Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted
according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or
slow to do the humble work.

I am the proud mom to 6 kids: Natasha, 24, Nikolai, 20, Reese, 20, Maylee, 14, Erik, 10 and Violet, 7. The kids come from Russia, Ukraine and China; I'm so proud of my family sometimes I think I'll burst and I needed an outlet for it - so I've created this weblog. :o)
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

We made it!  We arrived at 12:30 today (at our hotel in Manassas, anyway) after a really nice and uneventful trip!  Our rental car FLEW down the highway, quietly and with a great a/c and we made it 2 hours faster than planned.  ;o)  No troubles at all.

Reese requested that we NOT go to DC today for a "preliminary quick look" as he wanted to get settled in and take his third, fourth, and probably fifth nap of the day.  He's still recovering from wrestling camp, I guess.  That's okay.  There is a TERRIFIC shopping area very nearby and so we'll look for a cord for my camera, look for another pair of shorts or two for him, and eat "lupper" (lunch/supper).  Reese eyed several restaurants (he's amazingly good at that) that he would like to eat at.  So I guess our adventures begin tomorrow!  :o)  Hopefully, I'll have a camera cord by then and hopefully we'll make our 9:30 Capital building tour and I'll have bunches and bunches of pictures to share!  :o)  I love pictures.

Not too exciting of a report for today, but I want to blog each day about our adventures, and that was today's entry!  ;op

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
