Grandchildren







It is amazing what three grandkids (5,3, & 2 years) can do to a household in a few short days. In many ways it feels like child rearing has begun once again. It is all about keeping children happy and healthy. You put aside your desires and routines to give the gifts of a good memories. The memories are also added to your personal store of 'good stuff.' It is part of this wonderful thing called living a full life. Riley and Preston (the 'babies') hang together while Carter contemplates and writes stories. As with you own children, they are each unique. Currently Carter is the thinker, Riley is the giver, and Preston is the mimic trying to find his niche.

A Movie Recommend


Brenda (college roommate) and I watched an independent film on DVD: Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School. We are still talking about it. It got some bad reviews but the "User Comment" on this site say it all for me. If you like independents - see this one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409034/usercomments

Two Summers

After spending two months in New York (the City and Long Island) it feels like I am having another summer; two completely different experiences. The CP video and the painting pictures communicate more than words how these two summers differ. I love them both.

Let The Painting Games Begin







The big question is: Can she get 5 gallons of paint from the bucket to the walls before classes begin? With a little help from Husband Dean: YES she can!!
