GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

Last week I posted about problems with our thermostat, which resulted in the air conditioning running all night. The good news? The thermostat is OK. The bad news? We had to get a new furnace.

THE END OF AN ERA

It was our weekend to attend musicals. Yesterday afternoon we watched Bentley's musical at Christ Lutheran School. On FRI evening we watched Hadley's musical at Trinity Lutheran. Since she's a 5th grader & will be headed to middle school next year, this was the last musical or concert that we will attend at Trinity. We've been attending musicals & concerts there since Brianna was in pre-school. Yes, we were a little sad.

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

Last night we watched the last episode of Season 13--the current season--of Heartland. That's right. We've watched 13 full seasons. And now we have to wait until next month before we can start watching the new season, Season 14. Bummer.

KISSING

"A single kiss involves as many as 30 facial muscles. And while it's not exactly cardio, kissing can burn calories (2-6 per minute, with more passionate sessions burning up to a total of 26).

CATS

"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." Ditto
