death and dying of young people...
Today my sons best friends older brother died of Melanoma. He was in his 20's. I"m sure living in San Diego's hot sun was the cause - not sure about if he wore sunscreen or sun protective clothing...My son made a lovely card for his best friend and made a little present. I can't imagine the families grief. It must be overwhelming. My response ( Read more... ) -

legoland
we went to legoland today! It was sooooo awesome. The day was cool and not at all crowded. By 12:30 all the mommies had left and the park was pretty much deserted. Walked around with my friend Michelle and her beautiful little boy RD and my kids. Great day. Got to ride the rollercoaster with Donovan twice in a row because there was no one in ( Read more... ) -
Roundup Reality Check
Thank goodness for my girlfriend in Oregon. I almost DID IT! It's definately a sign that I'm losing touch with reality. I almost used Roundup on my landscaping. The poison I alway's vowed I'd NEVER EVER buy or use. Me being Mrs. Oregon Organic Hippy Girl. I talked with my best friend and she reminded me about why Roundup isn't a good idea and ( Read more... ) -
Brainfog
My lovely family and I went camping in the desert motivated by Donovan's desire to try riding his little 50 motorcycle. Mike had bought Donovan a little 50 at the swapmeet for $50.00 (appropriate:-)). The two guys worked all week on it in the evening putting this 1970's Suzuki back together from the cardboard box it came with. We packed up the ( Read more... )
