Still Alive

I actually am alive and kicking. I also am actually extremely lazy.

Some highlights of the last unblogged month or so (make that the last week or so. As I said, I'm lazy.):

~Driving out to NY for Easter weekend. The family left about noon Friday, and Aaron and I followed later. I really enjoyed the five hours with him, even if his driving did occasionally make me nervous. (For those of you who don't know, he got his license a few weeks ago, and he really is an excellent driver.) During the times when he was driving, I entertained myself by reading old journals, an entertaining experience. "I always carry my diary with me. One must have something sensational to read on the train." (Rough paraphrase from "The Importance of being Earnest."

~Chatting with chicken-pocked Becca. She's quite an interesting conversationalist when she can sit still long enough!

~Playing Cranium with Ben, Katherine, Klara, Cara, and Aaron. Katherine wowing us all by unscrambling some random phrase into Oprah Winfrey at the last minute.

~Conspiring with Ben and Aaron to scare Cara and Klara while they were out tending to goats. (Fire crackers are quite effective.)

~Listening to Joe and Allouette Anderson's stories.

~Just visiting with close friends.

~Coming home. It's good to visit, but better to be home.
