We’re back from our vacation and we had lots of fun.  We spent a week at a resort in Whipholt, MN called Huddles.  It was a very family oriented place full of daily activities.  The owners were extremely friendly and very involved in all the activities.  You could tell that they absolutely love their jobs.  [...]

Today Megan got her “expander” put into her mouth.  This is something that will help make room for her adult teeth that will hopefully someday come in.  She’s way behind when it comes to her teeth.  It’s pretty funny listening to her talk, but at the same time, it reminds me of when I had [...]

Wow, has the wind been “whipping” around here!  The gusts are so strong that we’ve had to take down the hanging plants, flags and even the umbrella on the patio table.  We had a nasty storm come through Friday night and when we woke up Saturday morning, we found part of our neighbor’s tree in our [...]

Today the girls went horseback riding.  It was Megan’s second time and Kelly’s first.  They went on an hour long, guided trail ride along a river in Carver Park, each girl on their own horse.  I was a little worried for them because of our “tropical” weather that we’re having.  The heat index was at 100 degrees [...]

Last night, Megan had her first band concert as a percussionist.  After only having twelve lessons, the group which consisted of clarinets, trombones, trumpets, baritones and percussion, put on a 20 minute “mini-concert” showing off what they had learned.   They did pretty well, considering these kids never played together once (except the hour before the [...]

Today was a productive day for me.  I spent an hour and a half going through our Cd’s (and we have alot of Cd’s). I made three piles….ones that stay, ones that get tossed out and the ones that will go to the “used Cd store”.  After that, I alphabetized all the keepers.  I know what [...]

How does that saying go?  “It’s hotter than blue-blazes today!”  That’s what my grandpa used to say.  And that’s all I could think about today.  We’re currently at 92 degrees and not much wind to cool us off.  I’ve gone out a few times to water my poor plants and herbs that are wilting.  I’m [...]

We’re starting to get ready for our Fourth of July holiday around here.  I’ve put out the flag, watered the grass (not sure why), we’ll be getting groceries tonight and the girls & I got our hair done.  We’re hitting the golf-course (pun intended) around noon tomorrow and then coming home for some BBQ ribs & chicken on [...]
