Weekend Recap

Today I am home following an all-nighter with Ellie girl who seemed to have eaten something that didn't agree with her.  Eric is also under the weather…poor babies!!  I think it may have been the grilled cheese.  The good news is that Ellie is on the mend, and I am getting some much needed cleaning done!


Was this not the most beautiful weekend?  Gosh, we enjoyed it!  We left Friday for Marion to visit Eric's mom and Dad and for Eric play in a golf tourney.  Of course, both kids slept on the way and were up late, but it wasn't as bad as when we went to Lexington. 


Saturday morning we got up and played around the house until it was time to go to the golf match.  The course had a little chipping green in front of the clubhouse that gave my kids HOURS of entertainment.  Ha! Eli thought he was on the PGA Tour,  and Ellie kept running off with the little flags. 


After playing the first nine holes, the golfers came in for dinner before finishing the last nine with "Glow Golf."  The kids got kinda restless, so we took them home.  Sunday was more family time before hitting road and heading back to watch Miss America…more on that later. 


By the way, meet Minnie Mouse.  She is Ellie's newest pal…thanks NAN!!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
