Wow, it has been one busy, wonderful weekend. Every day I thought maybe I’d have a chance to get on the computer and update my blog, but I barely took time to check email, much less write a post.
(Secretly, I really enjoyed the little break. And I’ve enjoyed visiting with friends and family so much, I’m bubbling over.)
But I’ve missed you, so it’s great to be back.
Here’s just a little glimpse into what we’ve been up to this week. We had 11 house guest between Wednesday to Sunday. They all came to celebrate Homecoming at York College (our alma mater). Among the guests were my wonderful Kansas nieces and nephews. The cousins had so much fun together that some of them were in tears as they pulled themselves away from each other when it was time to separate. Thanksgiving just won’t come soon enough for these fast friends.
Saturday, Matt was among a group of guys honored at the soccer game. Why? Because 20 years ago, they were a part of the YC soccer team that won the National Championship. I was Matt’s girlfriend with big hair, back in the day. Ah, the memories. :)

I keep thinking about Thanksgiving and how it won’t come fast enough for me :)
glad so many of the family got together last weekend! love seeing the pictures of the young ones together!
You are going to share a big hair picture, right?
Oh, uh…shucks. I can’t find one anywhere. ;)
I was going to post what Emily posted. Big hair picture is coming, right? :-)
I have a dairy allergy and can not use heavy cream for the creamy crock pot chicken and rice. Do you know of a substitute to use. I have found vegan cheeses, and lots of other substitute’s but nothing for the cream. thanks
Hmm, maybe coconut milk?
Oh wow! I’d love to win the madeonlotion gift cert! My husband and sons all suffer with eczema, esp in the winter. Would love to have them try this out!!!
