Another Mom trying to keep up with my 3 Young Men(no longer boys) and remember all the great things going on in their lives. This is where I write my thoughts. If you want to read, go ahead, pull up a coffee. Lately it seems I talk more to and about the lawn furniture than the kids.
is coming to Canada, in 9days for a visit? I should warn her of the weather/seasonal uh confusion here. This is my side of Canada, May 16th at 8am...

The maples in front, note the extensive use of "ever greens" for GREEN ness?

Which living person do you most admire, and why?
My sister! She amazes me every day in all she does for her boys, no matter what is going on to her heart. When were you happiest?
I've been happy many times, it's hard to narrow it down to the "est". I think this is something I'll have to wait some more years to live and think about. I guess that means Stay tuned? What was your most embarrassing moment?
