Gosh, I strongly dislike summer vacation…school/work start at the end of August. A lifetime away from now.

The State of our Union

The State of our Union

Even our Union is broken. Congressman & woman fight with one another, who do they work for? Us, not the money, vote them out, the ones who refuse to compromise, vote them out of office, no matter their party. I am married to my opposite, but we’ve learned to compromise with each other. Because we are grown ups. Because we love each other & what we are, a family. We (it is ‘we’ isn’t it? People & the land are ‘we’), as a country, are giving up & pulling out. I drive down our roads & there is nothing to see but FOR SALE signs. This is NOT who we are. We have families, we have homes with friends & dogs & cats & birds & fish… These are the things that define who we are, do you really want to sell WHO we are? But who am I to say this? Nobody, really. I’m just one vote. But I’m paying attention & these ribbons say it all.

The scary eye exam

My Dad examining Henry's eyes, I showed him the picture I took with my phone

Henry says, I look like a bug.
I said,”Quick, we need Raid bug spray”

funny tale about Carrie Underwood song ‘before he cheats’

funny tale about Carrie Underwood song 'before he cheats'

Henry & i were listening to the song of the title. As I passed him I sang along (I married a southern man, but pandora slips in country songs) part of the song, “He’s spending that three dollars on that bathroom Cologne” as I am walking past Henry, he says, “I thought it was Hobo” The cologne part. Then I explain why he’s putting on the cologne, so he smells good for the lady he with. A wee pause, then he says, “THREE DOLLARS!” Thats my boy.
In this picture, Nala is wearing “i Love Snow” poor thing.

This child said to me last night while I sat at my desk, laughing at something. “Mom, I love it when you smile…& I love it when you laugh, it make me feel really happy” then he walked out of the room.
