Life is good.  I lost my medical insurance again and am broke like
usual but the worst thing I could think of the other day that was
happening to me was the fact that I had a really bad case of chapped
lips.  Lol  As always the other stuff will eventually work out but
those dadgum lips are killing me.  I.ve got chapstick in every pocket,
counter, purse and tabletop that I can think of.

Anyway, other topics....I took my son driving the other day.  He is 15
and wants to drive really bad.  None of my other kids cared as much as
this one. Took him up on top of Horse Heaven Hills right out of Benton
City and on the way to Paterson, WA.  It's a wonderfully flat area with
lots of wheat fields and hardly any traffic.  We took a gravel road
that tooks us out there for miles along the fields.  He did wonderful.
He's going to make a pretty good driver.  He's cautious and yet
adventuresome.  Pays attention to detail,  keeps his eyes on the road
in front of him, keeps a nice even speed.  I was really impressed.  The
next day we took off towards Prosser.  This time we drove around in the
grape orchards and hops fields.  All in all he drove over 80 miles in
two days.  Talk about a heart attack waiting to happen.  He asked me if
he scared me with his driving.  I told him no, his driving was really
good.  It was just a mother thing.....lol  he just rolled his eyes.
Gotta love that kid.

Hope you are all doing well and are in good spirits.  I stayed home
today and played like I was a domesticated woman.  I cooked a ham, pea
soup, mashed potatoes and baked a bread (in the machine that is...hands
don't like to knead anymore), and nothing even scorched.  Like I said,
life is good!

Love ya all
