Our weekend at Lake Tahoe

More Fairytale Town

 

We have been here more times this year than any other years combined. This time it was a field trip with preschool. It's always a great time.

Did You Know. . .

In honor of Earth Day

What does he REALLY do?

In the past couple of months Richard has been very busy. But here are some of the things he's been busy with.
He had dinner with the Gov. of IL in the governors mansion.
He met with the Senator of IL, (not B. Obama) Dick Durban for a few hours in the US capital.
He's been asked to sit on the Chamber 100 (top 100 chambers in the US).
He flew around on Air Force 2 (the first lady's plane) for a few days with the Air Force Reserves visiting Coco Beach, FL, Cape Canaveral, and Dayton, OH.
He met with 4 congressmen for several hours discussing new legislature.
and he had lunch with the president of the US, George Bush, along with 150 of his closest friends.
I really had no idea this job was going to be filled with such monumental experiences.
Nevertheless, he has yet to obtain tickets to the Oprah show. Yes folks, she is harder to reach than the Pres. of the US.

Little Fakers

It's always amazing to me how siblings can be so different. Here's an example. One of my children often tries to fake sick in order to stay home from school. Another of my children has been faking well for three days in order to be able to GO to school, assuring me daily that she feels fine. I finally figured it out and forced her to stay home on Friday. Can you guess which child is which?

My iris bouquet

 

This is the bouquet I made from the irises growing in my yard. There were so many this year and some were falling over, so I cut them and made this beautiful arrangement. I love it and I love the weather that makes this possible.
