Garden Spider Lays Eggs

We found a garden spider on our house recently and she was getting very fat. We thought it was because she made her web below a light which attracted lots of bugs. However, she soon produced an egg sack. She looked quite exhausted afterward.

Facebook??

I recently joined facebook. I wanted to know what my kids and others found so intriguing about this media communication tool. I know it has been around for a while but I've never had any interest until now. I kind of like it. I must say it makes me feel older than I am. So far, all of my friends are younger than me.

Tee and Phillip move in together

Our house has one less adult as of yesterday. Phillip is now our second son to move out of the house. He has moved in with his older brother Tee and a few college buddies. I can see the excitement on his face. Oh and like any parent, I also listen to pieces of his conversations while he is talking on the cell phone.

Beth is a little bummed and so am I but I know he is past the point where he needs to move. Their other roommates are great guys and seem to be good influences. We are very fortunate that he and his older brother are only minutes down the road. However, "Phillip and Tee, if and when you read this, I hope you know, when you need to do laundry, have a craving for a home cooked meal or just want to have a conversation with Mom and Dad, your welcome home anytime"....." just call first".
