3-2-1-BLASTOFF!!!


It's going to be a crazy 6 months, I tell you.

In May my son is getting married! However, I just found out the date they want to get married is also the date of my oldest daughter's college graduation. Luckily, I think the graduation is in the a.m. and wedding is in the p.m. and the two events will only be 1.5 hours from each other.

Then two weeks later, my 2nd oldest daughter and by-then-daughter-in-law will graduate from college, at the other end of the state. Luckily, they both go to the same college.

Then the week after that, my youngest daughter graduates from Vo-Tech.

Two weeks later she graduates from the "regular" high school.

One week after that my second oldest daughter gets married!
Then at the end of July, my son's wife will be blessing me with a grandchild!
To summarize, 3 graduation, 2 weddings, and 1 grandchild. Sheesh. I'm going to be tired, broke, and very happy!

I'm teaching my dog to play board games.

My dog plays Scrabble, but since she usually only knows 3 or 4-letter words like "arf", "bark", "woof", and "howl", she usually needs a little help thinking up 2-letter words. We let her use the manual now and then.






















She's really good at paying attention. I guess it comes from all that "watch dog" training.
















Although, sometimes she cheats and looks at my tiles!
