We don't follow racing at all, I know nothing about Nascar (I thought Danica Patrick drove nascar, LOL!), but you're right - driving one is fun regardless.


My DH is a Nascar fan and I watch the races with him. The poor guy listens to how I pick my driver, goes over who's who and who is driving what so I know who I am rooting for, and will tell me which driver I like when I forget, and always with a straight face. My oldest came to watch he Daytona 500 with us and my BIL. Donny does not watch racing and still could not understand how Buddy deals with 500 laps and me. I told him he should hang out her when football season is on

. 28 years and Buddy is still trying to explain "downs"
Hey all quick evening check in...I am waiting for Ross to get out of the shower and say goodnight to him. I hope he can sleep tonight, he is so excited about math and science camp.
Karate went really well today considering he couldn't fight and his left arm was tight from the stitches in his chest.
He placed 4th in kata and tied for 4th in weapons. He was sore when we left that is for sure!
Nancy--Is everything Ok? You sounded sort of so-so in your post.
Kris will eat good ole cookie crisp when he gets in, sugar cereal is his "tuna sandwich"
Wow, Ross has a lot going on! How is he feeling?
*******************
I'm fine. I have been trying to catch up on a lot of chores that I have fallen behind in and still get Kady to her summer camp and back, then help Buddy on the farm. One day I had to leave the house 4 times! I am not really good at stopping and starting so I was edgy trying to get things done but I hate to miss a day here.

If I bought sugar cereal for Buddy he would kiss my feet

Since the Dr put her foot down about his cholesterol my poor guy has been eating high fiber cereal, Gnu bars, and oatmeal for breakfast. T
DH passed the test today and is going onto the next stage with that city, too! =)
We also got word from our friends that they received extensive reference sheets in the mail today to complete about him from the other city - which is good news. It means they are still considering him.
Aimee- WOOHOO for your DH. I'll keep him in my thoughts until he gets that job
Yes, he's still coaching ans playing for the Knights summer league(they played 6 games already this week since Thursday), it's been keeping him real busy. His "friend" is doing well, she's such a sweetie!
It sounds like he is having an awesome summer!
Sorry my London trip report is so long in coming. I left my notebook with all my details at my dad's house, and am waiting for him to send it up to me. I'll try to post some pictures to whet your appetites.
Take your time, it is going to be worth the wait
Yes, I made two kinds of chicken. I bought flounder for dinner and my Dad was complaining...because on the most-mysterious "triology diet," he had already eaten flounder this week. So, I cooked up the chicken I bought for us to eat during the week...whatever

Caili did an AWESOME job at her competition yesterday. My parents were so impressed at how much she has improved, and I was incredibly proud of her. She was proud of herself too. She ended up getting third place (out of four), but I was very happy with that because she skated so well. Today, her team beat the book and took first.
Here's a picture of her in her medal and the costume I designed for her:
And, as promised, here is a picture of the giant sundae Liam, Caili and I shared. It is chocolate, coffee, and coconut almond chip ice cream with hot fudge, strawberry and butterscotch sauces. We didn't finish it.
My goodness, she is precious! I am glad that the team beat the book. I am still having a hard time with the book thing, cannot ever get how a book can beat kids

It is amazing how much happens in the course of one year, isn't it?
Now as to that sundae! YUMMMMMMMMM!

Are we sharing a mother somehow?!? My mother has spices in her pantry that are so old, they are still in the tin boxes. And she still has walnuts in her freezer from before I was married to my first husband (our wedding was in 95).
I'm going to confess before Marisa and Erica get here. I have issues tossing things and my refrigerator is no exception so when Jeff decided to clean out condiments to make room he was freaked out by some jars. They were cold, had always been cold and so I thought that they were fine. Not him. Oh no....no out of date duck sauce for him or Marisa or Erica. Now they are worse than the fridge police....checking checking checking Dinner tonight is grilled swordfish for Buddy and me, grilled turkey cutlets for the girls. I'll have baked potatoes, a veggie of some kind and maybe a salad. I was thinking of looking for a cucumber salsa for the fish, I thought I saw one a while ago that looked good.
Have a great day all!
