Ladybugs are Awesome

Happy Labor Day Holiday Weekend!

Just when I thought I would do nothing this weekend. I was asked to watch my grandsons tomorrow. My son and DIL have to work. I am already planning activities to bring for the boys to do and books I have at home to take with me to read to my grandsons. They are ages 2 and 4. I have a great new Family Circle issue for October 2012 that I will bring too. That I will leave for my DIL to read.

Please be kind to a ladybug!

Lately I have been not feeling well so I haven't been online much. I feel like I just lost the whole end of this summer, the month of August that is due to Paxil withdrawal. The temperatures are cooling down and the humidity is much lower. It feels so nice outdoors early morning and late evening especially. I am looking forward to Fall. Maybe even Winter it is so pretty when the snow falls.

Some nice internet sites to explore just for you~
