My mother's birthday was yesterday....how I hope I look as good as she does at 63....DH says the same thing!!! We took her for dinner at Red Lobster and drank manhattan's and ate shrimp and crab and laughed and laughed. I sure wish my brother and sister lived as close as I do. It's a blessing.
We spent a very nice evening with our long time friend, Bill Lawton, last Saturday night. He is still just as funny as he ever was. He is working on finishing his bachelor's degree and I am super proud of him. It takes a LOT of guts, determination, time, effort and lots of other things to go back to school. He has a lovely family and I so happy I am still friends with him.
Now that the days are cooling down a little bit (well, if you call 96 degrees down to a high of 90 cooler!), it is nice to get outside and work in the yards again. It is just too hot in the high heat of the summer. I finally finished planting my knock out rose hedge...I ran out of mulch and so I need to finish that up. I am determined to move my hibiscus out of the front door. They are lovely, but really too big to be where they are. aaaa....such drama at the Household!
I started back with this Fall Session of my study group at church. These ladies are just a wealth of wisdom and knowledge. I am the only one with small children and they are all with grandchildren! I love to hear their stories and listen and learn from them. They are easily 20 years older than me and I just love to be with them. The study this fall is on the New Testament. The good Lord knows I need all the help I can get. DH told me one of his students asked him the other day why he believed in God. DH's reply was 'because the alternative is horrific!" Seriously, I think the student was looking for some great insight from the 'professor' and quite simply he said....really, I believe because I choose to believe. It's just that simple.
Life is good....

Cindy, I just found your blog!! We don't really use the Falcon address anymore. We use the bellsouth.net one. I'll try to send you an email so that you can update.
Bill is now on at least two blogs, how funny. Thanks so much for the neat basket that you had in the guys' Condo when they got there. He brought the wine to me. He doesn't drink so it is hard to determine when to open an entire bottle of wine around here. Maybe the night of Laura Ann's first birthday this Sunday. Maybe I could celebrate after she goes to sleep, one year of raising a baby girl.
I'll be checking your blog!

Hey guys! Glad to read your blog. I wish we could hang out every weekend! I had a blast talking with you, although I felt like I talked the majority of the time. Your laughing kept me going! Your commments on Sara P. are right on. I too was a weak supporter of Senator McCain. My only enthusiasm was against the "O" camp. You called it right, McCain made the right call to enthuse many of us! Bill
