Snowy Saturday...

Yep, its true..it snowed today. Three inches on the ground as we speak. I actually had to light a fire tonight, and my daughter wore a turtle neck. It seems like summer is never coming! But, that is the joy of living up at the lake...you never know what the weather will do.

So, I want to thank you all for your kind thoughts about Chris's mom. We are saddened, but it was for the best. She was elderly and frail, and we find comfort knowing that she is in a better place and with Chris's dad again. His parents were married almost fifty years when he had passed away. I am sure that his mom is happy to be in her lover's arms again. She had a lovely life, and has beautiful children and grandchildren.

Anyway, so like I said earlier..I am behind. But, I am catching up. I will be posting Ask Andi later this weekend. As promised, the wonderful and talented Ed from Edtime Stories will be my co-author~I have to tell you all, that Ed is probably one of the most insightful people I have ever talked to. I trust his advice, and I am sure that you will all enjoy his insight as much as I do! So, anyone else that has questions, let me know. As promised, all will remain anonymous!

So I decided to do a 25 things about me post...The theme this time will be 25 things that I do not let everyone know about myself...but, you all get the scoop! So, dont make me go tag you...any volunteers??
