Hoot!
Don't know what it is but I just love owls!!! Me and everyone else lately or should I say again! Back in the late 70's owls were a fad too, and unicorns. Sadly unicorns have not really returned but owls are everywhere!! My cute new dishes feature owls. Erin loves owls and they are everywhere!! Like on this cool free calendar at My owl Barn blog!!! So cute! I will print one for me and one for erin I think! What fun!

9. DISAPPOINTMENTS
- my old computer (iMac) quit working and I had to get it repaired; it needed a new power supply (but I'm happy it wasn't the hard drive)

- took our family photo - quickest, easiest one so far!
11. NOTEWORTHY
- Sophia and Madeline participated in Cross Country (M's first time) with two practices before school and one after-school meet every week for 5 weeks - it was great to have friends pick them up for practices (so Neil and the other children didn't have to go anywhere until 8:45)
- 1st meet: 5th (S) and 25th (M) - both were pleased!
- 2nd, 3rd, and 4th meets: M was in the top 50 each time, while Sophia didn't run or finish (didn't feel well, stepped in a gopher hole, had trouble breathing)
- 5th meet: 19th (S) and 53rd (M) - more breathing trouble for S; we don't know what the problem is, and she's frustrated (she has no trouble running continuously in practices)
- I was enrolled in 30 Days of Lists and BPC's Big Idea Festival (free), as well as Twelve at BPC (all year), and kept up with the reading/watching of content, but I didn't do anything with it - saving it for later!
- we picked up a small desk from Neil's cousin (originally from the Clarke family; hand made a few
