Wow.. I can't believe I have let housework interfere with my computer time.. :) hehehe
It seems like forever since I last posted here, but we have been super crazy busy putting our home together the way we want it, and then having family over as often as possible.
Bills got paid today, laundry (at home) finished, and breakfast and lunch are over and the clean up done. WOOHOO!!!
Time to play a while..

I am off tomorrow.. thank you Donna and Julie and the good doctor for whom I work. I love you all. This means our trip is moved up to sometime later today to visit our little Valentines. (the urge is great to call them 'my funny valentines'.)
Wendell is now going to have the oil changed in the car and I'll be heading over to the library to get a couple books on tape for us to listen to on the trip. It's a long one for us, but we enjoy it.
I need to stop at the carwash to vacuum out the car too.. and then we have to pack a few duds to wear while we are visiting..
WOOHOO! Gonna have a good time!
Isaac, Essie, and Gayle... get the SkipBo cards out and ready to go!

to our son in law Cory
whose birthday is
today!
