Lean in and Grab it

Those are the words of our friend Dyan who is famous in our family for other quotable bits such as Crush him like a dog or Focus, focus, focus. And this time she exhorted Kate to lean in and Grab it. I like these mantras and find Dyan's passion amazing. She was our first guest over the 4 day weekend, with trips to the park with Murray first up on the agenda and it was %#&^cold and the snow had frozen into thick sheets of ice which gave me a sense of what the Antartic might look like. And it's still cold here. Yikes.

We got Kate a keyboard and she is as happy as the proverbial clam. My negotiation was that she would give me all her money, all $20 and then give Murray a bath every week until May. Actually she made some money yesterday helping Joe Gately baby sit and he gave her some money!
