The weather in Dallas is exceptional. I loved today. It started with my dear friend Lorry showing up with scrumptious goodies from La Madeleine and helping me this morning. Thank you, dear LoLo.
The best part of my day was getting up, showered, and meeting my lunch date in the Zion Lutheran School cafeteria. Best lunch date I have had in years!!! (Sorry dude I met on Match.com but it was no comparison).
My kids are out of sorts. They miss me and desperately crave our routine. I am so grateful Oscar is as communicative as he is. He will tell me excatly how he is feeling. Last night he walked up, hugged my legs and told me he was missing me and just wanted family time. I hope I can nurture that so he always talks things through with me. Ya know, like when he is 15. Ha....right......what crazy chemo talk. LOL A girl can hope. I am working hard to nap when they are at school so we can have our special night time time together. Who would have thought you could miss the monotony of nagging to brush teeth, get jammies on, pick 3 books to read each. God is good. I love my life!!

Hello Maureen, its Friday. Glad you were able to enjoy the weather yesterday. It is miserable here in Omaha. La Madeline was one of my favorite restaurants in Arizona. I love their Tomato soup and scrumtious desserts.
My beautiful son turned 18 yesterday. He went and got a tatoo.....now if you had have asked me if I thought he would have done that when he was 6 I would have said "never". Oh well, he is healthy, happy and a good person, thats what matters.
Love to you all
Barbara
