Yes, I must do those exercises! Thanks for reminding me Alffe and Kittens! My legs and heal still ache - but getting better!

I love living vicariously through you Alffe - those sound like wonderful shows to see when you're again in NYC!

I'm looking out at sunshine - I hope to have a swim after my job ... in the early afternoon. I'm trying to arrange friends getting together this weekend, too... is a long weekend here in Canada.

Kittens - ah, sorry to hear about your little one's past... but knowing that she's in your good hands will certainly make her life what it should be.

I have a great suggestion if its a sunny day - give her a little bucket of water with food colour and a paint brush... and let her paint the fence! or her swing set.... lol... used to keep my kids busy! I'm sure there are tons of fab ideas on the internet...

I save the styro containers from the grocery store - I thread a large needle with yarn and then I show Grand-Addy (she's almost 3) how to sew!!
I also save big pieces of cardboard (sometimes you can find huge boxes by your recycle place) - and let her decorate it with crayon, glue fabric on pretend windows... make a tent... whatever she can come up with...

have fun being a kid again!
