ode to my i-phone

My I-phone
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

The easy way you are to answer; Hello?
That little button that turns the ringer on and off.
The wide screen for watching my favorite videos.
The seemingly endless applications to entertain myself.
Jelly Car for Andrew who at only three loves the red monster truck.
Monster Memory for Sabrina who wins a new monster
every time she plays and is now banned until I finally win one.
Sandi loves Urban Spoon.
Rich loves reMovem.
So much fun in one device.
I can read my Sunday School Lesson on it anywhere, anytime.
And last but not least-
TEXTING!!!
I have indeed arrived in the 21st Century.
I love you I-Phone.

Surprise!

February 1st was Harry's 16th birthday.

We planned the best surprise party with his friends at McHenry Bowl.

He didn't have a clue!

It was great!!

Pixie Hollow

Have you been to Pixie Hollow yet???? OMG!!!!! It's positively addicting! These are my two fairies. Leave it to Disney to create a virtual world that once you enter you will never want to leave. The artwork is beautiful. The site is as safe as Disneyland and almost as fun---and you don't have to walk---you get to FLY!

The boys who are used to having on line gaming all to themselves (World of War Craft-look out) are going to have to give up computer time to their sisters and moms. It is all for girls. No guns. No fights. No monsters. Just making friends and gathering nuts and flowers and berries. there are quests and clothes to be sewn. It's really great.

I hope to see you there sometime.
