Mother's Day comes not that long after my birthday, so I always feel like I've already celebrated it and that I don't need more cards and presents--yet.

Yes, I think the not sized is the problem. I have all the usual tools but it's a struggle. I'll be wicked glad to get it done.
Janice I echo Karen's birthday wishes! I don't think you're looking at Facebook anymore are you??
Dave and I start a ballroom dance class tonight. We leave for Fort Lauderdale Tuesday of next week so we'll miss the second class. Oh well. I think I can miss class for days in the sun! Nothing but rain here..................All of New England I think.

I've heard that one too! I look forward to having company though after we fix things up and make it more of ours. I've been working hard at peeling off this darn wallpaper border. It's wicked hard to get off. We've painted one small room any have a lot more to go.

Karen, have you heard the saying, "Guests and fish stink after 3 days"?! Actually, it's been pretty easy this time cuz they rented a car, so they're not dependent on us to take them around. Right now they're in Las Vegas for 2 nights. Then they're coming back for a day and then going to San Francisco for 2 nights. And they're so enthusiastic about everything they've been seeing here, so that makes it easier, too. We almost discouraged them from going to Universal Studios. It seems boring to us cuz we've been there so much, but they really liked it!

Can I borrow your grandchildren, Kathi, until I have some of my own? They're so cute!

Here are a few Nana moments.
Sorry!!!

We are back from CT after returning the Grandchildren back to their rightful owners!
I had such a great time (with a few exceptions) with the kids. The youngest who is almost 2 is so funny. She has many many facial expressions ...and definitely knows what she wants. She is very quiet, laid back. She slept through the night...something she doesn't do at home....Little Miss Princess (Camille) will sit for hours doing "art projects"...she is a girly girl who likes to play in the dirt. The oldest one , Caleb, is all boy, jumping, running, moving even while trying to sit still...he has the red head temperment, too. Kids always act differently when their parents aren't around!!
Back to reality tomorrow...I think it'll be a long week!
