You too, Betsey! You can understand how some animals eat their offspring!

Ashley is UBER busy but it is with New "He's Just A Friend". But that's ok. He is a nice guy and knows this area and a lot of people well. On top of that - his family are really nice to her and this evening she is hanging out with his Mom to celebrate her birthday. The family has 4 boys and no girls so I will bet she kind of enjoys having Ashley and her enthusiastic spirit around.

But Ash and I are making plans to go shopping too. For her apt and her birthday next month. She is going to NIagara next week to get her stuff and it will sit in my garage for a couple of weeks till the Apt is ready (they will repaint and clean - the guy living there was a slob).

Life is back on track. Ryan is doing fabulous. Only 2 workers here now but both are dedicated and with Ashley and my sister able to stay with him while I'm away this winter - I have reached a calm zen-like stage. I am alone today and LOVING it. Taking care of some business and tidying but have some ME time too! I need that!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!
