Some blogger I am

So it's been a month since I posted. So far this is going about as well as my journal keeping. I'm up far too late considering I'm supposed to be up for the Christmas bird count in the morning. I wonder if the ginger ale I drank at 10 p.m. had caffeine in it?

So I'm sleeping at 11:15 and the phone rings. The daughter-in-law of the couple across the street wanted me to check on them and call the hospital because they had received a call from some guy wanting to deliver medicine in the middle of the night. She just got out of the hospital today. Sure enough, the guy was legit but after standing outside for a half hour to make sure he arrived -- and left, I was wide awake.

Helped with an open house tonight for a girl from our church ward who was married last weekend. I look at these young couples anymore and see them from a completely different perspective. They look so YOUNG and full of hopes and dreams. At that stage in your life, you are so completely clueless about what all may happen to you in the next 30 years. It's pretty funny. If we did know, I guess we'd never get married or have babies.

I'm enjoying Facebook so much. It has been a lot of fun to reconnect with so many old friends.

I made mini key lime tarts for this open house tonight. They turned out spectacular if I do say so myself.

A friend from church came today to grind up all the stumps in our backyard from the 5 trees we took out for various reasons. I wish I'd been here to see it. It must have been amazing. All that's left is just a dirt spot in the front yard. Sure was a lot easier than digging and tugging like we did with the last stump. Now I just need to figure out what kind of trees to replant and where.

We're going to the Grand Canyon in two weeks, on a snap decision with our free tickets. I can't wait, it's going to be cold and cool! We're going to get to see those ancient Indian cliff dwellings too.
