Well Tuesday was spent recuperating and Lauren being 7 recuperated very quickly.  7 year olds have an amazing capacity for bouncing back and then it's all about how to keep them entertained. There is a park at the end of our road that has a playing field, swings, slide and sand so by Tuesday afternoon […]

Rosanne, Michael and Lauren spent yesterday at Disney and had loads of fun, they were scheduled to stay 2 nights at the Disney hotel and I was supposed to meet them today to spend Laurens birthday with her at the Disneyland park. All sounds great in theory until something comes along to throw a spanner […]

Well It is Laurens birthday tomorrow and as they are spending today at Disneyland I know they won't be reading this blog so I can now release pictures of the quilt I have made for them. This first quilt for Lauren was the one I mostly finished at the retreat.  Here you can see the […]

This morning we went to the park and then walked over the hill to Starbucks for a hot chocolate. That was fun till Lauren […]

Well I'd like to say Utah blows or Utah sucks but I can't as I actually like Utah.  It does however snow! Last week I had the dubious honor of flying to Utah in order to get all the sprinklers running at the rental houses.  I had booked the flight a week before based on […]

Wow, you just never know who you are going to run into or who will track you down from your past. We all know the saying "Be careful who you stab in the back on your way up as they will be there waiting for you on your way down!"  I guess the same can […]

So today I am feeling a bit "drained", drinking a gallon of foul lemony/salty fluid starting at 4:30 am is enough to make you vomit (but I was a good girl and didn't) but certainly did the trick with cleaning out my whole system! The day didn't start well, it took them 4 tries in […]

It's true, weird but true.  Hey, there's not much in my life that isn't weird, wacky or could only happen to me but how does one shrink when there is no bone loss?  The only thing I can think of is the disks between the vertebrae are flattening which would explain the 2 disks that […]

Wow, that was weird, we were just sitting watching a DVD when all of a sudden there was a really strange noise. It sounded like the DVD player was continually accessing the DVD, that kind of high squeaky noise it makes but we realized it was the walls and the outside deck shaking that was […]

The only really bad part of the whole trip was coming back to mounds of mail.  I managed to get rid of all the junk mail and separate the magazines and I still had a 6 inch pile of mail that needed to be entered into the accounting package or sorted in someway then filed, […]
