If you somehow missed the massive amounts of publicity, Barbara Walters has written a new book called “Audition” . Along with the details of her growing up, her career achievements, all the drama about Starr Jones and Barbara’s affair with a married congressman, Barbara writes about her sister with a cognitive disability.

OK, this is really just an excuse to post a photo of my children!
We went to Hidden Lake Gardens on Sunday, which is a nature conservatory type place a little less than an hour away. Its so pretty and peaceful. The kids had a great time just enjoying the scenery, checking out the walking paths, [...]
I took the kids to a High School Musical party at our local library tonight. Our community theater group is putting on a HSM performance in a couple weeks, and they’re visting local venues and events, practicing a couple songs and promoting the upcoming shows.

I hope everyone has at least a little sun shine through today. It really helps after this looooong winter. I truly despise gray snow and brown grass. : (
