i was born and raised in detroit, but i think i got all of my grandmother's yazoo city, mississippi blood. i miss the south. perhaps the only way that michigan has got virginia beat is the thunder storms. there have already been two up here that beat any down in virginia.
drivers in NoVa are assinine, but drivers up here try to kill you. the speed limit on the highway is 70, which means you'd best be going at least 80 or you're likely get shot or run off the road.
nanynka, my filly, knocked a board down on the fence and decided to pay the folks a visit at home. she's a friendly little girl.
speaking of little girls, i am inundated with them and loving it. also my little sister is engaged: kudos and congrats in order!
my nephew is adorable. he thinks i'm great 'cause i push him on the swing and play choo-choos with him.
one of my jobs is in a gift shop at a rehab center. they sell these little stuffed bears that say "get well soon."
today i'll fix the fence, give the girls a riding lesson, learn some more gillian welch, and hopefully see my goddaughter.
please keep me mum in your prayers. she's been on bed rest for almost a month with a slipped disk.
