Hope all the moms out there had a good Mother's Day.

I'd planned to paint my workshop shed, but my son called at 8:30 am yesterday to ask if I'd watch the kiddos while he & my DIL played golf.

Of course, I agreed. 😀 Being here and able to do things like that is exactly why I moved to be nearer.

They are typical little kids (4 & 2), busy, happy, with moments of whine/cry.

I loved it.

Damn. I used to feel pretty good about making a few little dough leaves to decorate the top of my pie.

@CinnamonGirlE

What a beautiful little girl. We often forget our parents were children once. Just as wonderous, and just as frightened at times.
Nice picture.

@Cosmichomicide

Thanks! Lots of blue drops moving here, so . . . maybe a lot more purple?

@CinnamonGirlE

As much as Marianne Williamson doesn't come across well with the (unfathomable) presidential runs -

she wrote a lovely bit about the dignity of living and working the 'normal' parts of life in her book, 'Everyday Grace.'

A wonderful way to think about the daily things we do that contribute to a serene and happy life for ourselves and our families.

@CinnamonGirlE

No matter what it's like, it can't be as batcrap crazy as Florida!

@WordsmithFL

Awww. . . Thanks.
Statesville, I think, is about a 4 hour drive?

@publickovacs

Thank you! I've already met several neighbors & was invited to play cards today. Not bad.

@LnzyHou

5-6 hours drive. But I'll go there, bc my brother lives there.

After facing the interminable length of Florida, a 5 hour drive seems like nothing.

Since last Monday - been in the process of moving to NC.

Finally getting settled here. Still chaotic, but in the house. Took a week to get internet - line to the house was corrupted.

Anyway, happy to be back among you. I like hanging out here for a few hours every morning. 😀

Had a family reunion of sorts a couple weeks ago. It was so much fun - BUT -

the best(!) part was learning that my previously born-again evangelical sister (who is no longer any of that) who is still a hard-right Republican -

all 5 (Five!) of her adult children are liberals/Dems now.

That made me soooo happy.

Good morning!

Great article this morning about the new broadband 'nutrition' labeling that goes into effect this coming week.

Finally - we'll know up front what the real costs will be when we pick one.

Gifting this.
