Floating Biscuits

I can't say enough about this weekend. What a joy that we all love each other so much that any and all adventures are amazing. Everyone has brought up comments about this weekend and they all are so great....

My only disappointment was the leftovers from Dessert Wind brunch that Morgan so generously took care of, was floating in a puddle of water. Again, I was so over worried of the creamed gravy spoiling and insisted on putting the leftover boxes on ice that of course, ice melts and water then can leak into the non waterproof containers! Not a pretty sight seeing floating sausage, parsley and worst of all gravy. The special treat I was so looking forward to "sconey" was saturated. Bummer.

This did bring back not so pleasant memories of when Sheri and I were little girls and she always the dish washer and I the drier....we often had "hamburger gravy" on mash potatoes and the smell of it in the yucky, dirty dish water was enough to make you heave up the marvelous and tasty dinner we had.

So all this means is....I can hardly wait to go back there again for brunch.y

is this fair?

how is this right???? I see a colorist every 8 weeks but still wake up with not only my period, but two zits on my right cheek? Shouldn't one cancel out the other...its hard Barbie being 37!

family

last night having dinner with our family (unfortunately without Charley, Morgan or Tyler) but including Jordan was such a lovely evening. It made me miss the times that I had with my brother. Denny and I were always so close and I can't count the times I we bailed each other out of situations. I didn't realize how much Jordan looks like my little brother....perhaps some day he'll want to get together.

I do hope we can include Jordan in some of our family functions as she fit in so easily and such a bright, beautiful young adult.

Another try..

Well, I'm starting the day in the most positive way possible...Charley just left for work, I'm drinking coffee, looking at cats on-line and getting ready to visit MOM. Funny thing I wouldn't have even thought about bring flowers to her, thank you Charles for remininding me. I guess I need to think of something besides darkness when I think of my trip back up to Harborview.

Oh well, they day can only get better and end lovely with all my girls and I'm so looking forward to seeing my niece Jordan after so many years.

what a day...

this is putting it mildly...I should say what a past three days.

My patience, tight jaw, short temper, gentleness, compassion, creative four letter words have all been to a major test. All is well with Grandma in that she had her surgery and hopefully will stick to the plans the doctors have for her without too much drama. But forget the part of this that I thought would be crazy to the real crazy part...whats with Harborview Hospital (or as Charley calls it Harborzoo)...I think his name for it is a bit more correct.

What's with the random people eating my left over food! If I knew that would happen, I would have left more of it and not use so much tabasco! This "garbage" food was snapped up quicker than if it was left outside for the crows. I feel really bad for these people, but sadly it was one of the highlights of my day as I'm talking to Sheri and describing what was currently happening to my last two bites of cheeseburger!

What a day and I'll be back there again in a couple of days...perhaps I won't eat anything?

Surprise

okay, so I'm a little late at joining the party. By a bit of presure and feeling a bit left out, I now after a couple cups of coffee, finishing a book and sitting on my front porch listening to the birds, have decided to "blog."

What a day this is starting out. My Taylor is again moving out. I'm so proud of her is so many ways and so happy that her and Dave are happy and adventuring out. Last time she "moved" was in August to London and I cried and sulked...now once again. My poor children who have put up with me on this issue. It took me a year and a half to quit crying on Sundays when I dropped Morgan back off at school and that was just and UofW!!! I love my girls so much.

So off to make Taylor her favorite breakfast burito and packing the car to help her move.
