IT'S A QUIET WEEK
It's a quiet week in woebegone Lakeland. I'm doing less than I should but more than I want to. Mainly I'm trying to get ready for my vacation to the north for a month and getting psyched up for it. I always end up with lots of last minute stuff to do before a trip and I am trying to circumvent that this time. We will see how well I do. Today I have paid bills and shredded--there is always stuff to shred.
My son called me on his way home from the airport today. He and Cheryl had arrived back safely having had a wonderful time. I look forward to hearing about it face to face. The children were all in Chicago along with their father and had an enviable weekend together. My son-in-law returned to Chicago yesterday from a long ride on his BMW with riders from their riding club who went to a rally somewhere in New York state. It was his first really long ride and I guess he was pumped when he got home. He and Natalie will ride together for a week to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the end of August. I may go to Chicago to house/dog sit for them during that time. My youngsters have so much fun.
This weekend Natalie, Amanda and friend Amber are meeting in Logansport IN to do a decathlon--Nat rides the bike portion, Amanda swims and Amber runs. I think they took first place last year in their division but they claimed not to have much competition. They may have to work harder this year. I am glad that they have so much fun doing physical stuff. I never learned to enjoy that. I believe that they are doing the same thing for a competition in a couple of weeks in Chicago.
As can be seen, I wouldn't have much to write about were it not for my children. My mother-in-law, God rest her soul, had a saying that she loved. It was: "Every old crow thinks hers is the blackest." I think she probably said that to me one time when I was bragging on my offspring. I have certainly proven that old adage to be true. I think that I have also proved my boundless love for my children. As I have often said, "They are the very air that I breathe." God bless all of them. I love being a Mom. It is the greatest accomplishment of my life, undoubtedly. Thank you, God, for the privilege of having such a wonderful family.
Hey, anybody out there reading. Have a great day. Feel the love.

(Rosie and I are watching "Wheel.") I am a crow too -- Wilson of the Windex commercials. (The one who crashes into the freshly Windexed glass.) Pretty nice crowlets, aren't they?
