    My sink is now slower than my computer. It used to be that I could turn my computer on and, since it is so slow in loading, I could run out and wash a sink full of dishes before it was completely on and ready for use. Now however, because of some unknown pressure issues, I can turn my sink on to fill up and then run, turn my computer on, write and entire blog entry and get back before the sink is filled.

     It's currently snowing big snowflakes out my window, I am sitting at the computer instead of teaching my Sunday School Class because DS4 has a runny nose. At least he yells to me every 20 minutes or so to wipe his nose because it's running, but seriously I don't see anything coming out. His nose is getting sore because of all the wiping though.

     Yesterday, my almost 16 year old son had some friends over to celebrate his upcoming 16th birthday. He won't be sixteen for another two weeks but, some of his friends are in college and he wanted them to be able to attend, so he held it early. He did all the cooking. He made two chocolate peanut butter pies, bacon stuffed mushrooms, and meringue cookies. He also set up the fondue machine that his grandmother gave him for Christmas and had strawberries, bananas and pretzels to dip into the chocolate. It was a really neat group of kids. We were all able to sit around and chat comfortably. The kids didn't all know each other and they were really good at asking pertinent questions to become better acquainted.

     Scott, my 19 year old College Student is home on Christmas break and has to return in about a week. He finished his first semester of an honors program with 4 A's and a B. He waited two years to even think about college because he didn't think he was properly prepared academically and he wasn't sure about the finances. God totally provided the finances, all but $4600 in student loans and, though our homeschool was relaxed he obviously had the motivation and skills needed to compete academically at the college level.

     This has been just a bunch of rambling that really has nothing to do with anything but a desire to write and post and share some of our lives with you our blogging friends.

I knew when I posted that catalog list you'd get me on the Rock Solid thing - I just knew it! I just didn't have a current catalog and I was being lazy (too lazy to go online and look up the info).

Congrats to Scott (guess he's to old to call Scotty anymore, huh?). And just one question for the "almost 16 y.o." Why weren't we invited??? Stuffed mushrooms? Fondue? Yumm!!!

The whole teens getting together sounds kinda remniscent of things we use to do, huh? Remember a late night stop at McDonald's on the way home from where was it? With a van full of teens - were we really that young once???

Thinking of you, Hugs & such,
