I came here last Thursday and stayed with Heather and Kris til Sunday evening. We drove the trails in a 4 wheeler, went to the gym ( by the way it is way neat and Kris has signed up more members than his goal for this time), as well as Heather and I went shopping and one night we ate out after they sampled wine at their friend's wine shop. Kris has become a fantastic cook and on Sunday he cooked dinner for both families.

Starting Sunday p.m., I moved to Lisa's as she was on call for all of this week. It is now Sunday again and she will be done with call on Monday. Watching what a Doctor's "on call hours" are, is amazing! Adam got sick and has been running a 103 temp so has been in bed several days. Challenging to keep Anna and Ella away from him:)

The girls and I have walked every day for an adventure and have several trails we walk/ run on with the 2 seater stroller. Anna worries we will not find our way home ( there could be some truth there LOL) but Ella just sits there grinning. At times Isac follows along but then something distracts him and off he goes runniung so fast it appears his paws never really touch the ground.

We have found flowers, nuts, bird nests, bones, escaped lambs and assorted other nature items. Creative projects are being produced: stained glass mobels (really made from Elmers glue colored), playdooh art work that is now baking in the oven during their nap time, an Anna made an Easter decorated gingerbread house we put together ( beautiful but I would not want to eat it), And when all else fails the girls get to take another bubble bath. I am hoping their skin does not stay all withered as they will both look like an old person. They are so funny making breads out of the bubbles.

In the evenings, they go to bed around 7 so I turn my attentions to my MAC and just MAYBE I am making progress. Will know soon as I am coping my last trip and then will trash iphoto's current library. At one time I had 48,000 jpg on now it is bogged down with a little over 10,000. Think my camera uses more memory than my Olympic. I am behind in getting Tahiti on but this time the ship was so cheap they put on DVD's and printed for really cheap and then we got the employee discount as well.... YEA!

For all you runners...Kris is wanting to develop a 5 K trail. This part of Va seems to have really nice weather....mild winters....spring and fall pretty and not too humid in the summer. The only bad item is wasps or horrnits. They are very bothersome! Always a pleasure to visit. Unfortunately Gerry is working almost every day so he is in Ca Once back we have several activities....saw Rain recently and Dirty Dancing is coming also some bridge cruises before 09 is over and ofcourse Adam and Rachel's wedding. Look forward to seeing everone!
