Somebody needs to wake me up. Maybe I really should try that coffee thing. If I didn’t know better, I would think that the two men we hired to do the drywall in our addition just pulled up in a truck, entered my house and began–get this– putting up drywall.

June 26th, 2006 My dear brother David and I are moon twins, or Irish twins, as some people like to call it. This just means that we were born less than 1 year apart. When we were kids, I thought this was fabulous. It’s every younger sibling’s dream come true, isn’t it?
