Hello friends,
It’s Christmas week, and I have a VERY SPECIAL GIFT for you coming Friday. Make sure you check back here!
I wanted to update you on the happenings here before then.
Because, there was this last week:
In case you can’t hear them,
Three things, and three more things…with a lot of pictures
What. A. CRAZY. Week!
Are you still scrambling with the New School Year adjustments? Admittedly, no kids here, but my September is NUTS! I’m up early today, headed to the airport, on my way to Florida for a quick trip to do some remodeling on the house, and attend the annual NINC (Novelist,
When you’re grateful…
Can’t believe the month of August is over! What. Happened? Although in MN, we have One more Epic Weekend before the school year starts, in IOWA, where Bubby lives, her school started two weeks ago.
So we had one last week of Summer Fun at MayMay’s house. We went to the zoo, the park,
It doesn’t have to be over…
How is your summer going? Going anywhere fun on vacation?
Personally, I can’t believe our epic trip to Europe is almost over! We started on May 13th in Paris, travelled France, flew to Sicily, Italy to hang out with our new grandson and his parents, and then continued the fun with a tour of the island.
Oh, Baby!
So, first things first.
I’m a grandma. Again. It’s so fantastic.
And the best part is that right now, I’m in Italy with my son, Pete and his beautiful wife, Precious, cuddling my adorable grandson, Paxten Kevwe Warren.
Cool name, right? That’s because his middle name is a tribal name from Nigeria,
The truth about the cute!
Hey friends!

Heads up for the Great Pumpkin!
Happy Great Pumpkin weekend!

Friday Night Memories…
So, it’s Friday.
I know it’s been a while since we really chatted. I blame it on my son. And his beautiful wife. And these people, who helped me pull off a one-year anniversary party for them when they came home from Italy for a visit.
We may have built a huge patio and painted our entire house for the party,
Here’s the truth about my double identity…
You might not know this about me, (or maybe you do), but I’m a total addict of Secret Super Heroes. Like Superman, Batman and the Green Arrow. Give me a masked man…

I’d like to think I have my own secret identity.
So, there was this bunny…
We returned home from our epic five day drive from Florida yesterday. Twenty-six hours.

I get in the car and think…road trip!
