It's Monday, April 2nd. My favorite cousin Willie is 39 today. A reminder that in six months time, it'll be my turn to age one year closer to 40. The house is finally quiet! Robbie, Aurora and I are feeling a little "hungover" from overkill on having too much fun with their older siblings and my eldest s on's best friend. We are taking time to just kick back, vegitate in front of the TV, letting the affects from a week long rollercoaster ride fade away. Right now, we're in denial that we miss the havoc whirling around the house when everyone invaded our peaceful dwellings.

Taking time to drive over the still snow covered pass over the Cascades, it was worth the stress of stupid drivers driving like maniacs because someone else is going to beat them to their destination. Every mother should have a mom in law like mine who takes time to spend with her grandchildren. She's where I go to when I need to recuperate, relax, in general catch up on my sleep. Instead of hearing all the whining, the arguing and "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!!" all day long while we visit her, I hear "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma!!" and the ocassional "Grandpa!" They forget why it was so important to tattle on each other or have the last word with each other. The haven Grandma creates makes a week seem like such a short time. But this is just a taste of what's to come this summer!

So I grudgingly came back home Friday night because the "Superbowl" of WWE was on yesterday, Wrestlemania. Saturday was spent procrastinating on unpacking which was finally finished that night. It's just too bad I had to go shopping for yesterday's bbq otherwise I could've had it done earlier. ahahahahah! Right!

Hurray! It was great to see everyone work together and willing to help out when it was time to get ready for me to set up station at the grill. I had more prep cooks to know what to do with. My great Sous chef (my eldest son) stepped up to bat like he always does and helped keep the kitchen running smoothly and making sure my orders were followed out. In the end, we had little clean up, great food, even greater company to join us, John Cena kept his title, and I don't have to cook lunch today. Then the reality of home life will kick in as soon as the older kids get home from school today. <sigh> Two and a half months to go enduring the daily rut...uh? I mean routine! School will be out in June and once again I'll be MIA because I'll be outside enjoying the heat and sun of summer. Even more now that I've got a gas grill, a new tent, a bigger rig to be packing everyone in, books to read out in the sun, a yard to keep improving on every year. Who knows? The aftermath of Spring break might inspire me to have a garden this year.

Book list


	A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway He has a way of capturing your imagination and taking you to all the places he writes about. One of my favorite authors.

	A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith My favorite book and one of my favorite movies. One you'd have to read to understand why instead of me trying to describe it.

	For My Daughters by Barbara Delinsky Another of those mother/daughter stories just about any woman can relate to but I enjoyed it. My Mom read and then gave it to me. She doesn't recommend many books so you know it's got to be good.

	Hannibal by Thomas Harris I seem to find the books I like are also the movies I love just as much. This one really roped me in....will Hannibal get caught? Will he die? Gave me shivers!

	Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris Haven't got to read it yet but watched the movie. I know it has to be great as the other three.

	Red Dragon by Thomas Harris Was not the first glimpse at Hannibal for me. Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal did not the hair on my neck stand down when I got to see both movies of Red Dragon. Reading the book makes it even more better.

	Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris When the movie first came out, I saw it with my brother late at night. Theater only had one other person in it. Scared me so good, my ex- mother in law bought me the book about 7 years ago.

	The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan If you've ever had a hard time bridging the gap with your mother, this is the book for you. Trying to adapt to today's society & your family still follows a lot of their traditions regardless your culture, easy to connect with this book.

	The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

When the River Ran Wild! by George W. Aguilar Sr. Indian traditions on the Mid-Columbia River and Warm Springs Reservation. My grandma, Evangeline is quickly mentioned.
