Got my dad through the operation and in to re-hab. Thank goodness my sister was here, she was such a help. It was really fun to see Ryan. Dad's spirits are really good. That makes him much easier to deal with. Soooo.... we are off to market. AGAIN!! Leaving the house and the pets in Jen's hands. (and the office!!) I'll check in when we return. I'll miss my little ones!!

WOW!! What a great trip. I think Kerri and I fell in love with New York City. I'm sure there were some out there that didn't think two women could find there way around but not a problem. We maneuvered the subways and crammed as much as we could into the short time we had. Our hotel was wonderful with a great restaurant. We enjoyed room service the first night. We saw the Statue of Liberty and Battery Park, ground zero, Macy's and Herald Square and of course Central Park which was a wonderful surprise. I really didn't know what to expect and it was beautiful. We hit the town on Saturday night an had an amazing dinner at an upscale steakhouse in Rockefeller Plaza. I highly recommend it. Then it was time for the show and it was fantastic. All in all a perfect trip. Unfortunately while I was gone, my Dad fell and broke his hip. He had a replacement yesterday and now we begin a whole new chapter. He made it through the operation, we'll just take a day at a time.

Well, we're off to New York City in the morning, just my daughter and me. We may come back and then again we may have so much fun that we'll stay!! I'm sure New York will never quite be the same. Should be a memory making trip. See you all when we get back.

We just celebrated our beautiful daughter's 30th birthday. " Beautiful" describes her inside and out. She is someone that loves her family and her God. Her smile really does light up a room.
Sorry, I'm sounding a bit like a hallmark card, but I really am proud to say that she is my daughter. I was blessed when she entered my life and I cherish every moment I have with her. Kerri, thank you for all the joy you have given me. I love you with all my heart, you are truly beautiful!!

i just returned from a very dear friends funeral. Her footsteps go back a long way in my life. I have never been so inspired to keep the faith and do all God asks of me while on this earth as I was when I left this service. She was a true friend and I am glad I knew her but the service that ushered her out of this life changed me and hopefully the way I spend the time I have left on this earth. Thank you Wanda.
