Oh, good. Glad Grace's week is improving. My poor kiddo.
Ok, I have to wait how many more weeks to plop them in my arms and dissolve?!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Amazingly Grandma had spinal surgery on her neck a couple of weeks after the babies were born. She's recovered so well that she is up and moving and able to survive a 1000 mile drive AND she gets to hold the babies!
Sometimes the similarities between K's dad and mine freak me out.

Oh, sarameg, I meant to say earlier that I hope your kitty is okay. Sick pets are just heartbreaking.

sara, less than a month... so around 4 weeks exactly. By then Noah and Grace will be old hat and being the same room together. They look a little alike and yet are so very different looking.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm SO happy for the Noah and Grace reunion (even if he is distracted by the paparazzi), and K's mom is made of win.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, good Grace news, yay! And cutiehead pictures! Excellent.

Kristin, thanks. I try not to be crazy lady, but...they're my responsibility. I gotta fix 'em.
Kat, that's too long! I know!
They look alike and yet...you threw one of them at me, I'd know which it was, immediately. Obviously sibs, but... Noah's HAIR. Grace's round, sweet head. Her jaws different They've both got the Cheeks, but they are shaped differently. It's amazing to me how far they've come. Cause they did look so much alike so freaking much earlier, even though their personalities and reactions differed. And now? They got their own bodies too!

They make similar faces and they both do this weird mouthbreather/tongue thing. Yet they are so different too. But I guess it's that they are obviously siblings and yet little self-contained own beings!

It's funny. As I was writing that, I thought of my brother (3.5 yrs separated) and I's similar habits. And where we got it. We both do this weird huffing thing through our noses, to name one. Our parents don't. Didn't learn that. Didn't teach that ( I didn't enjoy being a sib until...well, um..maybe I enjoyed it once before I recall, but didn't like it again until college.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It makes me wonder what that person was thinking.
They were thinking that underlining the spaces would be wasteful.
I've not had barbecue west of Little Rock
If you ever go west along I-40, I'm told the barbecue in Ozark is excellent. Never got around to trying myself, sorry to say.
In Fort Smith, try Jerry Neel's. The sauce is more the brown sugar and spices type, and is a nice match to their baked beans.
My Dad had a regular routine, just before he caught his flight out of Fort Smith he would stop by Jerry Neel's for some takeout. He would wait until the cabin attendants had served the drinks and the little packets of nuts, and then he would open the takeout sack and let the aroma fill the plane. He told me he gets some envious looks and some dirty looks, and he enjoys them thoroughly. I told him he's lucky to arrive alive.
Half an hour west of there, on the south side of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, is Wild Horse Mountain Barbecue. Their sauce is more the tomatoes and onions type, and their ribs are more like chops. Heavenly.
Kansas City barbecue hasn't impressed me. Gates's sauce is bitter, and while the meats at Arthur Bryant's are pretty good, the sauce is nothing special.
