Hi everyone. Yea! I finally got something on our blog. It only took 2 days and a multitude of phone calls to the girls for help. I am at Hallee and Landans and have time to type away and organize some of the pictures I've taken. I can't quite get them organized yet, and the thought that I have to post everything upside down and backwards baffles me.
I'm loving the down time and enjoying the family here. We went to an awsome concert in the park tonight. Hallee and Landan live near an old folks home (where I'm going someday. Hallee promised me a wheel chair with a sun umbrella!) A great group of Drs. from the hospital, called the "Mid-Life Crisis", performed. They were fantastic! All kinds of music, and appropriate geriatric jokes. We had dinner, served in the park complete with snow cones. We just walked home and the kids are roasting smores in the fire pit on the deck. I'm just kickin it and enjoying every minute.
I miss you all. Keep posting those great pictures. I LOVE them. Love all of you. We are driving to Sydney tomorrow to see Alan, Landan, Shea, and the "beach boys" (what they call the "migrant workers" from Camarillo. I'll try to get some pictures of them hard at work.
Have fun, and keep prompting me with the blog. I'm on a roll now. The sky's the limit!
Love, Mom, Grandma, Lindann, whatever?

Mom stayed with us for 2 weeks to help get ready for Ellie and a week after to help me figure out how to get on with life and 2 kids. Calling her a lifesaver is an understatement!! Mom, you are AMAZING! (another understatement).
Here's the kitchen in the cabin? (a million dollar home, sleeps 20, all private baths, on the lake. Now, that's my idea of camping!)
Just soaking in the peace and quiet. Watching the kids wear themselves out in the lake.

Hey! Whose the other woman? Oh yeh! No worries. It's just cute Hallee getting an extra hug.
Do they look happy, or what?
