Washing Grampa's Truck





Grampa hired my girls to wash his truck for $1 apiece. It was great fun.

Folding Grandpa's Tarp










An Amazing Month in My Life

If I had 6 months to live,

I would take my sweetie on a getaway.
Form a new relationship with my Mother in Law, apologize to her, and fly her to spend some real time together.
Apologize to each and every sister-in-law I have for being a jerk for the last 5-8 years.
Give up blaming everyone in my family for making my house a mess.
Get really present to my children; you know, actually see them and the innocence, wonder and grace that they are.
Give up blaming my messy house for my being unhappy.

And, that is just what I have done.

But, I'm not going to die as far as I know. I just took the Landmark Forum.

I have a few summarizing descriptions of my experience there.

1. Take the crap from your past out of your future. It ceases to have power in your life.
2. See all the judgments I've piled on EVERYone in my life, even total strangers. Let go of those judgments completely.

I can't remember the other one. Pictures to come.

Extra Good Babysitters


Thank you, Ms. Kristen! Two toned fingernails plus toes is a very impressive combination, wouldn't the rest of you agree? (Who can spell Girly-girls!)
