Thank you, Kathy. I appreciate your kind words and your friendship. I've been saving my blogs to my hard drive as full web pages. One day when they are older I will let them know about the backup DVDs that I have been burning for them. :-)

Mel, you have burned an impression into my heart. Thank you, sweetie! With much love, C.

Thank you, C Sally C. I enjoy blogging about the boys and hanging out with everyone on and off line. :-)

Virginia, your kindness warms my heart. Thank you. :-)

Thank you, Paddy. You enjoy your day as well, sweetie. Love, C. :-)

Gary, I am with you 100% on that. :-)

Lisa, thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. I know that I love getting to see your vacation picks and learning about your neck of the woods. Looking forward to coming for a visit. Love, C.

Thank you, Lizette. I adore your blog, love you, and your kindness means a lot to me. Mike is back at work but we will be taking another vacation together shortly. He will complete his 20 years with the City of New York 2-16-09 so he plans to stop working around 12-20-08 to run out his vacation time, which should last up until April 2009. Yay!

I, in the meantime, will be getting a lot of road trips in because I like running around visiting with the little minions and will probably start flying around to visit people on the West Coast in March. I'm hoping to get to see you during the Fall 2008 break (if I can clear my schedule with my first cousin's) and have my eyes set on TX for Nov. We shall see... The girls and I have scoped out Bennett House on-line. It's absolutely lovely! We are taking that puppy over when we come to KY bay-bay. I'm expecting lots of eye candy and foodie paradise spots for our list of things to do between your RE appointments (LOL). I also expect to take you over completely for at least one day. Seriously!  :-)

Kristin, thank you. I appreciate your kind words and am looking forward to having a great friendship with you. I am very happy that you accepted our invitation. :-)

Thank you, Barbara. That's so sweet of you! I really hope the little minions do not wreck your place when we come over on our play date. :-D

Jane, thank you. I appreciate your kind words and look forward to learning about your children through your blog. I enjoy when the kids get to come along, but that is not always possible. Spend as much time as you can with your boys for they will grow up oh so quickly... My little people are very self directed (LOL). They give the concept of "independence" a whole new meaning for me. :-)

Susan, thank you. That was very kind.

Jesse, thank you for giving me a new perspective on it. I've a lot more to think about and so many options to choose from to keep them interested in what it is that I am doing. :-)

Deb, I absolutely love that you started Diary of a Realtor. What a neat concept. You are a huge influence on me. Thank you for being my friend, you are such a sweetie! Looking forward to when we can get together and have lots of girl talk over some really good food. My household is into Tex Mex, among a long list of other foodie paradise concoctions! :-)

Lisa F, thank you. I appreciate your kind words and friendship. :-)

Mana, thank you! :-)

Thank you, Becky. Your kind words are really appreciated. You and your family are such sweeties! I can't wait for us to get together. :-)

Thank you, Raylene. What a touching compliment. Very much appreciated. :-)

Thank you, Cathy. You are very welcome. :-)

Thank you, Big Mike. I love your perspective on the matter. :-)

Thank you Carole, I appreciate your kind words. I'm so glad C Sally C is doing this contest. I have read some truly lovely sentiments. The entries are all awesome! :-)

June, thank you for your kind words, they are very much appreciated. I am glad that you enjoyed the post. I love sharing thoughts about my boys. :-)

C Sally C, thank you. The little people are something else. They make me want to be a kid again. They can find so much to giggle about and enjoy. It's wonderful seeing the two of them get along. However, when they go into minion mode, oh my word - my boys give a whole new meaning to the term, "partners in crime." (LOL)

Lindsey, thank you. It will certainly be interesting to watch and experience, indeed! I know my mom and dad are still amazed at the way technology is evolving. Who knows what is in store for us to be fascinated and amazed about. ;-)

Elizabeth, thank you. I really do appreciate your kind words. Enjoy your day. Regards, C.

Jane, thank you. I pray that God will bless you with your own little ones some day. Children certainly make life very interesting. (LOL)

Lindsey, I know what you mean. Truly amazing, indeed... :-)

Brian, that would certainly have given history a new twist, wouldn't it? ;-)
