Flaming June's Love

Do you still have a summmer song? You know the song that just transports you back to a place and time of a hot summer day or night and a person or place. I had some real flashbacks the other night while goofing with the ole youtube. I thought I would share some with all of you. The first one I dodnt know what I was singing until I was a few years older and realizied what an "Afternoon delight " really was. I can see my Mom chuckling to herself as I sang as loud as a ten year old could "Sky rockets in flight... afternoon delight.!" well it still brings me back. Muskrat love. Captain and Tennille, yeah Im dating myself but I loved that song. Sadeyes. Oh a real summer song. Although no one was asking me to stay or turn around and say goodbye I really thought I would cry everytime I herard this song. Jack and Diane by John Mellncamp. I was sixteen the year it was released and therer is reference to being sixteen in the song and I just loved that idea. I also ...

10 Tons of dirt or something to that nature. I am falling to sleep at night with visions of green grass and flowering fruit trees and a jungle gym. I dont have pics to post tonight but I can tell you that the yard of our dreams is closer now than it was a week ago. For those that havent been here I have to backtrack, the yard has been full of debris from the construction since it began. our builder turned into an as*&^% and just left and didnt come back with about ten percent of the work left to be done. May not sound like alot but when you have a beautiful house that just isnt quite done it can drive a person over the edge or close to it. So Andy has been fighting the piles of siding and trash and wood and concrete and more trash for about three months now. We would go out and PICK THROUGH THE PILE. Only to find more crap under neath the other pile of crap. To my surprise I looked out tonight and actually had a glimpse of what could be. We can seriously have a kick ass ya...

Let me begin by saying we had a nice time on our trip to Fla. The sun and fresh air and most of all my delightfully entertaining family. If I hadnt mentioned before I had a family of wildly entertaining people/ We range from hilariously intentional Dave who can make the most minddful person laugh out loud. To brother Dan that doesnt have his own funny bone which makes him even more hilarious to watch. Our children which range from Allie with a sense of humor like Dave, to Ben a serious physical comedian. I can say a vacation on the polar shelf would be fun with these people that I adore more everyday I live. I am attaching some of my favorite photos. I cant begin to include all of them with commentary because it would take too long and secondly never gie justice to the hilarity of it all.

I have a blogger site that I go to every few days to check in on. I never comment her becaue she has alot of friends and family that tell her enough, more than Iwould know what to say. I read her blog because in a sick and twisted way (full on honesty here)- her pain puts my loss into perspective. She delivered twin boys at 32 weeks, One boy survived and is perfectly well, small but well. The other child suffered severe brain damage from incompetent placenta and lack of O2. He lived a total of 6 weeks and then died inher arms. They were not aware of the severity of his injuries until after his death. They believed they were going to be bringing home two healthy boys until a few days before his death. OK what am I getting at. Well she made a very very profound entry the other day and it has taken me a while to digest. She has gotten a few negative comments from readers concerning, "their loss compared to her loss and how she only had her son for 6 weeks and she shoudnt fe...
