It may be hard to see in this picture but there were two single strands of spider web, one going from the maple tree to the ground, but the most amazing one was spanning across the driveway. How did that get built?

Marla August 12, 2010

Wonder what he's listening to.

Maureen August 12, 2010

We went camping at Indiana Dunes State Park tonight. The campground there is really nice. We're hoping to go back again some time in September, maybe.

This has become quite a project. I started organizing my pictures and scrapbooks...

We went to Flat Top Grill to celebrate Allison's birthday. It was fabulous! Happy 19th, Al!

We went to the scrap yard today. I find it just amazing...G also loves it, but he fell asleep right before we got there.

Marla August 11, 2010

I checked out a few waiting rooms today. Colleen wasn't feeling very well so I drove her to a couple of doctor appointments today.

"Secret Colours" at Circus skatepark.

Miranda August 9, 2010

We celebrated our neighbors birthday tonight!

Margie August 9, 2010

I alphabetized all the kid's books on my bookshelf. And now I have been writing down each title and author so that I can make up a list of the books I own. It will make it easier when I need books for the lessons and themes I teach. I can quickly see if I have the book, or if I need to go to the library. Now that I have hand-written the titles of all 639 books, I can go ahead and type them up. Whew!

We were going to Borders, so we brought Eric's computer with to see if we could vote for "Secret Colours" again. It didn't work. If you haven't voted yet please do. Thanks. http://chicago.thedelimagazine.com/

Today I had my shoulder surgery. It went well I'm still out of it. I can't feel my arm at all, it's such a strange feeling. Joe got to stay for almost two weeks to help me with the kids.

Molly August 4, 2010

What a fun day. I am OK. Not sure about my car. The driver of the red car when to the hospital with chest pains. The driver of the black car was flying in what she believed to be the turn lane. It really was a yellow stripped area leading from one left turn lane to another left turn lane, if you are going north. She was going to left some where up the road, except she was going south. I was entering the turn lane from my office to wait for a clear lane to turn into.
