Beaches

Ok, Ok!  I take a LOT of pics of Aggie!  She's cute!  Why not?!

Today is her 6th month birthday and look!  She's got a solid butt!

It might be the cloth diapers.

And it's not ALWAYS stable...

 

But she's growing up!  

And look what I found this weekend at a thrift store!  Identical plates to the ones I remember from my youth!  My Violet Iris corelleware from our wedding is getting worn out and mostly chipped or broken up.  But I keep my eyes open for more and while looking for some linoleum to fix a bathroom, I found this!

SCORE!

It was a great weekend.  I got a lot done on my to do list on Saturday, which included watching Dirty Dancing with my bestie as well as another movie last night virtually with my other bestie!  And for THAT bestie, I wore our matching socks.

Shocked? Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything less.

Leon was too!  I was driving and my phone beeped with a message so he checked it out for me.

"GRANDMA!  I didn't think you EVER said that word!"

Let me tell you kid...  I have 6 sisters.  It's been said.

And if any of my sisters are reading this, It's always been in a loving manner and to your face.

School, Babies and more

 Leon is loving school so far!  The first day, he made 5 new friends, only remembering the names of two of them.  He called me after school and gave me the low down.

and get this...

There is NO homework in Middle School!!!  *really?* I gasp.  Nope, they give you enough time to get your work done in school.  *no study halls?* Nope - just home room.  And if you don't get enough time to finish it at school, you take it home to complete it. *um, that's homework.*

and yeah... you're going to have some...

Anyway, there was a heatwave in Iowa the 2nd day of school and they got out early. So, so far, he's having a wonderful time!

And yes Kathy, he has a cheeseburger backpack.  Seems like a lot of pockets to lose things in, but he'd picked it out and his mom obliged.

Wouldn't you just know it?  His first open house and it's the same night that I'll be at a Rick Springfield concert with my sisters!!  Oh well.  Ryan is going and will let me know all about it.

Practical Parsimony - Your suggestion on the porch goose costume is duly noted!  I'm in the middle of watching North and South and that idea would be perfect!!!  Will keep my eyes open for something Madelyn or Brett would wear and go with it.  Ashton's Southern Belle outfits are JUST too sleazy.

My baby photo dump for the last couple days.  I didn't realize how much cat hair and general lint is on my shirt! sigh.  But her hand is exquisite!  Piano playing hands...

She got to sleep on me yesterday and I loved every second of it.  I watched a virtual movie with my bestie who moved to the east coast and Aggie got to be with me for most of it. 

If I didn't explain a virtual movie, it's when Julie and I are both on our phones, streaming a movie at the same time.  It's difficult to line them up right so sometimes you get an echo, but it's a good second to watching them together in person.  And we talk a lot, for example, last night we watched Vertical Limit and most of it, we're gasping a lot and saying "NOPE! I will NEVER mountain climb!" 

If you want a cling to the edge of your seat movie, that is the one. *burrrrr*

Meri is still on vacation and sending wonderful pictures of their time away.  The three of us had a video chat on Wednesday and she showed me the property around the yurt that they're renting.  I think they're hitting the Grand Canyon today.

And Reedus and I are becoming buds.  He wears a cone when we're not going to be with him for a period of time, but even a trip to the bathroom can give him enough time to do damage.  I don't have the time to put the cone on him for that! yikes!  Come on in the bathroom with me so I can keep an eye on you Reedus!!

Have a wonderful weekend!  There are a couple garage sales that I feel like I need to hit tomorrow.  Crossing my fingers for a dehydrator!!!

Porch Goose - Baby Aggie

So the Porch Goose Corn Tuxedo is at the fair now, being judged.  I'm confident it will come home with no ribbons, but that's ok!  It was fun sewing it!  The same with the little girl dress I made for a potential little girl.

I'm just getting my feet wet in my sewing again.  My sewing mojo is finally coming back a little!

I hope it comes back a lot more soon.

But I don't have a picture of the little girl dress yet.  I just figured that if Ryan and Jen's baby wasn't a girl, I'll hang onto the dress until there is a girl somewhere that will fit it.

Well guess what?!

While Maddy, Matthew, Meri, Ryan (bf) and I were in the Barbie movie, Ryan and Jen had the baby!! 

 She'd been in labor the whole day, but the actual event didn't happen until roughly half way through the movie!  They had a girl!!

Ryan invited us to the hospital after the movie, so I'm still in my Barbie pants.

Robb would have loved her!  I wondered how I would feel holding our first granddaughter without him and actually I felt good and was in awe of this little miracle.  It hadn't sunk in yet.  But we'll keep his memory alive for her too.

Maddy and Matthew trying out the niece! She's a keeper!

Leon couldn't see her until a couple days later, but he did get to see her at the hospital before they came home.  He's in love too.

Her name is Agnes!  And she could NOT have been any prettier!

Guess who's wearing the dress next summer!!

Spring Cleaning Part 652

 Whew!  The week of St. Patrick's Day!  

Got lots going on and did lots.  What's new?!

Meri and I made mints for the upcoming shower instead of working out on Thursday morning.  Then Maddy and I finished up with the molds on Friday night at her house and then played with the dogs.  We've got another batch or two of mints to go and that might be our workouts this week.  The shower is next weekend.  OH and there is so much dye in the mints that I had to brush my teeth 2-3 times before I stopped spitting blue.

I spent several hours on Saturday sewing and got two of the sample bridesmaid dresses ready for sizing. They needed to be done by next weekend because the girls will be in town for the shower.  We also got the fabric sample mailed to us but I haven't heard from Meri yet on what was selected.  And that's ok.  We just need to get the fabric for the bride's dress ordered soon so I can get going on that.  I'll do one more sample dress for another girl before Saturday probably.  

On Sunday, after church, the kids and I went to the theater and saw The Quiet Man.  Wow I love that movie.  I'm so glad the kids came with me!  AND we got some good popcorn and candy!  I look door-knobby in this photo but oh well.

I also shopped a little off of the list for our St. Patrick's Day meal Thursday night.

And just for clarification, the bagels are NOT an integral part of that meal.

After a visit with Ada, I started cleaning above my cabinets in the kitchen.  A little spring cleaning is in order, I think!  So much greasy dust up there!  But it's looking so much better!  

Yes I cropped out my counter space and yeah I still have a lot of stuff up there but it's all sparkly clean now!

In the midst of my deep cleaning and roughed up kitchen, the kids all came over last night for an impromptu visit and dinner.  

I was making leftovers but that's ok!  Maddy and Matthew brought some veggies and garlic bread to round it all out.  

Then we printed out some NCAA bracket sheets and everyone filled in their guesses.  I'm pretty sure mine is right because if I fill out these brackets like Maddy played Sequence as a 2 year old, I should win the pot.

I have lunch with Ada today!  Have a wonderful week!

Weekend Thoughts

Just something I was amused by over the weekend.

ALSO... In How the Grinch Stole Christmas, he just cut out the coat from a curtain and didn't put any seam allowance or ANYTHING!!!

On Saturday morning, Maddy, Matthew and myself went out to visit my bestie's husband.  We had a fun time! and I ate too many donuts and leftover birthday cupcakes. 

That afternoon, I watched Better Off Dead while I worked on the wedding dress. We are at a point where I need the actual fabric and get going on it.  I think the bride is getting a little anxious.

But in Better Off Dead, I had to take a pic of this scene in the movie. Robb and I LOVED this movie and can quote any line from it at any given point.

 

So in the movie, a foreign exchange girl student is living with a mother and son in L.A..  The mother is convinced that her son and the girl are made for each other and encourages them to speak the international language of love since the girl refuses to let on that she understands English.  The son gives a framed photo of himself to her for a Christmas present. lol!

So Robb had me do a photo shoot of him many years ago.  He picked the best one, framed it and sent it to his sister as a gift.  And THAT'S why there are a couple corny pics of him in that memorial video I posted last week.

:) I might frame the whole series of them for myself.

On Saturday night, I had made a crock pot full of chili and enough bread bowls for the gang.  They all came over for dinner and a D&D game night with Ryan.

Since I've been getting up around 4:30 every morning, I'm usually drained by 8pm.  So I headed upstairs instead and relaxed before getting to sleep.

On Sunday after church, I dropped Leon off at home and headed to see my bestie for a bit, then got home JUST when Maddy and Matthew pulled up to do their laundry.  They got their laundry batch in and we went for a "W" as Matthew calls them.  He doesn't dare say "walk" around his dogs and he's just in the habit.

We walked over to Meri's house and then further where he could peek into the windows of the local library.  I'm not sure if they're "rival" libraries but he should really come in some time when they're open.

We played a couple games that they brought and watched a bit of Vicar of Dibley until it was time for me to take Leon to his mom's.  

I dropped him off and then got lost in Des Moines until I FINALLY found the right road to get to the Iowa Home and Garden show.  I always begged Robb to go with me and sometimes he did.  But now I understand why he was hesitant.  It's a lot of walking and nothing to do but spend money.  When I was a kid, this was the place to collect fly swatters, match books and yard sticks...

For me with Robb, it was getting my mind all psyched up for Spring.  But yesterday it was for therapy.  I power walked the entire home show in 30 minutes.  

When I had Robb with me, we'd mosey around and dream about "what if" we had a jacuzzi or a flower bed like this?  Or if we had the space on the patio, wouldn't this be cool there?!  

But they were closing in 1.5 hours and I felt like I had no time to waste. Plus a lot of the booths were packing up their stuff.  I'll bet the fly swatters had already been packed.  

The most swag I found was a pen from a sewer sucking service. 

I stopped at a couple booths to get info on concrete repair and then stopped for a guy to squirt aloe lotion on my hand.  As he proceeded to rub it into my hand, I stepped back.  Um I can do that thanks... 

*do you also have hand sanitizer??!*

Then at another booth, a guy asked to clean my glasses for me.  Yeoookay...  As he cleaned them, he asked if I had precious gem stones or guns in my home.

Yikes!  There is NO need for you to know that!  I replied with "I don't feel comfortable telling you that information!"

Suddenly he handed my glasses to a co-worker and excused himself for a phone call. *which I didn't see him take... he just walked to another table...* :) I must have offended him or he didn't know how to take me.  But the co-worker was great so I'm glad he handed me off.  She finished my glasses and asked to polish up my wedding rings.  Sure... But I've eaten salt today and couldn't get them off.

No problem.  She smeared some cream on them and started polishing them right on my finger.  I couldn't believe the black tarnish that she pulled off of that!  My wedding rings looked so sparkling and new that tears started flowing.

I asked if she could do my husband's ring too and she said SURE!  So I took my necklace off and she polished it up too.  It looks so pretty and sparkly!

And I got sucked into spending $50...

Oh well, my rings look good!

I got home in time for Meri and Ryan (bf) to stop by for some more D&D time with Ryan.  Meri gave me the patterns for the bridesmaid dresses today and I'm looking forward to getting to work on the actual dresses for her friend's wedding!

Not that the wedding dress itself wasn't the actual dress...  But up to now it's been samples.  Let's get rolling!!!

And don't you just hate it when one of your favorite authors posts something like this on Instagram and you're suddenly excited that a new book is out finally?!!!

Turns out it's just one you've already read but in German or Portuguese or something...

uGG..  Oh well, I'll keep waiting....

And FYI: I've been praying a LOT for Ukraine this weekend.  

And a lot more prayers to come.

Eh Eh Eh

 AND once again, I'm waiting to use the restroom until I have my blog post done.  I was in earlier so it's not as long... :)

Work yesterday was crazy busy and started an hour earlier than I usually start.  Around 4:30, I said ENOUGH!!!  and went in the house, settling on the couch to watch another episode of Modern Family and relax a bit.

Ryan saw me and plugged in his new Dune movie, (with Jason Momoa) thinking that's why I was in there.  He REALLY wants to share it with me.  Nope.  I think I offended him but I really wasn't in the mood to watch a complete movie.  I can only handle bits of shows right now, unless it's a comedy and I have no other plans for the evening.

As it stands, I HAD no other plans for the evening and binge watched more of my show until almost 10.  sigh.  Oh well, I am in the 11th season of Modern Family and am starting to see why they decided to end it.  I'll stick it out and finish.

This part tho made me tear up a bit.

Robb always did voices when he read books to the kids, especially Amelia Bedelia.  Amelia's voice sounded quite a bit like Anne from Little Britain. 

   

 Eh Eh Eh

Toss Up Tuesday

On Friday, I was at Meri's house earlier in the day and as she walked across the room, I saw something akin to a bandage on her back. 

Um... Meri ???  Please tell me that that's not a bandage for a tattoo on your back!

Happened to be a bow for her shirt!  Whew!

But then she was concerned that with her hair down, no one would see her bow and think it was a bandage also, so she decided for an up-do for her Valentine's date that evening.

I came back after picking up the boy at the bus stop and did a quick french braid starting from the nape of her neck, up.  

She dolled up her do with makeup

and Shub completed the look with roses.

And who doesn't love a good martyr meme for a Facebook Valentine card!?!  Robb posted this and tagged me.

OOH Chocolates!

We also got each other new frying pans.  Aren't WE romantical?

That night, Robb and I used our Christmas present and went to a movie!  Of course, he had to tease his Facebook friends earlier with this.

"Suggested to Val that we see the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie for valentine's day. I guess the derisive snort means she is considering it."

(I was not considering it)

We got some supper quick at a local Subway before heading over to the movie.  The gal there gave us free cookies!  Woohoo!  SCORE!

So when we got to the theater, Robb made sure we took a selfie in front of the Sonic movie poster.  It will be a cold day in Hell before I see that movie.  Not that I hate Sonic...  I just don't want to see it.

We actually saw Knives Out!  It's been out since Thanksgiving and I'm glad we got to see it on the big screen.  Later Robb noticed that we could have rented it to stream at home, but why would I miss out on theater popcorn with extra butter?  Plus, it's been a LONG while since I'd been to the theater.

And actually, if we HAD to see Sonic, as long as I had plenty of popcorn, I might be down with it.

Fun movie!

On Saturday, I attended one of my ASG sewing meetings.  So refreshing and inspirational!  Besides learning new skills, I also brought home three bags of fabric...  I haven't cut into any of it yet, but the week is young...  There were over 50 women at the meeting!  Our little group is growing!

Later that afternoon, Leon went to a birthday party at a neighbor boy's house.  You can't celebrate your birthday until you break open a pinata with a stick!

Leon's birthday is this weekend.  I am thinking about what we'll give him.  It'll be a theme...

AND Jen is housesitting for her aunt so Frank is spending some time with just us.

I think he wants me to pet him...

nope.  

Well maybe later.

I have been sewing lately too.  Shub's birthday was yesterday so I made him a shirt, almost identical to the one that I made Matthew for Christmas.  AND I made Leon one for his birthday that is almost identical too!  

Meri said that it fits Shub great and he wore it last night.  I hope he liked it!

This one was Matthew's from Christmastime.

Anyway, gotta get some work done.  Have a great Tuesday!

Still Bill and Other Low Tech Wonders

Friday: pizza night.  I made a cauliflower pepperoni pizza for Leon and half pepperoni/half hamburger pizza for Robb and me.  It was a quiet night.  And in my closet sorting, I found a VCR/DVR machine!!  I'd been hunting for one on freecycle a few months ago, but never did find one.  

Who knew?!  It was in my closet the whole time?!  

Sluggy probably did...

So now I have one VCR that only rewinds or fast forwards and one that only plays but turns off when you try to rewind or fast forward.  The perfect partnership!  But like all old electronics they're big.  My sewing table that I have set up in front of the bedroom tv is cluttered now.  dang.

Since Leon had gotten 100% on the second spelling test of his young life, I decided we were going to celebrate with a movie.

I had been trying to get Leon interested in some old scary movies for kids.  Last week, we finally forced him to watch The Goonies, and the Monster Squad.  After ten minutes of each, he let up the resistance and admitted that he liked them.  Towards the end, he LOVED them both dearly and wanted to re-watch as often as possible. 

Nope!  We've got more...

For the past couple years, I've been trying to get him to watch the Little Vampire and now that we had a working VCR, I was going to MAKE him.  I popped popcorn and on Friday night he fell in love with that one!  You know...  after ten minutes of complaining...

Isn't it great when you can become enthralled in a movie that isn't animated??! :)

Then on Saturday night, I found my VHS tape of Willow and forced him to watch it.  He ended up loving that too.  We watched the rest of it on Sunday afternoon.  It's been a full weekend of movies!

So on Sunday, I remembered a box under my bed of a bunch of old movies, both VHS and DVD.  He enjoyed digging through them found an old cassette tape of a Harry Potter book.  

What's THIS?!  GASP!  The lightbulb went off and he said, "I think I have something this will work in!!"  and ran off to his room.  He brought back a kids tape player with microphone so you can sing along with the tapes.  He mostly uses it to sing the refrain of Sweet Caroline, but now he saw it had a new purpose!  

Leon tried as hard as he could but couldn't figure out how to put the tape in.  I showed him how and pressed play.  He carried it around the house with him as he played with little toys and listened intently to the story.  I think that cassette was the last of about 10 tapes for just that book.  It's the only one I know where it is...  Enjoy the story while you can!

I also have a Bunnicula Howliday Inn tape when he's ready for it.  PERFECT for Halloween!

In our old tech treasure trove, I found this.

Three of my most favorite movies!!!  I must have taped them off of cable back in the 80s.  Last night, while Leon was in the bath, I plugged it in.  I was excited to watch The Believers again!!!  What a creepy spooky horror flick that is awesome...  

Guess what it was?...

Someone... probably me...  taped over it with all of Bill Clinton's testimony in front of the grand jury...  SERIOUSLY!!!!????  I fast forwarded it on one VCR to about halfway, plugged it back into the other VCR and pressed play.  STILL BILL!  Put it back in the other fast forwarded it again, And then it was nothing...  sigh...  

If I REALLY get in the mood, I'll spring for the $4 it'll cost me to watch The Believers on Amazon Prime...  

So it's been a weekend of vintage tech.

And just like his daddy when he was three, Leon can now run program the VCR.  

Well, he knows how to switch input, stop, start and eject anyway...  

I just need to upgrade my old Pioneer stereo/turn table and we'll be ready to party!

Nobody's going to believe you

Oh my.. yesterday was a bear and a half!  As in I barely got time to grab any food for lunch and barely had any time to run to the restroom during the day...

I hope today is better.

Leon fell asleep on the couch by 5:30 and had a nap til 7 when we shook him awake for supper.  So I read 3 chapters of the Bobbsey Twins to no avail...  But by that time, his dad had gotten home from work so I suggested they have a sleepover.  THAT'LL keep him off my bedroom couch for the evening!

Not that I really have a problem with that...

Now that I'm done with Mrs. Maisel, I watched a movie that I'd recorded off tv.  Alfred Hitchcock's, The Man Who Knew Too Much.  wow...  That sucked me in and I almost cried during a part when the little boy was kidnapped.  I'm not giving anything away, it's in the description...  

Oh - and this is a part of the movie where they're in Morocco and the boy pointed out a whole row of women cranking away on their sewing machines.  COOL!

  

And let me tell you, it's NOTHING like The Man Who Knew Too Little, although that one is a hoot!  I cannot resist a movie with Bill Murray.  Unless of course, it's an attempt at a serious movie... or Garfield...

Not sure how today will be yet, but my bro comes here tonight!  Woohoo! 

Him with my dad.

It'll be a wild weekend!

Have a great one!

Eclipsed by a Tree

On the drive home from Wisconsin, Robb did all the driving and I just tried to stay awake.  When I was kid, I could fall asleep in the car at the drop of a hat and when we woke up, we were there.

Kind of like MAGIC!  

BUT I knew Robb hadn't had a lot of sleep over the weekend so I figured I better stay awake and keep him alert. 

I mostly ate.  Maddy and I had found some FRESH cheese curds and I thought Sluggy was lying when she said you can tell how fresh it is by the squeak.  What??!  But she's RIGHT!  This was the squeakiest cheese I'd ever eaten and wow was it good!  We split up the package and she kept some there.  I finished off my pack before the Iowa border.  Well, probably before Madison...  

We got to Iowa and still had three hours to go.  I had cracked open a sewing book and knew Robb would think I would just sink into it without talking to him for three hours, so I deliberately put it on the side burner and talked.  

What tv shows did you watch as a kid?  We shared our favorites that we could remember and he brought up one that I'd never heard of so he told me to look it up.  I did on IMDB and still didn't remember it.  That probably wasn't on the four channels that we got at my house.

In the IMDB search engine, I plugged in 1980 and it listed all the movies and tv shows that came out that year, so I quizzed him.  It brought up lots of fun memories about various shows we watched, who we watched the movie with and the genre of shows that shaped us.  

He saw a LOT of movies with an old girl friend...  :)  

But by the time we got to the late 80s, most off them were with me. or his sister or college friends.

I had my head buried in the computer for almost the entire 3 hours. Yay for internet devices!  I realized that we'd never even stopped for supper!  Not surprising though for all the snacking we'd done.  We got home around 9pm, exhausted.  

Meri had already picked up Leon and they were camping out in the front yard in her tent.  The firepit was lit and they'd littered partially cooked marshmallows all over the driveway.  The ants love us this week...

They gave up camping around 11pm when we heard them come in and she plopped him into his bed.  During the night, it rained like cats and dogs with lots of lightning and pouring rain.  I'm so glad they came in!

Monday was, of course, the eclipse day.  During the morning, it rained off an on and at around 10 or so, the wind SUDDENLY picked up and roared like a hurricane outside.  I heard a snap.  A little while later, we found out why.

Yeah, the dead tree in our front yard is no more...  Robb cut it all up and we pulled it back onto our yard until we can move it to the land fill.  

So.many.twigs...

It fell in exactly the same place as the tree earlier this spring!  What were the odds!?  

AMAZING...  A foot to the right or left would have been disastrous.  Or if it had fallen the OTHER direction, Meri's car would have been nailed...

Is there any doubt that God takes care of us?  I'm learning to trust better these days.

Oh! While Robb cut the tree apart, Leon and I did a science experiment with the eclipse.  When I was in elementary school, there was an eclipse.  I'm guessing 1979.  I remember we used paper cups and saw the eclipse through shadows.  I knew we could do it now too, so I googled it.  

Yep!  Eclipse watching for the people who don't plan ahead.

Colanders aren't just for spaghetti anymore!

Ok, enough randomness.  Enjoy your Tuesday and remember, no matter what gets in the suns way, there is nothing new under it. :)

Imaginarium Training

After seeing a stack of egg cartons in the car that I'm taking to a friend at church, Leon came up with a bunch of questions and ideas.

How many chickens does she have?

I want one of her chickens to raise as my own chicken.

I'll let it walk around just on the floor and the counter.

Me: Um, it'll poop and I don't want to bleach the counter every ten minutes.

Then I'll hold it over the toilet and let it poop there.

Me: Not sure that's going to work...

But he is adamant about it and wants to hatch an egg to a chicky.  So he had a pretend one in the back seat of the car with his blanket.  He gave me all the rules to keep it warm and how to drive so it won't get cracked.

Then he told us about a chicken-pig-head-o-saurus.  

wow.

just wow.

There was a marathon of Harry Potter movies over the weekend so I taped them all.  He's seen them but can only watch them on his dad's blu ray player.  I don't have one, so this was a nice alternative but with a lot of commercials.  He told me that one of the Harry Potter spells was real, so I explained that there is a woman named JK Rowling and she has a fantastic imagination, just like him.  The Harry Potter stories are all pretend.  She came up with a story that she had to write down into a book and it was all about a little boy named Harry Potter.  

So how did it get to be a movie?

Me: Someone read the book and said HEY! This would be a great movie!  So they did.

I went on to explain that he has a pretty awesome imagination and could write a book someday too.  He wants to write a Harry Potter book.  I suggested that he come up with a new story with people he's never heard of.  He might...

Someday, I'll tell the story and you can write it down for me Grandma.

It's going to be a big, BIG hit.

Who did it better?

Does anyone else love Better Off Dead more than me?  

I didn't think so...

IF you saw that movie, do you remember Ricky's Christmas present to Monique?

lol!  We quote this movie a lot...

Gee Ricky... I'm really sorry your mom blew up...

 

 YOU know!... The interNATIONAL language... LOVE!

Two dollars...

First, we have: Frawnch fries. And: Frawnch dressing. And: Frawnch bread. 

And to drink: Ta-da! Peru.

Anyway, it's Robb's sister's birthday soon and he got her an electronic picture frame. 

It's fully loaded...

If you get my drift...

 

She is going to just die...

Doozy of a day

I really thought I'd have more time yesterday, like breaks and such...

Wow was it a doozy.

The morning wasn't so bad.  I even took a break when my sister and BIL stopped by!  They needed to drop some things off before heading to my parents for Easter weekend.  But as soon as the boy got on the bus is when all heck broke loose.

Every ten minutes, someone got in touch with me about a crisis.  Yikes!  Makes me feel kind of insecure about my programming!!  But it usually ended up a minor issue or someone else's.  I have a few leftover issues from yesterday that I need to iron out this morning, but hope today is a little quieter.

Anyone see Tucker & Dale vs Evil?  Hilarious...  The language is a little rough, but it's a favorite of ours.  Meri (yes SHE saw it) loves it.

So, you kids like to camp huh?  heh heh heh...

Sorry... ;)

SO anyway... it's Good Friday!  Who's going to church tonight?  

Have a wonderful Easter and the weekend it's a part of.
