Sleepy Saturday Morning

This was on my Instagram this morning...I feel like I need to tattoo it on my hand.

A very sweet friend lost her husband unexpectedly this week.  I've been so heartbroken for her and her family. It really has spoken to me that I need to live in the present and just enjoy life, with gratitude, each day.  

I'm posting this for documentation.  When I walked over to visit Mom & Dad last night, I found this...

Daniel is throwing darts at a foam roller with an airplane on top.  I have no idea why.  Daniel & Laura have been at "Active Outdoors Camp" during the day this week and today they went on a field trip to the Carolina Raptor Center.  Daniel was so excited to see the raptors.  He seems most excited to see a Bald Eagle.  Here is a picture of the craft he made. 

It is a rope bracelet.  My Dad asked him if he could make one and Daniel told him, "I doubt it".  They love to give each other a very hard time.  

I wish Laura could tell us what she thinks about camp.  She has a caretaker that goes with her.  Today, Laura turns 12.  We are going to Red Robin for her birthday party tonight.  Her 2 caretakers are supposed to join us as well.  Aunt Julie went a little bit overboard in buying clothes for Laura's birthday.  I think I bought 8 shirts and 4 pair of pants.  Laura has enough going on in her life to deal with so cute clothes will not be one of them!  

Last year, Linda and I went to see Duran Duran in concert.  I'd insert a picture of us at the concert but, I didn't take one!!!  Ugh.  Anyway, I ordered a DVD of Duran Duran in concert right after that night. The only one I could find was from a 2011 concert in Manchester.  I came across that DVD last week, unopened, so last night I decided to put it on in the theater and have my own private concert.  Poor Scott, I'm sure he could hear me belting out the songs along with the band!

I turned the light on to take a picture of my concert buddy.  Balto attended the concert as well....

I wonder what he thought about the show.  I think he'd be more into Jazz.  Blossom would probably like Gangsta Rap.
