A Long Way From Home

You know you're in the Pacific Northwest when you are greeted by this in your hotel room closet.

Pool Maintenance

Lynn has been trying to vacuum our pool for a few weeks now. There was severe dust build-up from our recent winds. It appeared we needed a new vacuum because no amount of elbow grease was working. He took apart the section that rolled along the bottom of the pool and he examined the motor. He couldn't find anything wrong but thought maybe it was just worn out and we needed a new one. Finally he detached the hose and looked inside for possible holes or obstructions...

then he found the culprit. A runaway Littlest Pet Shop.

And yet another reason I love having a 10 year old daughter.

Sparkle

There are many reasons I like having a daughter.
When I clean out the lint tray in the clothes dryer, it almost always sparkles with bits of glitter.
