said, Come on, Agg and she calls out, Aggs!!
Or if I say Aggie and she's being contrary, then she'll call/yell out No, Agnes! or vice versa.


A while back, I shared a pic of myself from high school  Well, here is Leon from a couple years ago and myself. Yep, we're twins.  A friend put this together for me.  His hair length is more my length plus these days.  Not sure if he's doing it for Lock of Love or just afraid of scissors.


I'm still working on Italian in the wee hours of the mornings and within 5 units of reaching Section 3. Whew!  It is funny how it's getting somewhat easier as time goes by.  However I haven't watched any Italian shows recently.  I need to do that.  It'll give me a sense of "I don't know what I'm doing" again.  Life's been a total rush lately.

For example, Leon and I are going with his Scout troupe this weekend to camp in a cave!  And then I'm attending a painting class with Maddy and Matthew.  I should have some doozy pics for you by next week!

Whew again.  I hope my back can take it all.
