Welcome Back!

Alex had been driving my baby hybrid and trying to save the world on 1 tank of gas while we were in SC. He drove his jeep to work yesterday and the world said, "Pow!"

To add insult to injury - it rained buckets this morning. I don't know how that 'open window in a thunder storm' karma reached from SC to ND, but somehow it did!

p.s. A landscaper's trimmer shot a rock at the window while Alex was driving.

See You...

TOMORROW!

My Marshall

This is how my baby greets me whenever he gets up from his nap. He somehow finds the strength to drag his weakened body to the top of the stairs and just look pitiful. I immediately climb the stairs and rub him down. He has a good life and I love him!

8th Grade Graduation Dance Prep

Apparently it involves getting gussied up and playing Rockband! Alicia and Stormie were ready for the dance at 2:30 (dance starts at 7pm). More pictures to come!

D.A.R.E. & Field Day

Alex's 5th grade class had their DARE graduation yesterday. The kiddos decided to wear their shirts today for field day at the school. (Apparently, playing Rock Band is a good alternative to drugs and ALCOHOL. *cough *cough - you know who you are...)

Just an ordinary box...

One extraordinary cat!

More Golf

I may not know any of the rules of golf - but you must be pretty important if you get to hold the flag! Actually, I know two things now: Alex said that you use a putter to putt and the driver to hit the ball a long distance. He was with a group of nice Catholic boys from the Catholic HS golf team. I should have brought Alicia along to enjoy the view! (or marry her off) Alex is enjoying the links and it's next to a Starbucks, so...it's all good!~
