not moving fast enough to put out the fire in my kitchen — luckily hubby Steve was there… Yes, this outlet used to be installed in my kitchen. It caught on fire when Steve and I were less than two feet away (thankfully!). I’m not sure why.

And I have been spending a lot of time at Little League games… Four kids, three teams…. I spend a LOT of time at games. I even have to miss some games because they are happening at the same time as other games. For instance, Saturday, Autumn has a game in Grayling and Justin has a game in Houghton Lake. Both happen around 10 a.m. Steve will go to one, and I will go to the other.

Plus, I have been chaperoning various end-of-year field trips. Last week I went to the Houghton Lake Historical Village with Justin. Tomorrow I’m going to bike around Mackinac Island with Maxine, and next Tuesday I will be going to Raven Hill Discovery Center with Justin. Autumn goes to Michigan’s Adventure June 5, but I won’t be going because it is also Maxine’s birthday. Here’s a picture of Justin and a friend standing on a Willow tree stump.

And I was able to watch Steve race last Friday night at Mt. Pleasant Speedway. Here are a few shots of him in the racecar — a late model.

I have also been pulling up the disgusting old carpet out of Justin’s room and organizing various in the house.

Oh, and I have been working too.

And now you know why I haven’t been blogging.

Thanks for playing.
