Bear with me...this is a mini-hiatus :)

We are on the road.  Have taken a quick trip for about a week trying to cram in the sporting/artistic activities of some of the grandchildren.

We're in Kansas.  Got here Tuesday night.  Wednesday....started a project for daughter MJ which involved creating an entire new facade and hearth for their fireplace.  Natural stone/travertine hearth and travertine mosaic fireplace surround.   "Have trowel, will travel"...that's us!  Thursday...continued fireplace project.


Friday...baseball game - 5 year old grandson.  Also, finished the fireplace.

Saturday...soccer game - grandson  (he's amazing)...and in the afternoon, theater showcase for 9 year old granddaughter.  They did sketches from the Broadway play "Godspell".  It was really excellent.  That child has talent!

Sunday morning...leaving for Nebraska...horse show with 15 year old granddaughter.  Also baseball with 11 year old grandson.  Sunday night...dinner with old friends.  Tuesday...another baseball game.  Wednesday...school program for 5 year old granddaughter. 

Thursday...home.  Whew.  Will be back in circulation as soon as I can catch  my breath.

Sorry...gotta rush....

  10. Hi all...and thanks for all the comments. I actually planned to turn comments off on this post because it was simply to let you all know I hadn't fallen off the face of the earth - ha!

    So we got home last night. Will try to get back in the swing of things in the next day or so.

    Am so far behind reading my fave blogs, too. I can hardly wait to catch up on all of your comings and goings!
