May 12 of 12 v3.0

It is that time of the month again! It's time for 12 of 12 as conceived by Chad Darnell. You can check out his site for the rules and lots of other 12 of 12'ers.

So, on to my day....

Early....very early. I turned over and saw that it was the 12th, so I took a picture!

Travel books that I want to return/exchange. I never went to New York and my France trip has turned into a Spain trip, so I want to exchange them for books on Spain and what to do in Barcelona and Madrid.

My needs to be packed into the suitcase pile on my daybed...just waiting to pack a little closer to Thursday.

Barnes & Noble...the site of the aforementioned desire to exchange.

Generations signifies family to me so I took this picture of my younger (I can't exactly say little anymore since he almost has a full foot on me...) brother and his three beautiful children. Alexis is just about seven (on April 24), Jennifer is two months old and Kevin just turned three. I was fortunate to visit the same weekend that my brother came home from Iraq on leave.

April 12 of 12 v.3.0

So I come to you from Manhattan, KS tonight. I'm visiting my sister-in-law and my neices and nephew. My brother is due home on leave from Iraq tomorrow, so I'll have to come back and edit the post later for the usual information. All credit goes to Chad.

The view from my neice's bed...that's my brother and her when she was about 3...
