My Life #758654654

Hello to all! Life is going pretty good. I am so grateful for all the good things in my life. My husband, kids, family, friends, job, home and county! This winter has kicked our family's ass illness wise - poor Ben has had strep throat, Grace and I had a 24 hour bug earlier this month and Grace has had a flu since Wednesday! Poor little bugger! The kids had doctor appintments on Tuesday (while I was in NYC for a work meeting)> They are growing fine - BOTH are only 10 inches shorter than me! YIKES - I better eat my wheaties. Its still cold here - suprise suprise! 19.4*F Poor Sparky! We should have named her Dixie - she is from Tennessee - and ehe HATES the cold. Outside for her business only and then directly back inside by the woodstove. Sometimes I think she is going to climb into the fire she gets so close... School vacation was good. The kids didn't want to do anything but veg out - they really are my children. They did go to Jokers with the Rec department and hung out at their Grammy's a day or two and got spoiled - so that had a good time I went to NYC - WOW. Haven't been there since 1988 - Park Ave, Time Square, Theater District - We had work meetings at Colgate, went to the Letterman Show (2/19/07) and had dinner at Carmine's - Also went to ground zero - and although its still a construction site - I cannot expainn - I just silently cried. The photographs are amazing and moving. I really can't say more. Its similar to the Alfred R Morrow building in Oklahoma City, OK I went there alone and had to sit down to cry- and if you have not been there - Go - we grow our own you know.... Well, gotta go - have a great week. PEACE. JESS
