Avoid Windshield Damage

While driving home today from Rexburg, I drove through construction. Naturally. It's everywhere. I was amused to see the following sign during some of the construction zone..."Avoid Windshield Damage." Now, how is one supposed to avoid damaging a windshield during a drive through a construction zone? I suppose I should change careers and become a stunt woman. That way I can cleverly (and safely) jump onto the hood of my car with a bat of some sort and protect my windshield from damage. "Oh, the irony... 'Loose gravel'...'Avoid windshield damage.'" Those were the thoughts running through my head as a couple rocks met my windshield up close and personal. Luckily, I was able to avoid windshield damage.

Now, the reason I was in Idaho...my sister-in-law gave birth to a little boy about 5 days ago. I went there to stay with their other kids while she and my brother were in the hospital. I had a blast. My nieces and nephews are such fun. I was regaled with tales of Pokemon, Harry Potter, and Ben 10. I played a lovely new version of Connect 4 with my 2 1/2 year old niece. I played several games of Blokus and made several DQ runs...mmmm....icecream treat!

My nephew safely arrived and he's a cutie. His brothers and sisters are fascinated. They love to hold him and when they can't do that, they want to look at him and hold his baby fingers in their hands. New babies are fun!

Now I am home and I really miss them.
