I'm thinkin' I've been loving the weather this week! Great sleeping and cool, peaceful mornings. I feel like I'm on vacation!

Also thinkin' that keeping children engaged in positive activities is challenging! My oldest seems to be dedicated to watching garbage TV, something I've never condoned. She's only 7.... Must the battle of wills begin so soon?? :0\

I have never seen so much dead grass in the yard.  I am wondering if it will recover.

And it hurts my bare feet!   Not to mention, when we walk on the driest of the dry, it puffs up in clouds of dry-bits.   I feel like Dorothy, wondering if I got poofed away to Arizona or DryDockedDundee.

I did a double-take, I knew I hadn't posted this but had to check to be sure.   Sounds like a lot of people these days.

It should recover, Erie.  AFTER the rains come.  lol

Grass just goes dormant when it gets this dry... just like in the winter.  It's dead above the ground, but below ground it's still alive.

We hope.

I am thinking that my daughter’s big day is finally here. 

Today I have to wear a monkey suit and lose my little baby girl.  Well, I know I am not losing her, but she has been my responsibility, and now her new husband will fill that role.  I know we will still be close, but it will not be the same either.

It is good that they knew each other for years as “just friends” and I got to know him as a friend of my daughter and a friend to me before it became a relationship.  He is a good man, and I know he will take good care of her (not that she needs taken care of; she can stand on her own two feet VERY WELL).  He likes to read and we often talk about and share books as our interests are very similar. 


They met at each other’s first karate class and both continued working at it.  Both have 2nd degree black belts, and he has a black belt in swords too.  But, more important they love each other and have that deep down comfort with each other that will be a blessing to them in their future.

So, it really is a very happy day, and it also means that finally the mountains of stress can finally fade...

Congrats on a job "well done" ducksoup

Enjoy yourself

What beautiful sentiments you expressed, Duck.  Many happy blessings on this day.

I'm thinking the MT site is running very slow at times this morning...

this often seems to precede an "outage"

I hate to tell you ducksoup, but that mountain of stress??  It NEVER goes away . . sometimes it turns into hills, but, it's always there.  Married or not, she's still your baby.

Can't get away from it, 'cause Erie is right .
