Ivy, I just read your 101 things. I could have written part of it myself. I’d feel like things were in total chaos if I lived next door too my MIL and FIL! What a nightmare …. no privacy. So you are in hot Texas and lived through Rita? I am in Kingwood. went without power for a couple days and that was bad enough. I bet we’re not far away. Michele

Hi Ivy! Thanks for dropping by the other day to say you were feeling prickly, too. I think your list of 101 things is just fantastic. It made me smile, laugh, and say no way, really? I know, I so relate, I feel like that, too and that happened to my sister and god et al gives me a migraine and makes me say WTF. Life can and does suck most of the time, but you remind me that sass and honesty and humour and our children can help get us through. You are a strong woman. Take care, drop by again soon. Xo.
