Summertime 2022
I know – it’s been a bit. But I am alive and kicking, and enjoying summer pool time, along with Chloe … So, to hit some highlights over the last few months: Our oldest son graduated from law school, and is presently in VA for tax law. Our youngest (the twins) turned 25, and we …
A Lot to Report …
OK – running through the list since my last post. Last week was wonderful, with pool days every day! Got through a steady ER-nursing weekend, with a bit of a twist. Our youngest daughter came up to see me and inform she was heading back to Ghana for a ‘short visit’ (3 wks). She left …

Week-DAY wrap up – Summer Birthdays ….
So, I had 5 kids today – as I casually pointed out to the husband … “you’re acting like a child!” – and he agreed !! Alright buddy, what do you need? A nap, a time out … what??? Meanwhile, we got through our photo-shoot with pups! Some cute pics, despite the ‘number 1 child’ …
