Of Good Report

So several weeks ago Destry burned music from iTunes onto five CD's to put in the Yukon.  He gathered a variety of genres from a variety of eras.  There are quite a few selections from the Carpenters and ABBA.  I enjoy listening to both.  They could be considered contemporaries , but I have never thought their styles were similar enough to be confused.  That is, until my children did.  Now whenever we get into the car and turn on the tunes we play a little game of "is this the Carpenter's or ABBA?"  Usually they get it wrong.  They are slowly getting better, but it has taken a long time.  Who knew?

Today could quite possibly have been called a perfect day.  I had a slow morning, followed by  getting some laundry started, cleaning the kitchen and mopping the floor and vacuuming the rest of the upstairs.  The little girls played together nicely, Spencer and Emma went to the blue barn together and Taylor and Zach Skinner hung out with their electronics (Zach's family went to Lake Powell for the weekend.  He wanted to go on the scout camp out Friday night instead of going to Lake Powell--what is wrong with him??, and his mother didn't want him to stay home alone for the rest of the weekend so she asked if he could stay with us.  Of course he could).  Destry worked for a couple of hours at the Oborne's on a small remodeling project they hired him to do.  I also had a nice visit with Renee who is homesick.  I am sad for her.  Her hubby is out of town again.  He has been working lots of overtime since they got to Alaska.  Renee and the girls have made some nice friends, but
