'splaining

I know I haven't posted all week and I even got an email to that effect, so I just want to say I'm okay but have been busy with all my kiddos this week, as my Craig has been home. We have had a wonderful time but he is leaving today, and later, at some point this weekend, I will post. Probably with pictures, even.

Happy weekend to all!  :)

Finally, a few pics from last weekend...The whole crew, mostly at the Garden of the Gods. Craig, the furry one that looks like he just came down from his "mountain home". Jordan, the one that currently looks like Gorbachev with the funky thing on his head..don't ask... Dani, Craig's most beautiful girl with the dark hair, and Tegan--the petite, (Jordan's) oh-so-pretty blonde. And then, Mark and I, of course.

I am upright today, mostly. That's a huge improvement, as I have been walking like the old woman from the shoe..hunched over, with an ugly limp, slide, splat walk. The pain is still there, but the legs seem stronger. I'll take it.

Furniture finally arriving this morning...I hope. It was 65 degrees on Thursday, I was out on my balcony in the sun. This morning? Five or so inches of wonderful, white stuff. So, I hope the delivery truck can get here with the sofa, chair, ottoman and area rug. My living room is empty and echo-ey. Ten people (if you count Brodie, although he did little to help) showed up Thursday evening to rid me of the old, feather and cat hair monstrosity...I said good riddance. There were four major pieces of furniture, six giant throw pillows,and fifteen feather filled seat cushions and backs. BUH-BYE.

I have not yet bought the counter-height, mahogany table and chairs to go near the balcony doors. I can't find the right one, but am hoping that I can find it today. Assuming my body can take the shopping, and right this minute, I can't say.

Happy Weekend. :)

Janelle's Birthday

Janelle's birthday celebration last night, at the Lonestar Steakhouse. Janelle, Brodie, Mark, Jordy and Tegan. Yes, Craig and Dani were missed. :( But we had a great time. I cannot believe that my daughter is thirty years old, today. She looks like a little kid, still...but she is a mom now, with another on the way. Good heavens, the changes in her life in the past couple of years! She and I and Brodie had a good time all day. We ran here and there...shopped, ate, just had fun. And, just so you all know, if you are going to buy the Elvis Gospel Music DVD..it will NOT play in your CD player. Good heavens, I thought I bought a cd. I really wanted to HEAR it, not see it. I put it in my player in the car..and it read err. Hmm..just great--now my cd player is going out! Tried again, still read err. So, I swore a little. Then put the disc back in the case. That's when I read the letters DVD on the cover. Geez...in my defense though, it was in the CD section at Barnes and Noble. Duh. Happy Sunday.
