Hmm, well here I am.

A Friday off! Today Dr. Hackel had to go do Medicare hours in Lincoln soooo, I had the day off:) It was nice. I quilted and played some games on the computer with the kids.

Quinn had a burger and it reminded me how much I love their burgers, with the bun nice and toasted! YUMMY! I like their ice too;) Tomorrow it is up and at em pretty early. I'm heading to North Platte with Tim and Clara and we need to be there by 8am:S Hats off to a day of fun. Alissa
