Super Rachel Zana's Spot

The Banana and Ya Ya were enjoying their supper outside on the deck. I was inside feeding Squirmy. The Banana:  Well, pee on me, Ya Ya! Ya Ya:  What? The Banana:  Pee on me. Ya Ya:  What did you just say? The Banana:  PEE ON ME!  Ya Ya, it’s another…

Here is everyone in the family who was home this morning on the couch together, even the cat!  The Banana was playing with the “little toucher” otherwise known as Dr. Peds’ ipod.  Dr. Peds was looking up something on the ipad.  Squirmy was being his squirmy self.  And the phone…

I’ve been wanting to go to this beach all summer.  We will be going back to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.  It was beautiful.  The sand was terrific for playing in too.  The crisp evening air was calm and refreshing.  Lake Superior happened to be calm.  The sunset was amazing.…

It’s beautiful EVERYWHERE you look this week.  I love it!  Every day I’ve been trying to get out in the neighborhood just a little bit to enjoy the amazing trees and foilage.  All the hillsides are radiating, and there are some amazing views of the deep blue lake sparkling down…
