So Many Blogs, So Little Time

O.M.G.

My blogwatch says there are 14 new blog posts for me to read.  So many good blogs, so little time.  At the moment I am blogging this via the wonders of email.  Here's a few catch-up items:

1.  The Judge in Kandy's case was overwhelmed with requests for jury leniency.  He said that he had never seen so many applications from prospective juries to be released.  Well, goodness - it's the beginning of summer!  What is he thinking?  Fortunately, Kandy listed all her reasons, not the least of which was the plane tickets to Ohio leaving the day before the trial start date - and the judge let her go.  Yippeee!

2. The garden is really coming together.  Still lots of work to do in the rose garden.

3. It felt like we spent the entire weekend in the car.  Drove up Pacific Coast Highway (pictures later) past Jenner to Ft. Ross.  The girls enjoyed that, but we neglected to find a sandy beach that far north.  We should have stopped at Bodega Bay for them to swim... Did you know the PCH is full of hairpin turns?

4. Of course, we ended up taking the scenic route as in, "No Megan, we're not lost.  We know where we are, we just aren't quite sure how to get there.

5. 1500 feet from Ft. Ross Megan says, "I'm not feeling good."  (Did I mention the hairpin turns?)  1200 feet from Ft. Ross Megan can't hold it in anymore.  There's nothing like the sound of a kid up-chucking in the car.  1000 feet from Ft. Ross I can finally pull over - just in front of the sign that says we're 1000 feet from our destination.  Wonder Woman Kandy jumps out at gets Megan out of the car, but not before there is vomit all over the floor, her pants & shoes, the seat, and Katie cringing away on the far side of seat (not one of her best moments).

6. Excitement over.  On to Ft. Ross. 

7. Eventually head to Guerneville (a very gay-friendly town) for very late lunch.  Wandered into a few shops, one wasn't appropriate for kids, quickly ushered them out.  Another was a hemp store.  Megan got a great marionette puppet, Katie and Kandy got a couple of hemp bracelets with beads. 

8. Back home.  I am beginning to hate driving.

That was our weekend. 

How was yours?
