My Two Cents!

Hey everybody! Greetings from beautiful Tunbridge, Vermont! I've been trying to organize my life since returning from Virginia but I spend too much time watching bad TV. Please pray for me that I take the time I need to get my house in order. I have tons to do in the "creative" department including writing an "Empty Nest" essay that I have put off since MARCH!

Virginia was good. It was crazy. And I can't wait for Beth to post her photo. She knows the one I mean. Some funny things happened over the weekend. For you readers out there, ask Beth how she HURLED on the sidewalk one morning trying to take her vitamin. Not pretty but hilarious! She actually apologized to a guy who witnessed the event. No harm done except for howls of embarrassed laughter. Beth, you always do the funniest things!

The Mother of the Bride can report that Christie is actively looking for the most important outfit she will ever wear. More searching to do but she is on the trail of something pretty special. I hope she enjoys her week in Myrtle Beach. I know how she feels about vacation. The trips back and forth to Virginia are anything but relaxing but we have a good time!

Mom leaves for Rhode Island today for a long weekend at Linda and Don's with Scott. I hope they have a great time. I'll be cleaning house and tending my garden. Hope it's a good weekend for the rest of you.

Hey Poopsie! An e-mail is on it's way soon to Ruth E. I haven't forgotten her!

I almost peed my pants when my mom told me about her vitamin story. That was hilarious!! I'm glad you ladies had a good time, and thankfully came back in one piece! ;-) I want to see pictures!!!

Stop watching TV it is bad for the brain. But, do rotate 15 minutes of cleaning with 15 minutes of relaxing. That helps!
Oh, and you must know, I will be asking for a peek at the essay, so stop being like me, or better yet, START! Make yourself something relaxing to drink, and a bit of tasty treat, and sit and do it. You will feel better. Remember rough draft first, so it doesn't have to be perfection. It is a rough draft for a reason!
I also can relate to trips back and forth as a fun yet not so relaxing. Although, I must say, I do chill out when I am up yonder at the family homestead. :) My life sort of stops, you know. I just wish the drive wasn't so long.

I made sauce for Mom and Scott to eat. I know, it's kind of sacrilege to make sauce for the sauce queen, but it was made with FRESH tomatoes, from scratch. So, there were no complaints, even from DJ, who is the pasta hater. We followed this with YUMMY brownies (my new favorite recipe) and ice cream.
I hope to hear from you soon, Kathy. She's driving me crazy! Also, she wants to surprise everyone about her earrings, so act surprised! Thanks.
