Hello, girls....how was the weekend? Lovely weather! Pam - your decorations are terrific! Check out her blog if you haven't seen them. How is Billy feeling? Did the banjo make him feel better? A housekeeping note - I'll host this Wednesday. Consuelo - I know you have to pick up from CCD - but I hope you can come by afterwards. Missed you and the DeMarcos at Red & White day. Joe Byrnes was the star of the day - just ask Sean McCabe! I went to a high school open house yesterday - OY! How can that be? Where is my little girl that ran around the backyard for hours and how can she be contemplating high school? We had another momentous happening at our house yesterday - it started when Kelly and I were headed home from church at 10:00. We passed a house around the corner that had put out a big Yard Sale sign - and there it was - a suit of armor! I have wanted one of these since forever - no idea why. I loved the movie Excalibur and the armor room is my absolute favorite part of the Art Museum. Anyhow - I walked into the house and said to the fam - 'Birthday present alert! There is a suit of armor around the corner and I covet it!' Erin and Kelly walked around and asked how much it was. A cell phone call to Dad followed and they decided that I was worth the $50. He drove around in the van. When he got there, a camera crew was there and asked if they could film he and the girls making the purchase - apparently this guy and his house are going to be featured on some HGTV show about first time buyers or sellers or something. Burkie had just come back from jogging with Erin and was looking very spiffy(unshaven, sweaty and crazy hair)! So - they're going to be on some upcoming episode and look who has come to live with us:
Isn't he awesome - he's just about my height. I have to give him a name, of course. I considered Sir Rantsalot - a nod to the current menopausal period in my life. But, I think he deserves something really snazzy. I'm open to suggestions - and you can be sure 'O Holy Knight' will probably make an appearance on our Christmas card this year. They all groaned but I think it's hilarious! Anyhow....hope you're having a decent Monday - and see y'all on Wednesday....piece.
