Holy smokes! March 6th, 2008

This is beyond lame!!! I knew it had been awhile since I'd updated my blog, but not that it had been 5 months...tsk tsk. Now I'll try to remember everything I can.

For Halloween Deke ended up being a horse. He rode hard and ate his spoils almost as quickly as they hit his bag!

We spent Thanksgiving in Kansas. It was wonderful. The serenity truly rejuvenated my body and soul. The food was yummy and the time spent with family was enjoyable as always. Deke was able to play with his cousin Sammy. Watching them gave you the sense of how they'll be double trouble later in life...tee hee. Deke also got to spend time with his 4 yr old cousins, Woodley and Barrett. Those two showed the little ones how to take Deke's little Tykes tractor and jump the steps into the dining room. Jump forward 30 odd years and they'll be doing the same thing. Their dad, Cousin Matt (in his 30's) came up for the walk this year and aired up Deke's wagon tires and caught air going down the neighbors steep driveway.

At Christmas, Chase, Shirley and I headed out to Puerto Rico an came back New Year's eve. This was the trip Chase and I were going to go alone, but I need help and Shirley was more than willing to go along with us. The beaches were beautiful and the water was gorgeous, but to chilly for me. We went to Old San Juan and stayed along the main strip. Chase loved it and Shirley and I enjoyed ourselves. I've decide I want to be home or somewhere with snow for Christmas. Going to sunny destinations, just doesn't feel like Christmas. My guys gave me a beautiful platinum mother's ring. It's beautiful! They did a wonderful job designing it. It is similar to my engagement ring, so I wear it on my ring finger. Gorgeous!!!

Travel is becoming increasingly tiring. I don't want to fly ever again!

For Valentines we all shared cards and candy.

I'll work on catching up next week.

Smooches,
Ami
