*Lollipops* *hyacinth* *canes game*

If you are a woman, you've probably been to the gynecologist's office.
There are sometimes lollipops at the desk when you check out. My kids
think there are lollipops in the exam room too. They were fighting
over them, as a matter of fact.

Then there are the lovely pink blooms I'll miss so much. I met the
new owner tonight - amidst total chaos of cooking dinner, arranging to
see my mom in AZ, and haivng a friend/neighbor stop by, and calling my
dad to finalize the plan - I let her know that the bulb needs to be
split, into about 7 bulbs!

She has a dog and a cat - and will likely put up a fence right away.
I hope that she appreciates that we've been good stewards to her home
and land. I get the sense that she does.

The next picture is of our last Canes game. Sniffle. I'm glad we
went, the kids so love their Carolina Hurricanes.

Erin go Bragh(less)

She did - and so should you.  I declare March 17th FEEL YOUR BOOBIES DAY!  There. Now go get a mammogram. I just did!

Ernie, my precious flower.

I swear my son insisted on wearing his sister's headband. I SWEAR IT!
The funnier part of this is that while Evelyn offed with some poor
kid's shoes (his mom was panicked and figured them stolen until she
spied them on her) ... some little girl walked out of the play area
with Ernie's headband on!!

My peach tree, from a peach pit, is finally blooming

As I was taking a walk around my yard I saw that my peach tree - which
sprouted from a peach pit tossed in the compost pile a few years back
- had finally blossomed. How glorious! I wish we could dig up the
tree and bring it with us, but, sadly, it just isn't going to happen.
Fire ants, the whole movers not moving living plants - and then of
course, the rest of us going in the minivan - take your pick of
reasons. I will forever remember growing a peach tree from a pit. And
getting it bloom. Beautiful, aren't they? Sniffle.

Marbles, Ash Wednesday lunch at Peiwei

A meltdown, some pom poms, a few dozen chopsticks ... Here's what
we've been up to for the last week or so. Looking forward to more
consistent blogging again soon ! Only a few more days till we're in
CHICAGO!
