Other highlights

To the left, you are seeing Brianna comb Ted's hair. Out of my 3 kids, they are the 2nd and 3rd (with Ted being 3 yrs. older). Ted & Brianna are very close. Brianna loves to tag along with Ted. It's nice to see your two kids so close. Hope it stays that way.

Brianna got ambitious and was cleaning again. You can't complain about a daughter who likes to clean, can you?

I taught my oldest son, Andy (shown above) how to ride a bike. I'm not going to tell his age because he should have learned years ago (no, he's not in high school). But it was a proud moment. He was really happy to finally learn. He got up, all happy and gave me a big hug. ice moment, good kid. Hope you like the pictures.

Life is good, yes, it's hard paying bills and we don't have the great American dream (a family, a house and a garage) but money isn't everything. & as Maribeth says there's a lot of unhappy people who are rich.

action & reaction

I deleted my post about being frustrated about my weight. Sometimes when you read what you write, it looks kind of pathetic. It's nice to have the delete key. It's certainly no less of a problem. But I am somewhat comforted with the fact that I am doing something about it. I do a lot more exercising than I was in the spring (or last fall & winter for that matter). It's a shame all this exercising doesn't translate into losing weight but I have no one else to blame; I need to stop eating so much.
