Our new improved jump right in swimming pool

Maryland rocks!

Old dinky pool

We moved to Maryland and now we have a much larger swimming pool. From our old house I could look out the bedroom window and see the pool. But from our new house, I could jump out our bedroom window, and dive into the pool. Isn't that cool? We have a different view too.

Here's Cerise with her little doggie Gigi.

Pretty pretty Cerise.

Why I like to walk at night instead of morning....

This post doesn't come with a picture.

And how glad you should be! Trust me, you don't want to see what "Bob"got me for my birthday. Yes it was a couple days late, and in all fairness, "Bob" was in Maryland for my Birthday, and he didn't forget, he just didn't know what to get me. This is Bob number one. Don't get him confused with Bob numbers two and three.

And Nathan called me and left a happy birthday message, but I didn't discover it until yesterday. And Corky boy called me today, and Donelly and Haley sang Happy Birthday to you over the phone. Ok, I'm happy. All better.

No Nirvana for me.

But DeRees is well on his way! What I mean is that when he tells everyone not to get him anything or make a fuss over him on his birthday, he really means it. Or at least he puts on a pretty good show. . The trouble is that somehow he thinks just because he doesn't want anything, then I shouldn't want anything too. Second year in a row. Oh well. Charlotte and Darell and my mom remembered me, and Aaron too. Thanks!!

Free Babysitter

Well not exactly free. First you have to purchase the giant toilet. Then it will entertain for hours on end, at absolutely no cost to you. You could even pack them a lunch!
