That's Right, Folks, He's 45!


Even though the girls are gone to camp, Scott still chose to have a birthday. The boys and I celebrated without them.

We were sad.


I know it's hard to tell, but we missed them.


This year for his birthday, Scott had his right knee cut open and pre-arthritic growth cut out. That was yesterday. $10 says he'll try to play basketball next week. Because youth and skill are no match for old age and treachery. Guess which category he falls under. Go ahead. Guess.


Handsome bunch, aren't they? You can see where those darling boys get their good looks.

For the moment, I am the prettiest girl in the house.

Unless you like cats and dogs.

    Good looking family you have there...but you are the prettiest, by far.

    And with two less people in the house?

    More cake for you!

    Whoa whoa whoa! The broken toe went to camp? Did she take a copy of her x-ray for maximum sympathy? :)

    Happy Birthday hubby! Now, the real question, will the girls be ticked that there was a celebration without them? Girls are like that I hear. : )

    Why is it that men feel physically fabulous even when they're recovering from surgery?! Well, except when they are whiney babies... ;-)

Christmas Gifts

Jill is the slice of home baked pie you long for. Her dad was a farmer. His dad was a farmer. On a hot summer day Jill would call me up to go floating down the canal or ride the slick rocks with the stream into a barely thawed pool of water. She's also the girl I called one day when I was bored and offered to drive two hours and try out this new thing called "Bungee Jumping." We did although I can't remember why . The first year after my college graduation I found myself particularly low on pride.  First of all, I was a college graduate working as a sales clerk.  Too late I discovered that a bachelors degree in sociology is equal to a high school diploma and, in some cases, a G.E.D. and got you hired at JC Penney trying to upsale with a colorful scarf.  On top of it, I'd been dumped.  It wasn't that he was the love of my life.  In fact, it was quite the opposite.  He started planning the wedding aloud and I freaked out, pointing out that we'd only bee...

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...
