Tagged and Thawing Out!

I just got back from Utah. I froze, but everyone kept saying "Lovely weather we're having, don't you think?" They weren't kidding! I thought they were all crazy. I wore my warmest coat and layers of sweaters. Wow! I sure have thin blood!

I was able to stay one night with Daughter #1 and her husband and see their first home. It's very nice and cozy and cute. Now....let me ask you something. Do you see something wrong with this picture? I see it. Look closely. Yes, that's right. It's a clean kitchen. It's Daughter #1's clean kitchen. The whole house was clean and neat and tidy! This is the home of a daughter who I could never get to do the dishes or make her bed or clean her room. She's really grown up. Typical, isn't it? When our children have to keep their own houses clean (and not Mom and Dad's), they will do it. We really enjoyed our visit. They are happy. And they don't think it's so cold up there.

Now I'm back and thawing out and counting down until Daughter #2's wedding. Now it's panic time!

But first...a meme. (and it's a meme with links, too!)

I was tagged by Jody, The Carolina Quilter, so here goes:
