I had forgotten what my blog looked like!  No kidding.....over a month since I have been on here and that's after a post of renewal, saying I'm techie secure again and ready to blog regularly!  No excuses, just caught up in the daily grind.  Also, lots of happy moments since my last post,  I will start with the happiest:  a trip to Utah for Jayme's birthday in October and then Ally's 2nd birthday party on October 6th.  Traveling by Amtrak I arrived after 24 hours of travel.......loooong train ride made easier because of my kindle,  the privacy of a sleeper car, dining with interesting people and again...my kindle!  Lost cell service a good part of the trip and no wifi from Sacramento to Ogden!  Happily,  I did a lot of reading and gazing out the window at incredibly beautiful country. Very comfortable way to travel if you have the time and the patience.  Driving straight through would take 12 hours.  Driving is the Dutchman's style (I cannot even see him enduring a train ride!  enduring it would be for him!) and due to his workschedule, he arrived in Ogden on the morning of the birthday party.  Loved it that he was able to be there! 

happiness is a bounce house!

jumping was the best....until she discovered the slide!
