Last Thursday was a busy day. Leah was in and out all morning getting ready for her trip and running last minute errands. Something mysterious happened.
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
Dustin had just come back from somewhere and was ready to go meet his mom when Leah noticed an envelope had been shoved into the door.
It had a label taped onto the front that read: Darrington Family.
It contained $60.
Whoever left said envelope has incredible timing and is unbelievably sneaky considering Leah was just on the other side of that door moments before.
Dustin was going to collect money from his mom for Scott's t-ball raffle. Thought she might be in a hurry and dropped it by. Dustin called his mom. she confirmed it was not her.
Leah felt sick to her stomach trying to figure out who would do such a thing.
Dustin told her to just stop.
Leah is so very grateful.
So very, very grateful.
I guess some mysteries will never be solved. We are so blessed and feel so loved so, Thank you!

I'm back from my trip. So much fun. We left out Thursday and my sister's hub drove us to California while I sat in the back to tend to the chilin's. It was really nice to be chauffeured around and I took advantage of nearly every opportunity to not drive.We got all checked into our hotel and hit the hay. In the morning we'd be going to the Happiest Place on Earth...Disneyland.
Here are some great things about Disneyland, some newly discovered.
asparagus wrapped in bacon
beignets
mint juleps
popcorn
coke (yes, I said it! It's better at Disneyland. Ask anyone!)
banyan beef
dole whips and dole floats
caramel apples
Mark Twain's riverboat
We had a lot of great treats and the park wasn't crowded at all so we got on a lot of rides considering how many times I parked myself to feed Archer and people watch. The park closed at 8 thank goodness because I don't think i could've been on my feet any longer. Scott wanted to ride the train so at the end of the night we rode it back to Main street station. oh I wish everyone could've seen his face when we went past the dinosaurs. incredible! and watching Scott at Disneyland. oh be still my heart!! 5 is just the perfect age. i spent nearly the entire day with Paige, Scott, and archer while Madison and Karley went off by themselves with their cousins.
I love Disneyland. I LOVE Disneyland. It was so nice to be there with my family and try new things. I feel really lucky that we could go.

My Dad is 60 yrs. old
Wow! I know there are AT LEAST 60 things I love about my Dad. I'd list them but not tonight. When I was a kid 60 seemed so old yet my Dad doesn't seem old to me. When I was 20, 30 seemed old, but it's not! Just goes to show I'm getting older too.
We're celebrating at the end of this month in California. I can't remember the last time we went to California. Oh yeah, last year sometime but Dustin and I were just reminiscing about our many, many trips to California when we were just youngins and our kids were really little youngins and we'd go to Cali. for the weekend at the drop of a hat. Those days are over and it's much harder to get away now. Anyway, back to my Dad. We're partying at Knott's Berry Farm's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. If you haven't had Mrs. Knott's famous fried chicken, well, then you simply haven't lived. It is SO good. Like, last-meal-on-Earth good! My brothers are coming in from Texas and Utah and my sister's coming from New Mexico. The rest of us are traveling from Vegas. I'm looking forward to it. I could use a little mini vacation.
