Quick update:

Been working a lot….my boss had family emergency so I have been working more hours and I’m tired.  I can’t seem to figure out how to keep up with my real life.

Have a bluebird society meeting tomorrow night and not really ready for it, but that’s the way it is!  I’m taking a habitat steward class on Thurs nights, learning a lot about creating backyard wildlife habitats.

Dan and Jamie are gettting along well…they got to hear the baby’s heartbeat last week!  I am still so amazed.  Wowee.

Rob is doing pretty good but don’t hear much from him.  Hoping to go out and see him but I have no idea when.

Still need to submit my count for the Great Backyard Bird Count.  On the day I was doing it at home, it seemed like the birds knew it and I had quite a bird party going on in the back yard.

I’m going to try to give up desserts for the next 40 days.  I need to and it will be good for me in every way.  This a challenge for me!

Today my nephew Ryan is 25 years old.  He was born on the due date of my first pregnancy, which I miscarried in 1983.  After I started having some trouble I found out I was carrying twins!  Although I lost them, I still think about them and hope they are waiting for me, along with another baby I lost when Dan was about 2.  Ryan’s birthday always reminds me.  Ryan’s mom Carol has been very sick in Florida, but is finally in a rehab center and recovering slowly.

       for the LORD has been good to you.” Ps 116:7
