Yes, it can be. I am blogging! Every time I blog it's an event, isn't it? It has been almost a month and I am finally posting. I should be asleep 'cuz I am very tired, but hey, I haven't gotten my internet quota for the week in and the week's almost over. What did we ever do before the internet?
Work has finally slowed down, thank goodness. Perhaps a bit too much, but I'll take the break. I don't think it will last long.
David has been having fun tearing apart the old trailer in our driveway. It was falling apart and his sister Kailien gave us a better one, so it's all good.
David and I have been cleaning up the house. Spring cleaning. I will be glad when it's done - but then, it's never REALLY done, is it? Maybe under control is a better way to put it.
Cameron and Jarom have been working on state reports for Quest. Cameron is doing Tennessee and Jarom is doing Texas. They didn't get to choose which states, they were assigned. Amber quizzed me all morning about state flowers, birds and trees. She thought it was funny that Delaware's state tree is the American Holly. Probably because she has an aunt named Holly. I couldn't figure out any other reason. Cameron found out that Tennessee's state flower is the iris. He was excited about that because it's his grandma's name.
We went to Heart of Hunter since my last post. I blogged it wrong - it was really in April, not May - oops! Only half as many people showed up as last year, but it was just as noisy. Sadly, the people did not quiet down for the performances. The kids were so cute and sang their hearts out. No smoke alarms this year. The Jazz Band was last on the program and 75% of the crowd had left by then. I guess everyone left as soon as their child performed. They should have had the Jazz Band play first - they were loud enough to drown out all the crowd noise.
Amber's Abravenel Hall Concert happened last Tuesday. The kids were cute, but it was a rather long show. Fourteen schools performed, 2 songs each. Probably 300 elementary school kids from Beaver performed. I can't believe they travelled that far to sing 2 songs! Amber's group sang "It's Ruff Being a Dog" and "Love in Any Language." I won't say more than that, because I don't want to give away what they did - just in case any of you want to attend Amber's May 28 concert. Yes, there REALLY is a concert on May 28 at 6:30 pm at the elementary school.
Meagan has been sewing up a storm lately. She sewed herself a totebag and then made one for me. She's also sewed a quillow. She's quite the seamstress! Everything she makes turns out really well.
I gotta say, I went to mom and dad's today and had some very good food. Sheri made a yummy vegetarian meatloaf and Becky made an awesome pie. I'll have to get the recipes for them both. It was also fun to see everyone.
Well, guess that's about it. Gotta go read scriptures and climb into bed.
Goodnight y'all!
BTW - did you see the comment on my last post? Nice comment, but I don't get it. Somebody in Brazil who sells notebook computers reads my blog? It's a small world after all?
