Thanks John! Your set up for me with a password and username works! Dave reports he too has to work Sunday, so we will miss yet another Hoot. Keep us in mind as you eat and drink yourselves into the outer limits! And big Happy Birthdays to Ann, Randy, Glenn and Molly!

It’s full time work for David and I, having all three kids living at home; wrestling Girl Scouts, shopping/cooking the South Beach diet way, and occasionally being a Pampered Cheftress. Seems to consume any and all time. I am not complaining too much, because truly, our family seems to be the best family we have ever experienced in this family’s life time. What a joy. The work part I could do with out…the time away from home that is (I actually still love my job.) I was going to blog something this afternoon but realized I don’t remember my password so help if you can. I was going to tell Taylor to reserve three candy bars for us. I work Sunday 8a-6p but Dave and the girls may be able to make it to the B-Day Hoot. Was also going to blog how exciting it is to read about Glenn/Kim’s success. Hope to make it to an open mic and to some of their gigs! And last but not least, was going to blog that it is Girl Scout COOKIE TIME!! Let Ali be your priest of GS Cookies! Taking orders now!
