Get Your Kicks in the Sticks
I feel sooooo much better. I’m out in the sticks. I’m borrowing my Dad’s camera and I’m taking pictures! I’d be on top of the world except I dumped my full latte in the garden while trying to rescue Baby Bug from some tall itchy weeds. I set it on my mom’s split rail fence and then proceeded to bump it with my big clumsy leg as I tried to hoist myself and Baby Bug over the fence. Of course it dumped upside down AND the lid fell off. I was almost tempted to get down with the dogs and lap it up. We are going to have some very hyper dogs later. Blasted clumsiness.
My sister-in-law quit her job today at the big-box-hardware store. I’m so happy for her. It was and is a scary thing to do. No more health insurance. But you gotta draw the line somewhere. She was a garden cashier and they were running her ragged with horrible hours. It just seemed like they didn’t care. She’s so smart, I’m sure she’ll find a new job in no time but today we are not going to think about that. We are just going to soak up the sun and hang out with the kids in the garden.
There’s lots to do out here and the weather is divine.

Big News!
Guess what! My family has a new website. I set them up with a new wordpress design (with lots and lots and lots of help from Lauren of Stranahan.com who hosts my website). This whole web domain was probably dumb of me since nobody ever writes anything except my poor over-worked tired sister-in-law but I just felt it was time. Here I am making banners for everybody else, I should take care of my family first. So there you are. Go click on them and tell them to blog some. Because the family that blogs together stays together!
On another note, this is a little preview of what the Stranahans might offer as a package deal: web hosting, wordpress interface and graphics by me! Weeeee! I don’t know when they plan to launch this idea but it’s something we’ve been talking about for a year or so. So if you’re interested, leave me a comment and I’ll forward it on to them. I’d say blast them with emails but they are busy people!
p.s. The banner winners of April have been chosen! But I’m not telling. I will be sending emails tonight. (yes, I broke down and chose two) Don’t tell who you are until we have graphics to show, ’cause it’s more fun to have a big reveal!
To the rest of you… I’m lopping all the April emails into May so you still have a chance to win in May! Yay!
