Flying, bikes and moon pies


Bullet posts:

  • Natalie and I have been recovering from bronchitis the past two weeks. I'm feeling human today, but sadly was disappointed last weekend when I could not pull myself together enough to go to the Bruce Hornsby/Ricky Scaggs concert we had tickets for :-( Oh well....next month is Keb'Mo. Surely I'll be well enough then!
  • Last night was our first Mardi Gras parade! R's niece fly in for a visit from the Big Apple, so she had first-hand knowledge of how her "country-cousins" spend their evenings :-)
  • Natalie has finally conquered her bike! It is like she woke up with balance one day & now she's a natural....thank goodness! We're so proud of her. And Anna can almost ride Nat's old bike with training wheels....she's just about 1 inch too short ... but "I'M A BIG GIRL!" she will proclaim.
  • It is so cold & dreary here today...I've been praying for snow, but it is just a teensy bit north of us. Dagnabbit!
  • It is so interesting to hear about cousin Lauryn's life in Manhattan. Apartment living in the Big Apple and life in general is SO different than life anywhere else. And N had it right when she exclaimed that we live in suburban area & Lauryn lives in a VERY urban area....right she is. I'm happy to see that she does pay attention in school.
  • Speaking of school, N is still making A's......good girl!
  • And Anna is SO smart and a very fast learner. A bit on the sassy side, but hey, what's life if you don't have TWO sassy sistas in your household??
  • OK, gotta scoot....Roger is pushing me out of the way to do some online shopping at LLBe*ns.
