I am slowly recovering from 20 solid days of  house guests in July.  We started with both my parents for a few days, then it was just my Mom for a week or so, then Rob's 6-year old son, Evan, came for a 2-week visit and somewhere in there my Mom and I took a weekend trip to Seattle so she could catch a plane back home.  I think we had good times ( Read more... )

My birthday was a few weeks ago and I forgot to post about it. Thanks to everyone who remembered and posted about it or sent emails (although you guys can stop remembering now...I'd really like to quit having birthdays except for the part about getting presents ( Read more... )
