Home Is Where?

Many people say home is where the heart is, but often there is a real address too. Based on my last month of travel, mainly day trips, I'm not sure I remember any kind of physical address. Here is where I, we have been, in no particular order.
Hershey's Chocolate Factory

Two Class Christmas Parties
The North Museum of Natural History and Science and the Planetarium
The Smithsonion (The National Museum of Natural History) and to see the Hope Diamond
To the Brick House for dinner with friends. I wouldn't recommend it, but hey, it was fun.
Manheim Auto Auction to sell cookies for Women's Club
To the Cabin
And last, but not least Chuck E' Cheese for some birthday celebrating.

And one last location that deserves it's own post. I bet your curious now!

Keeping Up

In reverse order in the last two weeks we have.... had an old man back into my not moving vehicle. $600 dollars to his insurance later it looks marvelous, but that is ludicrous. We have had the van start making funny noises, strand Travis in a rain storm to walk home, and that will be fixed by my super handy hubby tonight.
have made birthday treats to take to school. Rice crispy circles with chocolate frosting and mini Reese's Pieces. As well as baked 4 batches of cookies for Manheim Women's Club, assemble 130 some odd 1 lb. packages and sell them at the Manheim Auto Auction. This year the flattery from the Auto Auction men was laid on as thick as ever. What a good day! And cooking more cookies for a neighborhood cookie exchange.
have been spoiling Issac's very particular birthday whims of breakfast in bed. Check out his mini 6 pack. Remember this child is also considered obese on the BMI body chart.
have been having lunch dates with neighbors and friends and kids.
have spent a lot of time at the shooting range. Recently we joined Manheim Sportsman Association. The kids love our quick impromptu trips to shoot for a bit. They have little point competitions, here they are checking the scores. Also I saw a mildly attractive man there, who got a whole lot hotter, in his camo fatigues practicing pistol drills and doing awesome. Something very primal about knowing that man could protect a woman.

celebrating Thanksgiving both in the school for the first grade feast, and the actual day of with Turkey Bowl football, which I also cash in on and dinner at my brother's house with his family.

We have been keeping super busy, but every minute is better than the last, so I can't complain.
