For Today

Outside my window...beautiful flowers and tomato plants

I am thinking...I really should spend some time organizing and straightening up my scrapbooking area

I am thankful for...my wonderful husband and kids. Corby is thoughtful, kind, helpful, sweet, strong, a great cook, and just a great person. Brandon is wonderfully kind with a big heart; Kaleb is funny, witty and sloppy; and Kaitlin is beautiful inside and out and very thoughtful. And they are all three smart, good with money and MINE!

From the kitchen...Corby is getting ready to fix us breakfast for dinner. Yummy!

I am wearing...black khakis, a sweatshirt (it's cold in the basement) and flip-flops.

I am creating...a scrapbook of my Keith Urban concert pictures.

I am going...to Manhattan next Saturday. Time to move the kids on to the next chapter of their lives.

I am reading...Black Hills by Nora Roberts, one of my favorite authors.

I am hoping...that the twins adjust easily to college life, and that all three kids find good, well-paying jobs that they like when they graduate from college.

I am hearing...Corby's baseball game on TV, Brandon's drums on Rock Band, the washer & dryer, and Cinnamon barking.

Around the house...there are a lot of dirty clothes sitting in laundry baskets waiting to be next in the washer.

One of my favorite things...relaxing with a good book each and every day of my life!

A few plans for the rest of the week...working Monday through Wednesday, then vacation until the following Wednesday. We will be going through Brandon's household items that we packed up in January to figure out what things the kids still need to buy/get before they head to Manhattan. Then we will spend Thursday and Friday packing them up and moving them on Saturday.

And a photo to share...Tuttle Creek State Park just north of Manhattan

I love that ... "For Today" ... in fact I made my own paper journal with those same prompts last month since I don't have a blog. I changed the "photo to share" to "a memory to share" since a photo won't fit on my page. I made my book 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Anyway, it helps me get more written. I'm not as good at writing as you are.

Anne, that's a great idea for a scrapbook page. I'm really hoping to do a lot more scrapbooking and stamping when the kids leave. Did you win anything at Sandy's party last Saturday? I was bummed I couldn't go...

I did answer your question earlier in the day but must have forgotten to do something, as it didn't post.
There were only 5 (I think) at Sandy's on Saturday. Everybody won a prize for every time their name was in the pot. It was fun.

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
