Like I forgot it could be that light in the house. We are back to basketball practice tonight. There has been no practices since December 15th and that has been nice. I remember one year about three years ago between that short time Christopher outgrew his practically new basketball shoes. I saved them as a souvenir. Shrugging - don’t know why. Kenya G.

I was only ever baptized due to military moves) We too just got our first dose of sunshine and blue skies in forever. The temps are biting but the sun is fabulous. Those 2 hours of reading and dozing must be heavenly.. Those 6 dental appts. Not so much..

Both of my kids have turned into sloths in the mornings, so I don't have to worry about one of them coming in and waking me up.

It's been raining solidly for three days, not that I should complain when so many in the north of the country are flooded and I'm cosy indoors, far from any floodplains, BUT STILL!<br /><br />I'm glad you're having such an enjoyable week. I think I need to take far more stock of things like 'read and doze' as high points - ones I get to enjoy - and stop worrying about all that I don't have (or have yet to achieve). Thank you for the reminder, and I hope you get to enjoy every last moment of the week :)Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-57233501160057163902016-01-03T00:21:20.553-05:002016-01-03T00:21:20.553-05:00Wow, 6 dentist appointments!Wow, 6 dentist appointments!Carin Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249991588609380053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-43421815698001513502016-01-02T22:25:45.651-05:002016-01-02T22:25:45.651-05:00OH, my gosh!

The weather has been diabolical here since the end of October, with rain almost every day and recent floods in parts of the UK, so to go anywhere at the moment would be madness.<br /><br />I had actually intended to be away camping for Christmas and New Year but even if the weather had been okay I wouldn't have gone for obvious reasons. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can pack the van up and get out there again.Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-24602805433157834252016-01-02T15:16:12.273-05:002016-01-02T15:16:12.273-05:00With the number of games we have or have had, I ca...With the number of games we have or have had, I can't believe the number that I've never heard of, but you found one!

My sister introduced us to it. It's a cooperative card game, where the goal is to organize the fireworks display before it blows up. The catch is that you can't see the cards in your hand, so your plays depend upon the hints the other players have been able to give you. <br /><br />Enjoy your week, and I hope that 2016 is full of happiness!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.com
