Maybe spring is coming.

Anyone for a nice warm glass of Ferret?

Surprise check in the mail, today, from Google Adsense. $100.27 for running ads that people clicked on, on our all-but-forgotten fireworks locator website. Of course, the van's brakes need repair, so this will help pay for that. The check, though, has Jim thinking that he needs to get some more websites out there with adsense on them... Easy money (eventually - this was for about 3 years of hosting the site w/ads)

Margie March 31, 2009

YIKES!!!!

Donna March 31, 2009

Brendan made this clock for us many years ago. I cherish it! But it needs batteries....

Miranda March 31, 2009

Here is the sign that my mom and dad put in front of our house...isn't it so cute?

Tulips surprised by the snow.

Jen March 30, 2009

Today i wasn't feeling well, so Joe brought me a dozen chocolate strawberries.

Miranda March 30, 2009

Joe and Gianni having "tummy time." It's so cute to watch Joe when he comes home from work...he showers then goes straight to G!

Molly March 30, 2009

More fundraisers. A car wash and plant sales. The prices on the plants are pretty good. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you an order form.

Maureen March 30, 2009

Family Game Night at the library. We were the only family there. We had fun playing the library's games, though, on a nice big table, without our own mess around us.

Marla March 30, 2009

Magician at Sanfratello's wowing Cole.

Andrea March 30, 2009

Dear Santa,

Love,
Andrea

Apparently it has been over 23 years since I have made Goop Glop. My kids were asking, "What is this?" And, when I told them, they said, "What??????" They had never heard of it. But, they think it is a wonderful delicacy. This is the 2nd pan I have made since Saturday. Jesse was telling all of his friends at school about goop glop - like he had discovered the 8th wonder of the world! Well....and there goes my lenten vow to cut out all the extras....

I did not take a picture today. This picture was actually from Saturday night, Ellie using my leg for a pillow.

Miranda March 29, 2009

Harry (the cat) meeting G for the first time!

An evening with a laundry basket brought to you by Stephen Lewis.

Maureen March 29, 2009

I started this blanket for Allison years ago. I joked with her, at the time, saying I'd probably have it done in time for her to bring it to college. Now... I'm hoping that I have it done in time for her to bring it to college.

Donna March 29, 2009

Sunday morning on my street. Beautiful!

Marla March 29, 2009

Dylan going back to UIC...his Spring break is over...and ours is just starting.

Jen March 29, 2009


Joe and I were planning on going out to Geneva for some shopping. Then Joe say's OMG look out the window. This is what we woke up to. Plus if you look in the background there is a lot of damages to the tree/bushes the ice broke them. But this was Juneau's happiest day ever he ran all over the backyard then would dip his nose in the snow and eat some snow. Juneau is going to hate Virginia No Snow at least any that sticks to the ground and only 1 day a year.

Well, we did not get the whole basement clean, as you can see in the background, but we did finish the corner where the washer and dryer are. Stay tuned.....

Miranda March 28, 2009

The lovely view from our hospital bedroom....can't believe how much it snowed!

Molly March 28, 2009

Keno and her yummy bagel bone. It was gone in about two minutes.

Maureen March 28, 2009

Our kids need new bikes this spring, so we were checking them out at Target. Bryce seemed to like this one, which was the cheapest 20" one there (and which our kids will probably end up with, too).

Marla March 28, 2009

Went to Susie's baby shower today (she's due June 2nd)

Jen March 28, 2009

Today James is 8 months old. Time does fly!

Donna March 28, 2009

Went up to the neighbor's for one (1) beer. Some of you know him as Rickie Dell. We just missed Millie who is staying with him for a few days. Darn it.

Andrea March 28, 2009

Watching TV on Saturday night. Amazing how I can do that with my eyes closed!

Margie March 28, 2009

I couldn't get the gas shutoff to budge, so called a friend who works for the gas comapny. He came over and took out the old dryer and put in the new one. We call this guy Tom Cruise. He's always so nice to look at! But, he's married. Darn! I used to watch his kids, and his wife is a dear friend of mine. Still, he's fun to look at.

A great day to lay around and read Twilight with a cat.

Daddy ordering pizza! Yum, yum!

Gianni's first cousin pajama party!

Molly March 27, 2009



Margie, I know you have your "Margaret" club. But you also unknowingly belong to a club with me. One I wish we both were not in. New furnace $3000.00 January 23rd. Car repairs $800+ March 16th (thank you to my angel for this one.) $500+ still needed. New Washer needed March 27th, $400+? Is this my three? Does it stop now?

Marla March 27, 2009

Cole at his last fencing class and boy was he happy that it was over (he really didn't enjoy it). Sorry his back is to the camera I couldn't get a better angle.

Betty March 27, 2009

The entrance to the RV/Trailer Park where we live.


One of my favorite trailers here. You can't see it very well but the front is decorated with a hand-built Italian? village and a full-size statue of a classical lady and a fountain and more...


The view from my window... Laundry on the right. Dumpsters on the left. T-bird man's car in front of the laundromat... Also next door to my favorite trailer... [more about t-bird man some other day...]

Margie March 27, 2009

She was pretending that she was sleepwalking, and she went into a pet shop and all of the pets came to life and followed her. She would stop, move them all forward a bit, and then stand in front of them again. She did it over and over again, until they followed her all the way across the room. Active imagination - that one!
