Book signing, visit w/family...

I'm not doing a very good job of keeping up with my blog.

Had a busy weekend with family. My niece, Lenore and her husband, Daniel were here visiting from Germany. They came over on Friday night, along with my brother & sister-in-law and my best friend, Melody. We had a really nice evening of snacks and chats!

Saturday was a fun day! Daniel did a book-reading and signing at Watermark Books for "Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten" -- the first book he's illustrated. Lenore was his Vanna White - showing the illustrations as he read the book.


We had a lot of fun, and several friends and family members purchased books and got them signed. Daniel also did a buffalo illustration inside the cover for everyone! Here is Westley, the son of a co-worker as he watches Daniel draw in and sign his book.

17 of us went out to Abuelo's afterwards to celebrate! Mom enjoyed the afternoon and evening!

Sunday, Kaitlin and I met Lenore, Daniel, Nick, Terry & Sandy at the Warren Theatre and saw "The Town" with Ben Affleck (who also directed). It was a very well done movie.

I've been on vacation Monday and Tuesday, getting things done around the house. Took mom to the doctor yesterday afternoon for her regular 2 month checkup. She fell returning to Presbyterian Manor with Marilyn on Sunday evening and banged up her cheek and got a cut from her glasses above her eye. She's a bit stiff and sore, but thankfully didn't break any bones.

Me and my friends at the Kansas concert with the WSU Symphony. Melody, Chris, Susan and me...we had a blast!

Lousy pic of Kansas. I need a better camera.


Cats chilling on a cool, fall day. They love Kaitlin's new blankies!

One of the reasons I love fall is because I burn tons of scented candles.

Everyone has been talking about how good Honeycrisp apples are, so I bought one - just one - at Dillons the other day. That one apple cost me $1.54 because it was so huge! See how it stacks up next to a Gala? But it was DELICIOUS! Corby and I split it and we both agree, it was worth the money!

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...
