Good morning! For those who read my blog, I am not gone -- I am babysitting. School has started and my daughter is back to work and I am babysitting Bean. I thoroughly intend to take my netbook as soon as I figure out why in the world it doesn't want to connect to the wifi. When I do, I won't be away from the blog nearly as much.
However, for today, in the spirit of my friend Gill, I would like to share a link. I read my hometown newspaper (that would be San Antonio, Texas) every morning and I noticed
this house in their real estate section. There are things about it I like -- the kitchen for instance -- and things I don't. Who in the world needs a dozen bathrooms to clean up? Goodness, hubs and I would never see each other in this house! The land it is on is lovely, however. Perhaps I could lease out the big house and build a little house in the back!
Moving on, I am currently reading "So Far Away" by Meg Mitchell Moore. It is a very captivating story about three women whose lives intersect in a very unusual way and yet each one learns from the other. It isn't a particularly long book and I am half done. One of the perks of babysitting is that I have at least a two hour stretch of reading time every afternoon. Of course, I fall sound asleep for about a half hour (getting up at 5:30 a.m. finds me ready for a nap at noon, for sure). However, I am getting lots of reading accomplished and enjoying the time guilt free.
So, it is time for me to hit the road -- just about. I have about a 45 minute drive but, fortunately, the rest of the city must be slow risers because the traffic isn't too bad. As soon as I get the computer figured out it will be joining me so I won't be so far away from the blogsphere.
Toodles (as Bean says, thanks to Minnie Mouse) and I will be back soon!
