No this blog is really not dead...really

goodness, what a long time since I've updated this blog.
What's been going on?
First Son and Girlfriend are now First Son and Fiancee, soon to be First Son and First Daughter-in-Law.
Second Son has gone to New Mexico to learn Apache medicine ways.
Third Son has finished 11th grade, making him a Senior in High School Which is impossible since I clearly am too young and vital to have things like Daughters-in-Law and babies who are Seniors in High School.
Speed Racer and I are going to take a vacation On Our Own, without any of our off-spring to make sure that we don't get into trouble and to suggest to us things we should buy for them.
Speed Racer put a small scratch in my mid-life crisis (but I forgive him!).
The Dog cut his tongue on a cat food can, and cost us $261 and ruined the bedroom carpet (but we forgive him.)
Third Son found a racing pigeon who seems to have decided that racing is too much hard work (more on that later.) He named the pigeon "Pidgin."
The pond is looking fabulous! Just fabulous!
