Seeing a 'wall' JC built with duplos
seeing UE actually connect two duplos (mostly luck)
Seeing a 'Y wing' GMC built wiht duplos

and embarassing enough..building a pyramid complete with sarcophagus, misc 'food' and tools for the dead, ancy door that actually goes in and out, and 'sphinx' to guard it, with their help, out of duplos......next time I want to add a 'secret room'

I stayed up late last night baking. I was alone in the kitchen everyone was sleeping upstairs. I had country music on the radio, good smells, warm kitchen, and I was alone with my own thoughts.

It felt so good to be alone for a couple of hours just baking and listening too music!!

I love going in (to my catering business) early to prep with the music way loud, before anyone comes in.

Watching my younger son throw his first pass yesterday at QB which resulted in a touchdown for his team. Absolutely priceless!!!! And, I did get this on tape because I impulse bought a new camcorder, so glad I did.

Last night, we took our drinks and ice, over to the spec house my husband is building, so we could watch the sun set over the mountain.
That was beautiful and in addition, we got to see a bear come into the yard to pick berries. (only wish the house had the garage door put on)
