Hard to believe — but here it is….the pics from the 1st day of school. I didn’t keep up very well on our adventure last week — I got a little under the weather. But here’s a peek at yesterday! Click on the photos to see a bigger version.

So the adventure begins
Posted in girls on August 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday, the girls and I hit the mall and then the movies. We saw Kung Fu Panda at our cheap theatre….$3.00 a ticket — I’m there. The best part is the popcorn and pop is cheap too! We did some shopping — why oh why do I even go into Gymboree….and why oh why can’t [...]
Book Review – Amber Morn
Posted in books on August 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Amber Morn is the last of the four books in Brandilyn Collins’ Kanner Lake Series…..and it is a whiz bang way to end the series (although I’m gonna miss the characters). I started the book on Saturday and finished it on Sunday! I didn’t want to put it down because I was on the edge [...]

School for the girls starts on Tuesday, August 26th….so this upcoming week will be our last full week of summer vacation.

Evie and Bess found my velcro rollers and begged me to use them in their hair. They even wanted to sleep on them so their hair would be extra curly the next day. Well…..Evie did a good job of sleeping on her stomach….Bess did not. Taking the rollers out of Bess’ hair was a major [...]

Book Review – Crimson Eve
Posted in books on August 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Crimson Eve is the 3rd book in Brandilyn Collins’ Kanner Lake series. When I read the author’s note at the beginning of the book I sort of scoffed at her comments about what a “buckle your seat belt ride” this story was….well….my apologies to the author. This story was one heck of a thrill ride. [...]
The Shack — an emotional must read
Posted in books on August 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I finished The Shack about a week ago and have been stirring around for a way to summarize my thoughts about it. The story hooked me in almost immediately even though the source of Mack’s Great Sadness was really painful. (Mack is the main character by the way) It is Mack’s story. I don’t want [...]

OH MY GOSH…..

Here’s the deal. I’ve been a politics free zone since starting this blog. But today I posted a photo of my youngest wearing a Dykstra for Senate t-shirt…..because that was what she was wearing yesterday….well it’s ironic but today the Johnson campaign announced he won’t debate and his chief staffer said because “Dykstra hasn’t earned [...]
