What's New

Haven't posted in awhile! I seem to spend all my computer time working on stuff for Bradbury Lane, which I enjoy doing! Pop Pop is finally starting to feel better - yay! Andrew is sick with bronchitus, that lovely illness that seems to recur annually once you get it the first time, and is coughing his poor head off and staying in bed resting (not! he's working of course...). I've been cooking him lots of good stuff! I cooked a "recipe" that Mom shared, that was really good - coated kale leaves lightly with olive oil, then baked at 325 degrees for 15 mins.... really good! Shannon and Jeremy are engaged, and I've seen her lovely ring (via an iPhone pic)... I believe they're getting married next summer - congrats!! I'm sure Shannon will plan a lovely wedding! It was great visiting Kevin and Rachel last weekend, for Kevin's 24th birthday! "The Dans" came, too, and we hung out downtown and ate at a cool little place called Wazoo's and looked around Lance Armstrong's bicycle shop, Mellow Johnny's. The Dans spent the night with K&R (and went out for some live music) while Andrew and I stayed at a Pricelined hotel nearby, then we all met for lunch at Chuy's before heading back home. The next day, we were greeted with wet carpet and a pipe leak under our foundation in our livingroom. $$$$ Then, sadly, Papa C had a fall and a visit to the doctor for stitches, and now has 2 black eyes... see Murr C's blog at http://www.circus24-7.blogspot.com/ Gong Gong started new heart medication for a leaky heart valve, but the doctor says the medication will work, and she is excited about golfing soon, and starting a vegetable garden with new friends in the retirement community where they live.

Happy Valentine's Day

Words can't describe what a wonderful man I am blessed to be married to! This rose is from the beautiful bouquet that he had delivered to Bradbury Lane, where I work!
