Back from the cities

We did a quick trip to the cities this weekend to see my sister and her fam on their way from a week at a Minnesota lake back to Santa Barbara.

We had a great time — but sometime I  may actually have to convince my girls that Minneapolis is more than the Mall of America

Messages from our walk

Bill and  I have been walking after dinner.  Tonight I took my phone along….I received two phone calls from Evie –

Call 1:

Evie: Hi, Bess wants to know if she has to eat all her spinach.  Mom: No — just most of it.  Evie: Okay — I’ll tell her.

Call 2:

Evie: Hi, Bess wants to know if she can have a red apple.  Mom: Yes, if she washes it first.  Evie: May I have a green apple if I wash it first?  Mom: Yes you may.

Good thing I had my phone.

Where I wish I was……

 

Sunset from the cruise ship

IN a word….Yuck

Yep — that’s my weather forecast for today — YUCK.  Ice, sleet, freezing rain and then snow.  It’s about as bad as winter weather gets.  I would rather have several inches/feet of snow to avoid freezing rain.  I also sorta had been hoping either a late start or no school day today — but the girls are on the bus on schedule.  Now the question of the day — and I know you are holding your  breath — will I go to Canton today —-and more importantly — if I go to Canton will West Central (the girls’ school) do an early dismissal.  

Mmmmm….I need more Diet Coke.

See this is why I worry about blogging

As I’m sitting here trying to work on my resolutions — working on writing — I find myself worrying about being freaking boring.  Hey everybody — I need to do laundry and clean my kitchen today — some companies would also like me to pay bills — can you say snooze fest!

What I’m really looking forward to — I get to go to lunch today with my church girlfriends — I haven’t been in weeks.  So I guess I better go do the boring stuff so I can do some fun stuff too.

yeah — really I will put up photos soon

i hosed up my iphoto program when i downloaded an app to make it easier to upload them to facebook.  can you hear me growl.  I’m gonna have to delete and re-install the program I think.  I’m nervous that it’ll goof up my photos….but I think it should be okay — it just makes me nervous.

So I’m behind

Well jeepers I just got back from vacation — I’ll have pics up soon.  :)

Blizzard Update

Sun is out — temp is 8 degrees — with wind chill — it’s -13.  Wind is gusty to 45 mph…..and yet more fishermen show up.  Some things I can’t explain….or even want to try to understand.

Blizzard

Yep we got blizzard conditions — the first photo was taken around 12:00 noon — when they announced early dismissal.  The second photo was taken around 4:00 p.m.  I put up both to show that conditions have not changed — but that didn’t keep 2 hardcore bozos from coming out to ice fish…..wow things must be really bad at home.

Morning….

On this day in history…….1999 – Bill Golden and Kristi Stewart were joined in marriage at La Cumbre Country Club in Santa Barbara, California.  

10 years and counting baby!  Loving every minute of it!
