OK, so my daughter has made me feel guilty for not updating my blog. No one but her looks at it anyway so it really isn't that big of a deal, right? But nevertheless, I should keep it more current so my kids know that I do have a life - albeit an uneventful one.

So yesterday Jim took Cheryl and I fishing on Deer Creek. We really did have a good time but fishing isn't my thing so I am happy to only do it a couple of times a year. We caught ten but 'landed' seven. Which ever one of us caught the fish, the other one would grab the net. "Nice fish." "Nice net." Became our montra...unless of course we lost the fish and in that case we said, "Dang!" (That's it, nothing more.)

Aaron came down for a visit and I love having him here. He Ryan and Jon can make me laugh just while they are having a conversation. Aaron can be pretty blunt (does that run in our family) and he calls things the way they are no matter who is around. Thanks Lawlers for loving our family anyway!

Anyway, it has been a great weekend! Gosh I love my family!

I am feeling very frustrated and a little down, tonight. Jim left to drive back to California at 2:30 this morning. I didn't even know he was gone until 4:00 AM when the alarm went off at the time he was supposed to get up. But, he said he couldn't sleep and he might as well get on the road. Apparently I was sleeping so soundly (translate: snoring) that he didn't want to wake me.

It has left me feeling a little weird all day. I didn't get to say good-by and it is still making me sad.

Yes, I get the hidden message and that is probably what is bothering me, too. What if something was to happen to him and I didn't get to say good-by? Would I always feel a little sad, even years later? Is that why we are always told to live each day as if it were your last because you never know...it might be.

Anyway, he made it safely to California, but he too, is feeling down. Something is messed up and I can't put my finger on it. I'm going to have to think on this awhile.

Love you Jimmy.
