We have had all good days with Joe this week. A few episodes, but all in all we have to be thankful for what it is. We also have taken some time together, and making the days count has never been more important.

Wednesdays
I have decided to take next few Wednesdays off from work to focus on spending time with Joe. I have 7 vacation days unaccounted for and we thought we might just spend them with him...either out to eat, at the park or back at our house. The weather is getting nicer and now some outdoor time is possible (I know it sounds weird, but we are in the equivalent of Spring back east since it is like the end of our worst weather..i think you get the idea).
So we have the van, we have the vacation time, and we have Joe able to get out, so off we go. Today we went to Jason's deli for salad bar, and ice cream for dessert (me only). Then off to Freestone park where we checked out the gym and the kiddie park. A nice relaxing day.

Pandora's box
Guess who is working on a Pandora bracelet?
We added a new bead today - the blue one - and now the bracelet is fit for wearing. Isn't it beautiful?
It it really isn't a Pandora's box after all...just a fun way to show off some new life events. Like there is a cruise ship we bought in Alaska, and a cupcake for her birthday, and just some other nice ones. The blue one adds color and there is a plan to get another one in a little while.
Congrats Vickie! I hope you enjoy it a lot!

A ride
We took a ride on our tandem bike on Sunday afternoon. It was a great way to end a very rough weekend.
You can probably tell from the picture that this is not us...our bike is blue.
Why this matters: this was a huge hurdle since we haven't been out on it all year. I don't mean all season either, I mean all of 2013.
The only reason we went is because I did a foolish thing and planned a scenic ride in the car to a nearby lake within the national forest...bought the pass on line and everything. Of course we realized after the purchase that the federal shutdown means parks are, yep, closed, too. So that drive never happened.
We miss our kids, and our grandkids...basically all family. We have some light at the end of the tunnel with some visits planned real soon including Noah this weekend and Stephanie and Elijah in a week and a half. We also had a sample recently with the Goodliffes having visited.
Happy Monday.

To my ladies
Ladies -
There have been some hard topics to talk about that I want to have a family discussion about here. But I'm a bit confused about how to share them with you. A blog seems too open, too impersonal, just too world wide web ish. Yet communication has changed so much and I don't want to be too old school.
So I need your advice...should I just open up here, or create a separate private blog, or use some other medium? Let me know your thoughts, cause I really value your opinion as the godly, wise women that you are.
Btw - I struggled here with how to address you all...mom says you should be referred to as ladies since that is what you are, but to me my usual use of the title girls is more affectionate. So if you have a preference id like to know that too.
Love,
Dad

Elephants
We had dinner tonight with a friend from work and his wife tonight. A place called The Elephant Bar Restaurant. It has a really interesting menu and a safari decor...even some elephant statues.
The food is really good but the reviews on Yelp are not great. One reviewer said "I don't know why they call this place the elephant restaurant, there isn't even any elephant on the menu...". Huh?

Micro blog
Hi again...it's been a while...since april, and I don't have much free time these days. However I realize that all of you are blogging and you dont have free time either. So I thought I'd give it a go with a new approach
-micro blogging.
I'll be brief, and I'll be gone. Thats it. No pictures, just a brief update on us and Joe or whatever..
The question is -- does that work for all of you?
I'm asking cause I need feedback to even bother to do this if you know what I mean (you faithful bloggers understand) so please humor me and post a comment please :)
