I finally figured it out!!! Sudoku that is....When I first picked up the book at the dollar store my brain would just cramp up and I could not figure out the way to play Sudoku. I still have a hard time saying that word! Well, 2 years later, I picked up the book and just got it!! Maybe God knew that at this time in my life I needed a good mental distraction.

I had a very nice birthday today with "my gang" (dh, dc and mil) We had a wonderful b-fast and shopping spree in our beautiful countryside. The perfect Fall day! The kids made out great as Grammy bought them new cups and I bought them new backpacks! Gee, it's my b-day right? I did not mind blessing them on my b-day. Dh and kids went to a part of the store without me and got me some nice things and a card. It was very sweet. The best gift today may be a buyer for our house. Still praying and waiting on that.
