BABY ANDERSON

We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited for the new "Anderson Baby" to arrive in September! I went to a wonderful baby shower last week for Dawn: so many wonderful presents, cute clothes, etc. I had alot of fun making the baby quilt and pillow for "baby". I'm ready to start my next one if I can just find some "quilt time.".

Blah, Blah, Blah

Just a short note to make you laugh....Grandpa and Grandma were over last night...we were talking about everybodys blogs (we all agree we REALLY like Paul's). Grandpa had his own version.....he said that he had a hard time getting into some of the "Blah's". Grandma corrected him, "Blogs, Roger, Blogs".

Grandma's Visit


I'm finally home after what seems like one perpetual vacation this summer. Mike and I spent 4 wonderful days camping in Grand Marais (still our favorite place). It was so beautiful up there.
Then 6 days later Karen and I went to Sibley State Park for 3 days. It was also very relaxing and always a good time with Karen (3 days of laughing, good talks, etc). I got home a week ago last Wed and due to some unexpected time off at work, I decided I needed to have a "Baby Bo Fix". Mike thought it was a great idea, so, since he couldn't get off work I took off Thursday for St louis (promising to take tons of pictures). The trip went well (except for maybe the night in "Pittsville, Il" at the "Green Acres Motel".) It was all very appropriately named. - Very clean and safe....but felt like I was back in the 60's....I just couldn't drive any more (had gone 480 miles). I spent 3 days in St Louis spoiling my grandson.....and just relaxing with Jason and Andrea...they were wonderful and we had a great time! They have a beautiful house and a really pretty, safe and quiet neighborhood. Lot of good food (way too much). Stayed overnight by Madison and got to spend the evening with Ronnie and Monica...it had been way too long since I'd seen them. Got home Tuesday evening and was back at work Wednesday. Right now, just waiting for the ambulance to bring my patient home. it will be good to get back as I've been all over the twin cities taking care of a large variety of patients (mostly hospice). It was good to get out of my comfort zone, but I want back in the zone for awhile!
