Run Mommy Run. Love You

Here's the new 2G iPod Shuffle that Ellie and Bill got for me. It will be much easier to run with clipped to my sleeve. What a great engraving they chose! Ironically I got one for Jody for her birthday that I gave to her last night for her to run with .. her's said, "Breathe. Run. Laugh. Repeat."

Halloween Parties Galore ...




Bill has a Halloween Party at work and they've recreated the whole Peanuts gang - and guess who is Charlie Brown. I'm calling him CB for short! Ellie's party is this afternoon at 3pm .. and she'll be Ariel. In the meantime she's in her Halloween garb!

Friends ....

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer
