Ah Ed you're not around much anymore...but, I guess I'm not either :(. I hope you are well.

Congratulations Lessie, what a sweet little blessing in your life. What fun, I can't wait to become a grandma too.

Thanks Coop. I see Jack wore his smart spectacles to host the new Smart Home . I have a pair too--now if only they would make me as smart as I look, I'd be sitt'n pretty at the very top of the deans list.

Ha ha ha, these are the kinds of things that come out of my brain when I'm stressed. Just ramblings of an over-worked, over-stretched, under-paid mother.

How smart is my home?? Well it couldn't be too smart since it hasn't figured out how to pay itself off yet! I really don't think that would be asking too much. Self remodeling would be nice too. I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

When it comes to landscaping you are only limited by your imagination.......or HGTV's ideas .....and then everyone else's imagination. I guess we aren't limited at all. THEN WHY THE BUCKETS OF SLIMY SNAILS DOES YOUR YARD LOOK LIKE THAT CAMI??

This can't be right.... Is it? I thought this sweeps usually lasts until June. April 11th--May 5th??

California Poppies, California Lupine.... Well I'm certain the white flower is???

Are those poppies I see? Hmmm, I feel sleepy. I don't think we are in Kansas anymore Toto....but I can't be sure we are on our way to see the Wizard in the Emerald City either, since those are California's Poppies.... Oh Wizard you are a sly one....

I can't believe we are still stuck on these rocks. I think the only way to get off these rocks is to rock the boat a bit. Ready?? Ok, back and forth, side to side, up and down..no no no, you go up when I go down, you go left when I go right..hmm, (Cami scratching her head) I think the only thing we are doing is making waves. Mary, do you have any solutions? We've tried everything from paddling, to jumping up and down, we just aren't getting anywhere. Oh Mary can you hear us? Hmpf, she's probably safe on shore around the next bend, squirting cheese on her crackers purposely oblivious to our predicament.
