    I dragged the kids to the zoo today. What a beautiful day to walk around the zoo! Also, it costs like four times as much to go there than I remember. And not totally worth it, in my opinion. But we did have fun and we saw a lot of animals. It was good to…

    We had an extra day in Orlando for Christina’s dance competition, so we went to Sea World. These dolphins looked like they were having so much fun. They reminded me of Pinot, willing to do anything for even just one kernel of dog food, and loving every second of it. The roller coasters were a…

    Billy finally got his car back today after hydroplaning over a month ago on June 17. We have gotten so used to living with just one car. It helps that I work at home and he works overnights. I am so glad I won’t have to drive the same car he did right after going…

    This is Coconut the hermit crab, Christina’s class pet for whom we are caring this weekend. This is the first time I’ve seen him out of his shell since we brought him home yesterday afternoon. He seems very timid but has been happily drinking water for about 45 minutes. I guess hermit crabs, like the…

    Today was terrible. I had to sing at church, which is always nerve-wracking. I felt like I sounded awful and I hated every second of it. Then I had big plans to go to the zoo with my DSLR and telephoto lens. I charged up the battery, got all my gear together, forced Robin to…
