Hey Yacht. glad to see you back here. Tho I am exhausted just reading what all has been going on with you this summer taking care of 3 grandkids.
Yes I got your email, and once again am far behind in responding to my friends. I am so sorry.
I know how super proud you are of Dustin, and all he does with Rick Springfield. Its been great to see pictures and hear him on videos.

I never heard of Chicago Cutlery, but sounds its a good thing there isn't one here! I'd stay broke and need another house for storage. LOL. I'm nearly at that point now.

I sure hope the hurricane isn't going to affect you guys.
Or any of our gang. Sounds so scary.
We had the fun (NOT!) of a REALLY record breaking day, 117 here. 13 degrees above normal for Aug. No relief till early next week they say. Thank heavens for air conditioning.

hugs, Karen

Yachter, Glad you are back. Like Karen, I'm exhausted just reading about your summer. Have fun in Malibu.

Yachter' good to hear from you, we have been missing you; but sometimes life just gets to busy be able to keep up with everything, doesn't it. I know you are so proud of Dustin, and with good reason. How excited you must be. Take care and check in anytime you get a chance, Janet

You are one busy lady!!! So glad you stopped by to let us know what's going on in your life. Sounds like everything is positive and I couldn't be happier for you and yours. Be sure and let us know what Dustin's songs are so we can listen to them on our iPhones.

Hope you share some puppy pictures with us.

Good to hear from you & lookin' forward to your t'scapes w/those new bargains! Sounds like a WONDERFUL summer...& yes, sliding by so quickly! Life is good (in your neck of woods, too!) Jeanne S.

So good to "hear" such happiness in your post. Very busy, but with fun things! Know those puppies are the sweetest little things--don't know how you can part with them! That is so great that Dustin is getting so much exposure and getting his songs recorded too! You have a right to be a proud Gma. ;o)

Although it sounds like everything is positive, it truly is not. The devil spawn woman continues to throw her evil darts at us, and the court system here moves at a snails pace.

We try to not dwell on it & let it ruin everything for Dustin, he's had enough heartache & deserves some happiness in his life.

He was just featured in a magazine article this past week too. He's turned into a wonderful young man, is not conceited at all & works hard for what he's achieved.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Probably won't be back on here til after Malibu, I have a full schedule of "To Do's" til we leave.

A good friend of ours was here visiting & took a few pics of the pups, check them out.

Adorable puppy pictures. Who could pass one of them up? Hope your trip is a fun one. So happy for Dustin! He must take after his dad's side of the family, thank Goodness.

Oh my! Those pics just 'melt your heart,' don't they! Hard to think about how much work a puppy is! LOL! TFS, yacheter! & kudos to Dustin, too! Jeanne s.

Punk, his songs are "Body Bag" (younger people like this one, message is for teens or anyone not to give up on life) and the other is "I Can't Do Anything For You" (some Rick influence in the sound of this one). Dustin wrote both of them, words & music.

Here is a link that will take you to his songs
