Forgive your enemies and love your friends ...

Excerpt from Turn Loose the Horses by Garrrett Hedlund

Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch them swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends

I love stuff like this.  I think it important to remember to seize the day and make yourself happy ... don't sweat the small stuff!    This has been a good week with homework and a field trip.  T turned 11, which seems very surreal.  He had his final Blue & Gold dinner and got his Arrow of Light...the first Boy Scout meeting.  It's been a little busy but we have treasured the moments and ready to take on the next week.

On tap for the next week ... a weekend get-away, Romanian food, SLEEP!!!

We are back ... after more than a year!

It is hard to believe that it has been so long since I have written anything on here, but there is no time like the present to get back on the bandwagon! :)
So what has happened in the last year? 

Not much of significance. We were able to take some great trips to see family, friends and beautiful places.  Talmage is now in 5th Grade and really looking forward to going to middle school next year.  He has decided that he wants to take some lessons to get better at the sports he enjoys so he can see how good he can get.  In case you are wondering, those sports are soccer and basketball.  I told him I would look for some clinics in the area that he can go to.  He is currently playing basketball in the township rec league but would like to try out for the travel team next year if he thinks he is good enough.  He is also considering travel soccer...

I will try to keep you all posted how those go.

My plan for 2011 ... Fix those things I don't like (that are under my control) and complete projects around the house.  The first item on the list:  Find an architect/interior designer to renovate the house.  I am SOOOOO tired of it.

Hopefully, by my next post, I will have movement in one of these areas.  :)
