Grandma's 79th birthday party

Hi. Leo finally showed me how to do this!!!
It's Grandma's party at my house. Everyone is here. Lots of kids and lots of food. Pictures will be coming soon, Leo says.

Speaking of birthdays and anniversaries...

During this week:
Patrick and I celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary on the 11th.
Andrew and Grandma have a birthday on the 12th.
George turns 65 on March 15th.

What a busy week for celebrations!

Running a 21-miler this morning

In preparation for a marathon at the end of this month, I'm running 21 miles this morning.

It's 2:28 a.m. and I've had 2 hrs sleep ... I'm about to bandage my nipples and put Vaseline all over my crotch ... it's so early the crickets are sleeping ... I'm seriously questioning my sanity.

Should be fun.

Wish me luck!

Leo

Megan's real estate quest

OK, I like real estate. We have bought three times and sold two times in the past 4 years. Just made an offer on a beautiful foreclosure in the south hills of Eugene. If any of you believe in The Secret, send some good vibes our way! Two years ago, the market was red hot, and the story is very different today. Lots of buying opportunities. John is scratching his head and is dreading the possible move. But it gives us a chance to clean out spice drawers and toy closets (As Leo says- simplifiy!) I'll let you know if our offer is accepted! Megan

Time to weigh in on elections

Anybody care to predict the elections? I like both the Democrats but would like to see Hillary win. Obama is good too. What do you guys think? Tell
