homefront update 1/20/08

Hi all lovies from the SA homefront. It is Texas coldy here 40's and so Winterscape/Christmas music onlline fills my kitchen. I love it!!! Dad says I am in major pyro mode with all my candles...but you have to burn them before it's 90 all the time! Cold weather has also brought our lovely friends from Ratatouille in the garage and upstairs. We sat 6 traps 2 hours ago and I notice the one on the water heater is on the floor behind it. I'm leaving it for bravemen(birdmens) and the pooper scooper team!!
Abby and John discovered their furnace does work..yeah. It is warmer in that valley thank goodnes. Understand from the phone call today my favorite son in law was written up famously in the paper for his organic endevours. So proud.
Anna is back at the BU and getting in the groove. So is Justin, the graduate,,hmmmmmm. I hadn't really put it together until tonight when we were talking about Grandma Dorsey's boyfriend, but who thinks maybe this is her baddddd influence????
It's SOMEONE's BIRTHDAY this FRIDAY!! Not too late to get a card in the mail today! Such a wonderful natal day that was when the t-bird landed in our nest. Dad and I were so excited and she was so cute(still is) and Abby was delighted to have a sister(still is)
Looking ahead towards March 6, 7,8,9 for beach/valley time. Let's keep moving that direction for plans as all can. Dad will be in a course in Indy so just us girls, John/Jack....possibly or not Mema.
Our minister preached a very powerful sermon around global warming, lack of water and hunger in the world. I thought he must have had some coaching from the Mennonite brethern. It was quite good and motivating...some great film usuage to motivate with scriptures.
Speaking of footage I heard the Lammie did some great film, all heart as Lammie is. Will be praying for your weeks. Thanks for the loving phone calls.

uh, so this is just a thought....

So since i was thinking that since we don't live close to each other anymore (or not really close) that maybe we could give this blog a little shot and then people could sort of post about their lives with little pictures and mommy can post her little updates and so on...so i'll go first.
Life is good, but lots of work between school and work. I like my house and my roomies and two weekends ago we all went camping and rafting so here is a picture of us:)

this is us being scary...i know it looks like i don't have on a costume, but i'm a loans collector- i look like a normal person, but actually i'm terrifying...my badge says "i'm here to collect"
