Over Labor Day weekend, I took The Girl and her friend Kyle to see Doe and Uncle Psh. Numbah One Son and Rainbow Shoes stayed behind because they had to work. We went camping, and had a great time. It was The Girl’s and my first time camping. Ever. I loved it, but The Girl’s not sure she likes the cold. Kyle is a joy to be around and this was her second trip to Vegas with us. Doe sure does love her some mountains, and Uncle Psh is pure magic with a camp fire.

On our last day, it was too windy to light a fire, so here’s Kyle trying to roast her marshmallow with Kevn’s Lighter. Believe it or not, she made it work!

Who: I’m Stack, a divorced mother of 3-Numbah One Son (20), Rainbow Shoes (17), and The Girl (13). Sometimes my sister Doe will contribute if she wants.
What: Something Shiny is my way of updating out of towners on what our gang is up to. I think it’ll mostly be Mom reading this, but who knows, maybe The Uncles and my Aunt Toot will stop by on occasion too.
Where: Somewhere in the Western US of A
When: Whenever I have something to say, which my mom would tell you is pretty much all of the time.
Why: Because I’m horrible at mailing (or e-mailing) pictures to my poor mother and all of the out of towners, and not a whole lot better at writing letters and e-mail. I sure wish this had been available when the kids were younger…..
How: How did I come up with the name Something Shiny? Doe, Rainbow Shoes, and I have ADHD, and have a combined attention span of approximately 17 seconds. Something Shiny is what we call anything that distracts one of us and takes us off topic. Trust me, it happens often, and without warning.
