Don't fear the cowbell.........: January 2007

Pictures from Orlando

Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa!!!

(I learned that from my kids at Catholic School)

Here goes -

Asheville has had less winter weather than Dallas so far (last weekend it was in the upper 60's), although it looks like cold weather is coming later this week.

I have spent almost all of my free time since New Year's moving into the new house - and it is going very slowly so far - it seems like every day we find another place where the builder "cut corners" - so we have been painting the walls, re-staining the cabinets, sealing the grout on the floors and in the showers, etc. (sounds like fun, doesn't it - anyone want to hop on a plane and head over to NC to help ???).

My kids have already made a lot of new friends in the new neighborhood, so Bonnie and I hardly see them anymore (I guess we will have to get used to that) - but they are having a great time playing in the creek, and running through the woods (just like I did growing up).

I presume that you have all heard about the COG meeting - "By Invitation Only" - I keep checking my mailbox, but my invitation hasn't come yet - as it stands now, the next time COG will have a general meeting in Dallas is 2009!!! - we are still trying to figure out a way to make it there for either Spring Break or early in the summer.

By the way, despite my letter to the North Pole, Santa did not put a Cowbell in my stocking this year.

More soon - and also pictures (if I can get my camera to start working again).

OK, I am not going to post ANYTHING ELSE....

... until someone else makes a post.

So there.

Well, okay, I do have a couple cute new pictures of my niece. But OTHER THAN THAT, you guys are getting nothing until you start some blog action.
