Orange is the color for a little while longer...

Danny and I have ridden around looking at houses in McKinney and nothing really knocks our socks off....especially the tiny lots and Abundance of two story homes. So, in about a 15 minute discussion today...we decided to just stay in Celina for another year. Neither of us is really interested in packing up for a move again...I like walking our current neighborhood. Preston is being widened. We have a grocery store. Neither of the kids are in a hurry to leave. Both can commute to work and classes Danny and I are settled in to our drives. Duke would not like "the city". And we already own enough orange, so we are just going to stay! Maybe 2013 will be the year we leave Celina, but it's not going to be in 2012. Night all... Pam

All grown up....

Tonight, in a small town in the East....two of my favorite girls are preparing for a new adventure. One is off to college and one is about to have an empty nest. I love you both and know that this next chapter shall contain a tear of two, but it's also the beginning of a whole new life...love you both more than I could possibly ever express! Good luck Morgan and Carla, keep your chin up, you did good and she'll be fine! PK

Yep....she's going to be another Octamom!

28 days

Finally google searched duck eggs....28 days is the incubation time. This means we should have move ducks on the lake at the end of this month...stay tuned.

Almost forgot!

My little buddy Eli was supposed to get a new brother and sister this week (adoption) and it has fallen thru. Lily, Tank and I will have to walk early tomorrow, to check on him. He was so excited, makes me sad to think it's not going to happen....

We checked on her twice today!

Mama Duck is still sitting on her nest....Lily, Tank and I walked twice today, just to check on her. I was telling the girls at work about her and they said to take her some corn or bird seed...I do not want to cause the other ducks to go around her, so well just have to wait until the eggs hatch, then take her a treat. Danny and I drove around McKinney looking at houses today. Nothing great so far. My requirements are big trees in back yard, covered patio, one story preferably, wood fence around back yard and preferably hard wood floors. Lease is up at the end of next month....decisions, decisions... Appears the storms have missed us...for once. My rent a car is in the garage, driving it while the hail damage is being repaired on my car. Going to take about a month...it has to have a new top and windshield. Hopefully when our office moves to Irving...we'll no longer be in storm alley, like Lewisville now.. Lights out on another hot weekend. PK

Still can't believe it!

6 months....1/2 a year....180 or so days without smoking! And yes I feel much better! And to Lucy's Mom, if you should happen to check out my crazy little blog, I am thrilled to see that she Is doing so well and that your precious family is getting back to a new normal. Happy Friday! PK
