CELEBRATE!

We just found out this afternoon that we are having a niece...Kayley Louise! So, of course we then did what any normal aunt, uncle, mom, dad, and grandmother would do...we went shopping! Pictures to come!

Rattlesnake Rootbeer

It's amazing what you find when you start packing up all of your belongings. Last night L and I found a box full of supplies to make your own rootbeer.

We decided that if we were going market our mom and pop operation we'd call it Rattlesnake Rootbeer - Rootbeer with Bite! However, we have misgivings about whether we will live up to our name. So for those of you who are going to help us move next week...now you have something else to look forward to! It should be ready within 7-14 days...

Philip's Published Poem

A few weeks ago I shared one of my brother's poems on this blog. Since then we found out that another one of his poems is going to be published! Here it is...

TENNIS

Back. Forth.
Across the court.
Hitting the ball.
Running back.
Volleying. Overheads.
Hitting real hard.
But the real way to win,
To beat the other,
Better player.
Is to think.

New Post on A's Quilts

Last week I went to Alabama and got to spend an entire week QUILTING! I wrote about it on the A's Quilts sideblog so go there to read more (it's on the right side of the page under CURRENTLY CONSUMING OUR TIME).

Congratulations, L!

On Tuesday L successfully completed his thesis defense with unanimous approval by his professors! Congratulations on this major accomplishment, L!
