Star #21...

...out of 90.  

I've been working 6 days a week for the past month or so.  Even though the extra shifts aren't all that long they're still enough to punch a hole in the middle of what could've been a productive day at home.  Hat also started working 6 day weeks around the same time... 10 hour work days for him not counting (unpaid) half hour lunch plus 1.5 hours driving.  Poor husband.   If we didn't live under the same roof we'd never see each other.  As it is, its just while coming, going and sleeping.   Besides going to work, nothing much else has been getting done around here beyond the bare basics. 

Youngest son C stopped by one evening this week with his youngest, my granddaughter.  It was a nice evening so we sat outside.   I'm really proud of what a wonderful father he has turned out to be, and grateful he lives very near by so I get to see him and his babies often :)

Oldest daughter "rayray" drove up from Indy yesterday for sort of a surprise visit, no real reason just to sit and catch up on news.   The best kind of visit!   I've been blessed with wonderful kids, I really have.

We (darling Hat, me, 4 of our "kids" plus 2 of the grandkids) are getting away for a camping/beach vacation in less than two weeks.   I'm really looking forward to it!
