Findley misses the Red Hots

WOOF!

The NYC StoryBook is "complete" and comments welcome

I uploaded it to cmphotocenter and "shared" it with each of you. Be sure to click "preview" when it brings you to that page, so you can view the book. Let me know if you have any comments/questions/suggestions. I've already found one thing I want to change so if you're going to order your own copy for delivery to your home, please DON"T ORDER THIS EDITION. I will upload a new edition probably Friday after you've all had a chance to comment. You may not be able to read the journaling clearly -- i have proofed and proofed it. If you are concerned about it and can't see it, call me and I'll read it to you.

Please email me directly with any input in case I don't get back to the blog or FB before then -- I thought about giving FB up for Lent, but I've changed my mind. Giving up lattes is easier!! (:

Pranks and sabotage - you got him good!

When my boys got home, I told them that you all had been startled by the alarm clocks going off and the shoes in the pillowcase and all of their little pranks. But it was night time before Ben discovered that the his room had been sabotaged in return!

When Doug and I got back from going out to dinner, Ben came running down the stairs.

"Mom there is something strange going on with my bed!" he told me as soon as he saw me. "And there is a weird potato in my bathroom!" I don't think he'd ever been a short-sheeting victim before, but he was most freaked out by the potato. And there were so many little notes and things that he didn't know when something was going to come at him next!!!

We had a good laugh, and Ben wanted to know if our house was going to be "invaded" again this weekend! We could only be so fortunate!! (:

I'm In!!

I may be a Facebook hold out, but this I can do! I so enjoyed the weekend. It was great to catch up and spend time with you all. Kellie, you are my hero. I am so pleased with your recovery and strength. Keep it up girl! Julie and I will have you our there running with us next year. Julie, thanks for the run. I missed today, but I will be back out there tomorrow, however I am much more motivated when I have a partner to run with. I will try to get Sarah's autograph for you since she and I are so tight now that I am her stunt double. HeeHee! Every lady I talked with today that knew we were off on our weekend when I told them about the extent of our noneventful weekend was jealous. We are all just too busy on a regular day to sit around and enjoy like we did this weekend. Amy, thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality and food and the great job on the book and now setting this up. It was great to catch up and talk & maybe this will motivate me to check in with you guys more. How did Ben like his traps? I am blessed by all of your friendships. Love to you all! L

Afternoon tea, the first photos

Tea was lovely on Saturday. We missed you, Kellie and Betsy! Did anyone else take any photos from the weekend? Are we all too behind on our albums to be taking photos???? Hmmm....
Love you gals!
Amy

Afternoon tea

My apologies to Laurie for typing too fast in my first post and spelling her name wrong!!!!!

Hey everyone. It was great to be with you all this weekend. I certainly loved our tea time, and wish Kellie and Betsy could have been there too. In case you two didn't know, Sarah Palin had tea with us!!!!(LOL...Lauire)
I love and appreciate you all and the years of commitment to our friendships!!! Hope our summer plans work out so that we can see everyone's kids.
Love to you all,
JH

Friends

What a great way to communicate with you guys! I look forward to being able to keep up with your day-to-day lives a bit better now. Thanks again for being such a great hostess this weekend, Amy.

The Start of Our Red Hots Blog

We were talking last night around the scrapbook tables -- about how we could better keep up with each other -- and we tossed around the idea of a blog. So check it out; I'm just getting it set up but I'll try to post our pics from the afternoon tea on Saturday on here by tomorrow evening. Anyone else with anything, put it on!

It was great having you Red Hots here this weekend; Betsy we missed you!

Love,
Amy
