Only one week later...

and I'm back. I'm ignoring the world for 15 minutes. Drew is watching a movie, the washer and dryer are both going. I've got tons to do but need just a minute. 

The weekend with Tim was glorious!!! We walked the beach to town Saturday morning, did some shopping, I got a new ring, chain for a pendant I already own, necklaces for the kids for Christmas, a ring for Beth for Christmas, and bobble-head turtles for some goofy gifts for our friends' kids.  Oh and 2 giant wine goblets, gorgeous!!! we had lobster for dinner sat. night.  we slept in both days, Sat. I slept to 10, Sunday to 8am, felt so wonderful to wake up when *I* woke up. No alarm!!! The drive home was fine until South SD, when the traffic backed up, our total drive home was 5 hours, only 1-1/2 of that was Mexcio/border crossing.  Usually the border takes long, the rest is easy. 

Drew's cut is fully healed, just a tiny scar, which we're keeping covered from sunlight to avoid it discoloring. Katie is just fine, and only has a little bruising on her gum now. Hopefully no more owies will happen here for a while!

Beth received an invitation yesterday to go to a science fair at a Jr. College near us, tonight. Her school is bussing kids over and back. She wants to go with 3 friends.. <gulp> I said yes.  The basic idea is a bunch of labs are set up to be done, the kids are given directions and then "set loose".. Beth loves this kind of thing. I'm glad she gets to go.  I'll drop her off for the bus, Tim will pick her up, as I will be on my way back to Mexico, My aunt's memorial / celebration of life/ whatever you call it, is tomorrow afternoon. Dad and Brother and I are driving down tonight.  Hopefully it will be an easy drive.

everyone else here is good. we just keep plugging along with our crazy schedule. :o)
