Listen….Do you hear anything? Neither do I…except for the “click” of the keys on the computer keyboard. I am home alone and the house is so quiet! I thought it would be nice to have the house to myself for a change, but it is not all that great really. Especially late at night. I may enjoy it tomorrow when I am getting my house cleaned, but right now it is too quiet. (Actually, if I was in bed right now like I should be, I wouldn’t notice how quiet it is.) All the quys are at a Father/Son Retreat until sometime tomorrow afternoon. Tonight I actually watched a movie, uninterrupted, all by myself. I could cry if I wanted to, or talk to the characters without anyone saying, “Mom, it’s only a movie!” I will sleep to the quiet sound of no snoring and hopefully tomorrow will get lots of work done. And then, by the time my guys get home…I will be very glad to see them! I am sorry I do not have a picture to add to this post. I will have to get my son to show me how to add pictures that I didn’t take myself. Sweet dreams!

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to my dear husband’s new blog site: annfurthermore.com His life long dream has been to be a cartoonist. He has posted some of his newest creations on his blog and he wants lots of people to see them. They are quite cute actually. So, do me a favor (& him) and visit annfurthermore.com Oh, and leave him a comment of encouragement while you are there! Thanks!
Here I am with my dear husband at a ball in South Africa.
A Few of My Favorite Things
November 3, 2008 at 1:44 am (Family)
My four sisters took me to breakfast yesterday for my birthday. We always have such fun when we get together and Saturday was no exception! As usual, the birthday girl was lavished with presents galore. (Is that redundant?) Included in my “stash” were some of my favorite things: coffee, dark chocolate, and frogs. They were especially generous with the dark chocolate. If I didn’t know better I would think they are trying to fatten me up! By the way, did you know dark chocolate is good for you? I got a package of Dove chocolates named “Vitalize” that has “energy releasing B vitamins…plus plant sterols to help promote a healthy heart”. I should be really healthy by the time I finish eating all my chocolate. Which could take me at least 6 months. (Those of you that know me best will understand what I mean by that.) It was a fun morning and I took pictures to share with you. I hope you enjoy them.
Here we are at Cracker Barrel
YUM! (The little round chocolates are pomegranate.)
To add to my frog collection. (The one w/the crown is a card.)
The blue mug and the mug with the "P" I received from friends earlier.
Believe it or not, the pictures don’t include all the gifts they gave me. Like I said, It was quite a stash. I feel very loved and….I love my sisters!
