Day 37

The girl is so much like me, we like paper and pens. We would rather write it down over typing it in our phones. Another fall picture from me, trying to soak it up because I think it's going to be a short fall.

Day 36

The girl moved to a new house, look at her backyard now. I sure do mis that type of view. But then look at my view on the same day. Beautiful as well.

Day 35

My guess is they are avoiding homework. We had friends over and of course, the whiteboard got a workout.

Day 34

I am so proud of my working girl and a little jealous of her cute dress and watch. We fed the birds in the field, one day I will have to get a video of them. They are noisy.

Day 33

They were celebrating the boy's 19th birthday! I went for a walk and wow, fall slapped us in the face this year.

Day 32

The girl texted me this photo saying this dog reminded her of Cready.
I went for a walk with friends and the horses were out, so fun.

Day thirty one

She studied for a test and we did laundry!! The joy of real life!! Woop Woop!!!

Day 30

It's really been a month.....that's crazy!!!

Day 29

Day 28

Costco trip for the girl with the boy's family.

Tonight we had artichoke with dinner, a favorite of the girl's. G had never tried it before, he never understood what we were eating. Tonight I got him to try it and his eyes lit up, he loved it. I announced that now we have to buy more when we cook them but Dub announced that G just replaces what the girl usually ate. BOO!!!

Day 27

On this Friday night the girl was enjoying an "I love Lucy" milkshake at Hopdaddy while we were sitting in front of a fire with friends.


And a bonus screen shot from our earlier conversation

I love that she is out there, in the real world, learning and growing.

Day 26

I am grateful the girl feels safe and is happy where she is. I don't like that she is so far away but we are blessed she is surrounded by people that care for her.
I went to the 9-11 ceremony in town, I love that we, as a nation, haven't forgotten.
I took my photo while waiting for the silent precession to start. This is Kasi, she has great taste in shoes.

Day 25

I received this photo and my response was "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" I am not ready for Christmas, I have to get through Halloween first.
I took a walk and ran across this deer leg, yes, part of a deer leg. No deer in sight either. Kind of gave me the creeps, being we have had two mountain lion sightings in town.

Day 24

The girl continues to make me proud. On this day she went and got the oil changed in her car, she used a coupon. I've taught her well.
Today I really missed her at homework time. See, she's always been my go to tutor when it comes to homework I don't understand. Today it was Dub's pre-algebra homework, I ended up going to Kane University to help us get through it.

We all missed her a lot on this day.

Day 23

The girl texted this picture and says "they are proportional to our size". I giggled. The boy is tall and she is short. He likes diet coke, she likes diet pepsi.

On this day I took a walk, a long walk. Mr. Fun was out of town, the house was clean and I needed to clear my head. The barns around here are amazing. From old to new.

Day 22

They got to watch the Niners beat the Cowboys.
Mr. Fun was out of town so I let the boys play Xbox on the big TV.

Day 21

The girl's photo is of a haboob approaching. I miss those storms, a lot. I remember we'd sit in the loft and watch the storms roll get closer and closer until day turned to dusk in seconds and then back to day.


We had yet another spur of the moment get together with friends. I'm learning to embrace the small town life more and more.

Day Twenty

The girl's first 8.5 hour shift at work and the day she received her fist paycheck. So proud of her!!

It was the first football game of the season so we had to go. Lots of friends and fun, the men got called away on a gas leak call so we left shortly after half time.

Day 19

The girl is killing me with her In-N-Out!! Just killing me!! How I miss Animal Fries, so yummy!! Hold the onion for us though.

I had to go shopping for more school supplies and some food so into the city I went. Look what I saw just sitting outside Staples, no leash, just chillin' waiting for his/her owner.

Day 18....

Making playlist, remember when we made mixed tapes? Now my kids make playlists.
It's so good to have this boy back home, he was gone way too long.
