Saturday hangin'

We've had a good day. Started out the morning by visiting with mom. She was excited because my older brother Terry had picked her up last night and taken her out to his house. She got to see my sister-in-law's grandchildren, and had a great time. It's always nice to visit mom when she's in a good mood! Apparently my brother and his family had visited Tanganyika Wildlife Park and now mom wants to go there. I've been wanting to go there too, so we'll probably take mom in September when it cools off a bit!

We had to stop at Walmart too, and pick up a few things. I bought a new CD - Train's "Save Me, San Francisco". It is really good. But the CD I've really been enjoying is actually done by a group here in Wichita - the Mudbugs Cajun & Zydeco Band. One of their members, Jaime, works at the Eagle, and I got their CD from her on Thursday. It is awesome! Really makes you want to get up and dance!

We did our grocery shopping at Dillons, picking up their specials. Grocery shopping is a bit more expensive since Kaitlin is at home now, but that's okay. We're sure enjoying her. Kaleb headed home yesterday morning, and we enjoyed having him home for almost a week. I wish Brandon could have spent more than a couple days at home, but he's the big "intern" now at his summer job, so had to go in on Monday. I can't believe he's going to be a senior at K-State in just over a month!

My current book is Karen Kingsbury's Take 4 - Above the Line series. This is the final book in this series, and I'm really enjoying it. I should finish it later tonight or tomorrow. I almost picked up "To Kill a Mockingbird" today at Walmart. It's the 50th anniversary of the book. I do intend to buy it and read it again. I haven't read it since high school, though I do love the movie with Gregory Peck!

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...
