It was another beautiful day here today - high of about 70. But, and you knew there was going to be a but, some reports are calling for snow by Friday. Can't win for losin'.
Talked to my sister today. It was nice, but too brief. The kids capitalized on the phone time. I don't talk to my siblings as much as I would like to. We live too far apart to get together, and it always seems like phone calls get shunted off for some reason. Mom calls about once every week or two, so we usually keep in touch through her. The upside is that we can do some serious "catching up" when we all get together in the summer.
I told her (my sister that would be) that she should check out this blog, so I'd better post something nice about her. Hmmm... Hmmm... Nope, I got nuthin'. (just kidding, sis, you know I love you) Actually, she is one of the most creative people I know, and has a quirky side that helps me to look at things from a different point of view. Have her tell you the story of the quest for the Three Mile Island Coolant Tower Mug some time!
On another topic, my youngest daughter has discovered the joys of Mr. Potato Head. However, she is not of the age when she can put the pieces back in the container without prompting. And she has a tendency to scatter them throughout the house. It is a little disconcerting to walk into the dining room and find an arm lying in my path. Or to sit on the couch and discover a pair of lips and a mustache. Although, I guess the little plastic pieces are better than the real thing! Ah the joys of parenthood!
