It all started with the closet....

I got the bug shortly after the Holidays.

I needed some change.

Gary being the good sport that he is, graciously went to work building shelves in my closet so that I could organize my shoes and stuff. Shortly after that was done I decided it was time to revamp the whole bedroom. I realized that it just wasn't me anymore, it was a dark and dreary room. I last remodeled it when I was going through my divorce (4 1/2 years ago). At the time I was depressed and could sleep away the hours without any concern for time of day or night. So it was only natural to darken the room to match my mood. It was a nice room, I liked the dark colors at the time. However....I decided to lighten and brighten the room
to reflect the NEW ME!

It should all be done this weekend. Gary's worked hard with lots of advise and critiquing from you know who (ME). I actually even put on a few touches of my own with a paint brush. I'm excited to get it all put together.

You will have to check back for the unveiling of a beautiful new room.

Sometimes all we need is a HUG!

I feel that some days I just need a hug to get me through. (My Gary gives GREAT HUGS and seems to know just when I need one) While reading blogs and talking to people around me I think I'd like to give out some extra hugs right now. I can't physically reach each of you... so here's your hug. These trying times will get better. I love you!

Kids and Dinosaurs, WOW!

We spent a great day with the kids and dinosaurs. It was really fun to see the little ones react to the dinosaurs. I learned a lot about Dinosaurs, it was really educational as well as entertaining. Of course, Zach already knew most of what they had to say, however he did admit to learning a few new things.



Shea, Cam And Susan are amazed by the size of the dinosaurs





Zach and Max enjoy snacks as they watch the show.



Taylor (Brex's Friend), Shea, Seth, Brex, Cam, Zach and Max waiting through intermission




Shea and Grandma sat together and we weren't even scared.







OK, I don't know why the video shows up twice but I can't figure out how to get rid of it so there you go. Enjoy!

Santa had me give my grandkids there own elf for the season to help them remember to be good. On Thanksgiving each family received their elf. Each night this elf returns to the North Pole to report to Santa. In the morning he's back in his home to do his job.
