I wish you could smell them!

Nate brought me these beautiful roses the other day!

Sunshine

Oh, what fun it has been to have Melissa here. Friday night after she and Lisa arrived we went over to Brad and Claire's for a game night with a bunch of friends. Our brains were stretched with some of the games. What a lot of laughter!

We have had a week full of antique shopping, video blogs, outlet store shopping, reading, web surfing, laughing, etc...Today we are laying low, doing some laundry and cleaning and picking up the pieces from having our Master bath worked on.

I have to brag a little. It's in the 70's today with bright sunshine. Melissa is in fact eating lunch out on the deck wearing shorts, a t-shirt and bare feet! Woohoo! I stopped mid-swipe of the rag on the tub to go open all of the windows in the house. I was going like gangbusters flinging wide the portals to welcome in the fresh air, when BOOM! I stopped in my tracks. We have the kind of windows that can swing out at the top so you can clean both sides more easily. I forgot that one of them was broken and it came down and smacked me in the forehead and sent my glasses flying. I now have a nice purple bump above my right eyebrow. Ice has kept the swelling to a minimum and I am so thankful that it wasn't worse and that my glasses weren't broken and that it barely hurts now. I'm sure that it will be turning colors over the next few days, though!

Rebekah Coronetta Pass


...and her big brother Joshua!

She arrived yesterday just before 7:30 in the evening to Dan and Pari Pass.

Claire and I are taking care of Joshua until his family comes home from the hospital. When I went to pick him up yesterday when Pari went into labor, I told him, "Mommy and Daddy are going to the hospital to get your baby sister!" He said, "Yessir, Penny!"

Happy New Year

I haven't seen my husband yet this year! He left Thursday for New Hampshire for the Year End Convention and will be home tonight. Every once in a while I get taken by surprise by how much I miss him. Wow! I guess the longer you are with someone and the more your relationship grows, the more you miss them when they are gone. Okay. Enough sap.

We are having our Master Bath worked on, so we are being temporarily forced to use the guest bath in the hall. Life is tough.

Melissa is coming!!! And Lisa N. is coming, too!!! Woohoo! I miss my friends. As much as I love living here in the sunny south, I'm envious of the time that Nate has had with family and friends in the frozen north.

Well, I must flee. I need to go shopping for gas, groceries and cat food. I'm trying desperately to come up with some funny anecdote to make this post more interesting, but I'm coming up empty.

Sorry.

At least you know I'm still here.
