1. My birthday is next Monday?! Can't believe I'm one year closer to 50 !?!? Yikes!! Interesting how my body is showing my age but not my mind?! I think mentally, I'm stuck in my 30's, still?! Who wants to grow up anyway ??!!
2. Took Sarah and a her friend, Jenna, to the water park last Friday. It wasn't near warm enough for me to get in the water (it was around 75 degrees) but they got in the water anyway!? I decided to just read my book, but it soon started getting windy and cooler. I think the temperature dropped to 66 degrees and it started raining before they closed the park early at 6pm. Thank heaven. I think the girls would have stayed till it closed at 8pm. I was cold and cranky, but I got over it. The girls had fun!
3. Saturday, Sarah and I went with my Mom and Dad to Emmett, Idaho, to the annual Cherry Festival. Really nice little town and a nice festival. We stayed too long, though and I forgot my hat so I was getting hot sitting in the sun watching the entertainment. Now I know what to expect and how to prepare better for next year!
4. While there, Sarah decided to participate in the pie eating contest. Her age group, 10 - 12 years old, were givin half a pie to eat!? No she didn't win but she got free pie!!! Next year I'll enter in my age group, just for the free pie!! I love cherries!!
5. Tyler is keeping busy with friends and games.
6. Travis is keeping busy sleeping late and games.
7. We have company coming in Saturday night. My sister Wendy and her two sons from Redmond Washington !! They'll be staying with us!
8. Bobby is busy at work and getting ready for a big show this weekend in Idaho City where he will be selling his swords and knives. He took the camping trailer up there this evening. It's about an hour away.
9. I finally decided to buy a couple tickets for the Jonas Brothers Concert this coming Friday. Sarah is a big fan and I put it off for a long time hoping the concert would sell out. No such luck. So I figured I could tolerate the screaming minions for a few hours. I'll bring ear plugs.
10. Sarah reminds me of myself back in the '70's when I had a big crush on the Bay City Rollers (a briefly popular boy band for those of you less informed, or not born yet?!) I was able to go to their concert in San Jose with my sister Margaret. We even dressed like them!! HaHa! (Whatever happened to our outfits??) My Mom was smart enough to just drop us off!? The curious of you can find videos of the band on www.youtube.com.
Ya'll can stop laughing now ....

10 on Wednesday
1. I would be surprised if I come up with ten things today.
2. This month seems to be going real slow, but real fast, too.
3. I know that doesn't make sense ?!
4. We've been enjoying the cool temperatures and the rain that we have been getting most of this month !! It's been great, especially since I know what's coming !!? (100 degree weather and no rain, one of two things I don't like about Idaho. The other is the below freezing temperatures in the winter)
5. Sarah and Tyler keep busy with friends. Travis with his guitar and his video games and a friend now and then.
6. We did have a visit on Sunday from Cindy, Bobby's brother's oldest daughter, and her two children Arianna and Steve. They live in Oregon and flew in to visit with her Dad. It was nice to see her (it's been at least 12 years I think since we've seen her?) Her kids are adorable !!
7. Watched Star Trek V with Travis today. We are enjoying the Star Trek Movies. Soon we'll be into the "Next Generation" crew I think with Star Trek VII. They are not the greatest movies but they are always entertaining !!
8. Can't get anyone to see "Drag Me to Hell" with me ?!
9. Still not use to seeing ducks on my neighbors roof's!? There are a lot of birds around here !! Sometimes even the geese land on our roof's !! The cutest ones running around here are the Killdeers and their babies!! So adorable with their long skinny legs and tiny bodies !!
10. All out of thoughts .... till next time !!

10 on Wednesday
1. Kids last day of school was last Wednesday.
2. They are happy about it, but I'm not sure how I feel?! It's nice to not have to get up so early !
3. All our family trips have been delayed it seems by changes at Bobby's work. Now I'm shooting for just taking the kids to California to visit with family and friends. Just have to decide on dates. We are still planning to go to Colorado (Denver area) at the end of July for my nephew Corey's wedding.
4. Sarah is doing as much swimming as she can! The weather has been cooler recently but she still wants to swim !?
5. I took her and her friend Annie to the water park yesterday, a cool breezy day, but they had fun !
6. Tyler sold his smaller dirt bike on craiglist.org the other day. He wanted a bigger bike, so he found one he liked using craiglist and bought it! (with money he borrowed from us) He seems content for the moment !?
7. Travis' plantar wart on the bottom of his foot is still bothering him a lot, painful to walk. The foot doctor put more stuff on it last Thursday which is suppose to kill it and sluff it off?! If it doesn't work this time, he'll have it cut out, again. We are trying to avoid the cutting, because that takes a much longer time to recover from and it would prevent him from enjoying any water activities this summer and possibly keep him from participating in the 15 mile hike his scout troop is planning in July. (Chlorine pools are okay but no rivers or lakes - infection risk.)
8. I'm on a mission to clean out the clutter in my home this summer !? One corner,cabinet, shelf at a time !!
9. Bobby has been keeping busy at work and selling swords/knifes on weekends if he can !
10. He had good sales at the 1st ever Renaissance fair in Idaho this past Saturday. He's stoked !!
That's all for now !!
