Wow. Six weeks since I posted,
unbelieveable. Well, I've been busy. Not just busy, but SUPER BUSY. With what? Well, Summer has arrived in Minnesota, and with it comes one of my favorite
past-times of playing in the dirt (gardening). Love that, I think I inherited it from my Dad, the farmer. Some day I will own a small farm.....well maybe, I can dream right? And along those lines are keeping up the yard, outdoor cleaning, etc., all of which leave me pooped.
The past week I've also been busy with travel reservations for the big vacation in July! I will be flying to Seattle on July 12 and joining three other Twilight Moms for a Twilight road trip to Port Angeles, Forks, La Push, and Portland. Fun? It will be a blast. Kacie is flying out on July 16, and we will then travel up to San Juan Island for our annual rendezvous with the whales, can't wait to see them! Oh, and our friends too ;) Jerry has opted to stay home and take care of the furry kids, and have a vacation all to himself. Can't say I blame him, Kacie and I are a handful, no doubt.
Oh, and then of course, there's ghost hunting. Investigations, keeping up the SIM
Facebook page, creating business cards and all that admin jazz, reviewing evidence, getting together with the team...well, this little hobby of ours has taken on a life of its own. We had an investigation last weekend of a building we've done before and we were not
dissapointed. We got great evidence in the way of audio, video, and photographs. Unbelievable evidence, truly. It was a great investigation. The team reviewed the evidence at our house last night, and all I will say is, well, it is shocking. Who knew that we would be successful in obtaining such a large amount of evidence? Certainly not me ;) Just as soon as we can put it all together I will share it here and on our F
acebook page, so stay tuned!
This weekend the SIM team is off to a small town in western Minnesota to investigate a home owned by Jerry's sister that has paranormal activity. We will all stay the night on this one, so hopefully we will have lots of evidence. There will be five us going, Kacie is staying home to care for Duncan and our three cats, Lolita, Boo, and
Zooey. She didn't want to drive for three hours anyways....teenagers. But we will miss her for certain, she's a big part of the team and like Jerry and I, she can see and feel ghosts. Ah well, she will help us to review what evidence we come up with, and this way I don't have to worry endlessly about how my furry babies are doing ;) Well, now I'll have to worry about Kacie - LOL!
So that's it in a nutshell! Too busy to write, so sad. But I am amending that beginning with this post. I will write more often, I've missed it these past weeks.

Unbel
ievable isn't it? That I should be old enough to have a 20-year old daughter is, well it's just plain unbelievable. But there it is. Her birthday was a week ago on June 26, and we celebrated it well, with almost the entire family + a few extras en tow at a local Mexican restaurant. Wyatt and Everett, the crazy little two-year olds, kept us all highly entertained and mobile - LOL! Of course we just had to tell our waiter that we were celebrating her birthday and at the end of the meal, the wait staff placed a huge sumbrareo on her head and then walked her through the restaurant and up onto a table where they loudly announced her birthday. The entire restaurant clapped and shouted. This moment was priceless. Though she said she was horrified, truth is she was sooo excited and she was actually beaming, happy to be in the limelight.
