okay
Im late to this one (for reasons Id happily whine your way about…except you have six more than I do so I think I shall NOT ) but Im so focused on the game picture I had to comment.

Im sure youve seen the myriad studies about game nights and family meals producing children who are just HEALTHIER.
Happier.
More crammed with selflove and selfesteem.

you ROCK as a mom.

You can never go wrong with a lot of lego playing. Never.

I did a bunch of housie things this weekend (curtains, painting) as it helps combat the winter grays. Also firelight helps. A dear picture of your family! .-= Larkspur´s last blog ..Perfect 10 Update =-.

Congrats on the award! The pic of your family is so precious. I love watching old couples out holding hands too. I'm so emotional and nostalgic that sorta things almost brings a tear to my eye when I see it. .-= josie´s last blog ..Calusa Bug Chase 5k Recap =-.

Hehe–yes, definitely a misconception that CA never gets rain! It’s fun to dream though

I am not used to 2010 yet, either. I am not even sure how I prefer to say it! “Twenty-ten” or “Two thousand ten”? Not sure yet.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and the gray weather clears out soon!

We have not seen the sun in more than 10 days here in Indiana. I hate winter and gray days. Today after church the sun was almost visible behind the clouds. My husband and I moved back here 25 years ago to be near family and I have never regretted anything as much in my life. Now we are stuck here until retirement and I have fears that I will never get back to a sunny climate. My advice to anyone who hates winter – do not move to that climate no matter what the other advantages are. I live with a light box to help relieve my SAD but it is never enough. Luckily my children all have chosen to go to college in more southern locations and will not be coming back to Indiana so I will not be trapped here by that.

Yup, Diane, I hate the rain & it has been BAD here in southern CA this past week!! More expected this Monday night into Wednesday morn again! Although I do love the pic of you all together around the table!

Congrats on those awards.. greatly deserved!!!!!! Love your list! Maybe my hubby & I can be part of the old people that still hold hands! And you do so make a difference in other people’s lives!

I was so lucky that the rain stopped for my outside jog today!

Have a great one!

Great about those awards, Diane. you more than deserve them!

When I was a camp counselor, nothing seemed longer than when trying to keep my kids entertained during a rainy day
