Can socks be fun?

WT_....you might be asking about the odd title? Well, think about it, they keep our toes toasty, they can be a fashion statement of sorts, AND (drum roll please)............the grandkids think it is so cool to slide around on the floor with 'slick socks'! Yep, leave it to the mind of a child to remind adults of the fun of socks and hard wood (laminate too) floors. So D & R had a sleepover and I couldn't believe the giggling that was going on in my hall. D was shouting at R, "R, we have our acorns on and they are so slick on grandma's floor. Come on!" That was the sign for J and I to stay out of the way and D & R went whizzing by, back and forth and back again. Naturally I found myself sliding across the kitchen floor as I went about making dinner. We adults need to listen a little more closely to the young ones around us. They're sure to remind us of the simple pleasures of life.

Not much going on, work, work, and more work. Oh yes, only 4 more sleeps and R and I will be starting our first road trip - just the 2 of us. Yes, the great trip to the North Pole to visit Santa. Of course R wanted to know if there were any movie theatres in Fairbanks. Seems there's a new movie out he's wanting to see. Madagascar 2 (I think). D saw it early in the week with a group of her friends.

One more thing - I'm going to try to figure out how to update this blog a little more. It's a slow process. Guess I'm going to have to break down and ask SM for some help. I'll wait until this semester is over. I know she's buried in school work right now. (hint-hint SM....pencil me in on your calendar please....I need help). And just one more thing dear sweet daughter.....can you please (pretty please) load some Christmas music on my ipod? You know I'm challenged with that too.

Hope all is well with everyone. Keep warm!

Love you and miss y'all!

Notice anything......?

You got it...I'm finally breaking out of the mold here. I've been tired of the same background and general theme for some time but yet I had no idea how to change it. I've noticed several other blogs and how cool they look. You know, they just sort of pop! Well, this is step #1. I'll be taking this very slowly so that I don't delete the whole darned thing.

Stop back for more exciting updates! (OK, if you think this is exciting there is definitely something missing in your life!)

Love y'all!
