| A beautiful day in the neighborhood... |
| 03.05.08 (1:36 pm) [edit] |
We had a beeeeeeeeutiful day this past Sunday, so I was able to get a out with Lexy and do some things. Here's a few pictures we snapped
Mimi chasing Lexy on her bike.

| 02.15.08 (3:57 pm) [edit] |
We're BACK! We had a nice little vacation or long weekend in Nashville :) We celebrated by eating too much...Isn't that the way it always is when you're traveling? On our return home it started snowing just as we hit Henderson, KY. That was soon followed by ice, freezing rain and more snow. It made for awful driving and as luck would have it, my daughter who lives in Florida was on her way home to see me. She got stuck in KY overnight. The great meltdown has begun and it sounds like a bowl of rice krispies out there now. It was beautiful while it lasted.
Well, Baby bean, as it turns out is a BOY! Woot! He's perfect and Kristin is doing well. Tonight we're meeting our youngest daughter's new boyfriend, who is in the airforce. I'm excited about meeting him and I know our daughter is pleased that he flew all the way to Indiana to meet us.
That's pretty much it I guess...It seemed exciting when I was thinking about it..haha
Love and Light

| Sneaking In.. |

Hello :)
It's been over 2 months since I've posted and for that I'm sorry. Life has been fine really, nothing keeping me from posting, I've just not been in the mood.
One bit of bad news..my little Peanut was hit by a car and killed on January 2. I'd grown to love my little furkid so much that I was truly devastated by it. I still miss him and cry at night when I'm going to sleep. I've always been an animal lover, but I never knew I would bond so quickly with this little guy. He went with me everywhere I could take him. We even dressed him up and took him to all our family functions at Christmas and he was a huge hit! Everyone that met Peanut loved him. I had turned him into my baby. He loved me too.
Seeing how upset and depressed I was, my Father put a deposit down on an unborn puppy, a Yorkie. At first I wasn't thrilled about it. I felt guilty. Now I'm getting a bit eager for the little thing to come home!
She was born January 25. She won't be able to come home until late March or early April. I'll post pictures when she's home.
Our holidays went well. One of my favorite memories of Christmas '07 is Lexy opening a mermaid Barbie I bought for her and saying "Mimi, it's a zacly what I wandded" She's 3, she still has that "cute talk" I love that about her!
Baby bean is growing and Mama is doing well for the time being. (our daughter Kristin and her baby bump) Kristin has been hospitalized 4 times in the last 3 months. She's been so sick and gone into very early labor twice. She isn't due until July. Keep a good thought for her and baby bean.
Tony and I will be married 20 years the 19th of this month. We're taking our annual mini vacation. We're headed to Nashville this year. I've scheduled a couples massage for us :) We have a few other plans but will mostly wing it.
I need to get around to see all my friend's blogs here. I've missed you all. A special shout out to Cutter and ggirl.
And to surrogate, Lori, FinallyFree, FlowerLady, Mimi, Pirate Girl, Emerging and damnit, I know I've forgotten some and I'll be kicking myself for naming names....I've missed you all.
Take Care everyone.

| I wish.. |
| 12.02.07 (6:02 pm) [edit] |
I could think of something interesting to blog about but my life, I guess is pretty dull. Not that, that's a bad thing by any means, it just doesn't make for good blogging material.
Today is Dec. 2 and it's was a balmy 67 degrees! Now dang it, I'm ready for some of the white stuff that everyone else is getting. Yes, I'm a big fan of summer but, if it isn't going to be sunny and the grass isn't green, I want to be a snow bunny. Lexy just called me to make sure she could stay with me when her Mommy is in the hospital having the baby. The baby isn't due until July but, she had to make sure Mimi would be available. That put a smile on my face. Of all the folks she could stay with, she wanted to stay with me.
When I asked her what she wanted Santa to bring her for Christmas, she said "ummm, I don't know." Quickly changing the subject she said, "will you come see my Christmas tree right now, Mimi?" Bless her heart. She doesn't understand that we live nearly an hour away and I can't just make those impromptu visits like I'd like to. She's really wanting a baby sister and everyone else is rooting for a boy. At least someone will get their wish :) She told her cousin that he could have the baby if it's a boy! I think Mommy and Daddy might have something to say about that. I think I have about half of my Christmas shopping done and for whatever reason, I don't have the overwhelming urge to get it done in any big hurry. Usually I'm scrambling and in a panic by now. I'm feeling pretty laid back about all of it this year and glad of it. The tree is up and the house is decorated. I've been walking around humming Christmas carols. I even got caught doing a little jig in the grocery store today to the music being piped in. Dang, I thought I was alone in the cookie isle. Guess I should really look around before I start shaking and wiggling!

| Merengue |
| 11.21.07 (3:31 pm) [edit] |
Stupid Question
Can I store pies with merengue on them in the fridge? Or will it make the merengue weep? AKA Runny..
My brother requested chocolate pie with merengue and it actually turned out very good :) I had to get out the propane torch to brown the top but, what the hey, right? :)
No worries, I made a call to my MOM!
In the fridge it goes!

I haven't written anything here in quite a while and even though I really have nothing post worthy, I feel the need to let you all know I'm still alive.
For a while after the wedding I was beat. I mean beat right down into the ground. I think I spent more time in bed than I did out of it. BUT What's been keeping me away more recently is the fact that I'm feeling GOOD! HOORAY! Not "non-MS" good but, I'll take it anyday! I'm thinking more clearly, I'm not wall walking and most importantly I feel like and want to do things! Weeeeeeeeee!
I was honestly starting to think there would never be a good day again but, lo and behold there are still good days left in me. Hubby and I found out last night we are going to be grandparents again! Our second daughter is expecting her second baby. This will be Lexy's new baby brother or sister. If you're keeping count, this will be grandchild #5! So far we have 2 girls and 2 boys, so this one will be a bonus, whatever gender it is. Personally, I'm hoping for a boy but, will be happy w/ whatever we're given. I really just want a healthy baby. My little Peanut is doing well and is like our child. I have new pictures of him (our little Yorkie) and I'm going to post them, just as soon as I get around to it. I'm sorry to all my friends here. Even though I haven't been to your blog lately, I think of you all often. I hope everyone is well.

| The Countdown! |
| 10.08.07 (5:56 am) [edit] |
The countdown is on! Geez Louise, I've been helping my daughter plan this wedding for months and now, here we are in the final week before the wedding. My youngest daughter arrived from Florida last night and other out of town guests will be trickling in this week. I think I'm right on track to having everything done.. Good Heavens I keep having to remind myself that everything will be fine and even if it's not, who will know but me? I mean unless there's some huge catastrophe and I refuse for that to happen! Send positive thoughts our way :)

After a couple months of very little rain, we're making up for lost time. It is absolutely pouring right now.
My poor little dog is soaked to the bone, from trying to take a potty break outside. What do you do with an indoor dog on days like this?
In other news...there's no news :) Have a GREAT DAY!

| R.I.P. GMan |
| 09.25.07 (7:20 am) [edit] |
I've been a member of a particular MS message board for about 7 years now. There was a man from Canada who was also a member and a very strong presence on the board. His MS was very aggressive, in the 7 plus years that I knew him, he was bedridden.
No matter how tough things were for him, he always had a positive thought and a great sense of humor.
I found out this morning that he passed away earlier this month.
I'm caught between being happy for him that he's been released from the prison cell that was his body and being sad.
If anyone handled MS with finesse it was GMan.

| An email from my daughter |
| 09.21.07 (7:05 am) [edit] |
My youngest daughter is visiting NY for the first time. I woke up to this email from her this morning.
Ahh! I LOVE this place! We are staying on 87th between Broadway and Amsterdam, that's right, not even half block of broadway. This area is bustling, people everywhere, we walked for about four hours tonight and, no exaggeration, probably passed about 250 resto.s and 600 storefronts. Ate at Cafe Con Leche on the sidewalk and had the most AMAZING paella and....ahem...assertive sangria. We are only three blocks west of Central Park and it seems to be even more amazing than I thought. We then hoofed it all the way down to 60th street where we stumbled upon Trump International Tower in this amazing intersection with a giant fountain and literally hundreds of people of all ethnicities. The architecture is amaing! I saw the most BEAUTIFUL church and am going to try to catch the service on Sunday. It is a Universalist Unitarian church. Sorry if my grammar is poor but I have never felt so invigorated by a place in my entire life. You have GOT to come here. Tommorrow we are going to the Museum of Natural History which we walked by tonight. It is where Night at The Museum was filmed. We may hit the guggenheim, but it depends on how long we are at the first museum. I havent really taken any photos yet as I was just too enthralled but I will tommorrow. I am thinking about going back out to Amsterdam as things seem to be picking up even more and I want to be a part of it. LOVE YOU

It seems the list of things that I have to do and buy for my daughter's wedding is never ending. Truly it could be never ending if I didn't just draw the line somewhere.
It puts me in the mind of Christmas. No matter how early I start, I'm never finished until the day comes and goes. I always see just one more thing that someone will like.
Tonight I wittled the list down to only an isle runner...I think? Hubby and I went out and bought a chocolate fountain, plates for the cake and cups for the punch, napkins, balloons and balloon weights. I received 3 boxes via Fed Ex today full of topiaries for the tables.
You should see my dining room! Which we now refer to as the wedding room. No kidding, it is stacked all along 2 walls with boxes full of wedding "stuff" and I haven't seen my dining room table since before July.
My dress is pressed and ready to be picked up from the dress shop. I got my shoes today. Hubby's suit is hanging in the closet ready to go. Now if I can just find a dog sitter for the day and pick up that isle runner, we'll be ready to go! I really think Peanut should be invited but, Ash doesn't agree with me :(
I've confirmed with the cake lady, the caterer, photographer, the minister and the invitations have been mailed. We received the first RSVP today.
We've already made a trip the reception site and measured everything.
I'm starting to get past being anxious and I'm down to being excited! :)
I can't wait to do the chicken dance *wink*
.

Uh, I almost forgot...we need ingredients for punch. Cups wouldn't do us much good without that now, would it? Oh crap, and drinks for dinner! ARGH! See, it's never ending.
Maybe nobody will be thirsty and we do have beer and champagne coming, so that should be good enough..ya think?
1 month and counting!

| Happy Labor Day and A New Friend! |
| 09.03.07 (7:19 am) [edit] |
Happy Labor Day!  Guess what? I got my puppy! Well, he's not a puppy. We think he's about a year and half or two years old. A little Yorkshire Terrior! Quite the little man he is. He weighs a whopping 4.5 lbs! He's very well behaved and house broken already.
His story goes something like this. A farmer was tending his crops down in the river bottoms when this poor little guy comes walking out of a corn field. His hair was matted and full of those coccoburrs (sp?) Eaten up with fleas and flea bites. The farmer took him home and put out the word that he had found this little guy and kept him for 2 weeks. Nobody came to claim him, so my daughter, Ashleigh told the farmer that I had wanted a Yorkie and now the rest will be history!
He has scabs and sores from his adventures in the river bottoms. The farmer and his wife had to cut his hair to get all the matted hair and coccoburrs out, so he looks a little scraggly right now but, he is just a sweetheart!
Hubby calls him Frumpkin ('cause we don't know where he come from) and son calls him Peanut. We all love him. He's smart and minds like a little soldier.
I was concerned about the time, expense and dedication it would take from me to care for this little guy but, I'm hooked and he seems right at home.
If I can get a good picture of him, I'll have to show him off later. He seems to be a little camera shy.

| Blow Out |
| 09.02.07 (4:41 pm) [edit] |
Yesterday when I was coming home from my daughter's bridal shower, my front passenger's side tire blew! *POP* Luckily for me, I had just turned on the road I live on and was going very slow. Hubby put on the little temp tire and while he was doing that, noticed that the steel belts were showing through on the other front tire and that I had a bulge, knot, bump whatever it's called on one of my back tires. Major bummer. So now he's off having 4 new tires put on my car. Something I wasn't planning since the tires aren't that old but, I didn't have them rotated every 5000 miles, so the warranty is null and void. I've nearly sucked our savings dry paying for the wedding....well, it just sucks. Oh well, we've been up against a whole heck of a lot worse than this before. I just hate things happening that aren't budgeted for. I guess that's true for everyone. I was just reading jjsmom's blog and see that she has PCOS. Both my daughter's have PCOS. My youngest is doing very well with it but, my oldest, not so much. Bless her heart. My heart goes out to jjsmom. After reading her blog, I'm more scared than ever for my girls. My youngest didn't have too many of the symptoms but, my oldest is a textbook case. The youngest leads a very healthy life-style and I think that has helped her tremendously but, maybe she's just lucky? The oldest is anything but healthy, she's the one getting married in Oct. I wonder if her husband to be even realizes what all the PCOS emcompasses? I kind of doubt it. MOODY, man o man is she ever moody! Even if you know what the cause is, sometimes it's hard to take. oops, getting a bit off track here. It's good to be back home at tblog...

| First Anniversary and other musings.... |
| 08.31.07 (7:42 am) [edit] |
Hey there in tblog land! Long time no post, eh? I had sort of migrated to shoutpost but, it seems it's dying a slow and painful death. I honestly didn't mean to desert my friends here at tblog. So...on with the show! Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of my blog. My first ever blog, right here on tblog. I sort of wandered in aimlessly and it stuck. I've met some incredible and some not so incredible people during my blogging time. I've made some wonderful friends along the way. What's going on with me you ask? Let's see... My baby boy and only son graduated HS in May and is now a freshman in college. My youngest daughter called off her engagement and has taken a new route in her education. My oldest daughter is getting married on October 13 and I've been up to my eyeballs in wedding preparations. I've been busy as all get out but, in more ways than not, I'm enjoying all the planning, prep and excitiment. I've honestly put way more thought into helping my daughter plan her wedding than I did my own. I think we're right on schedule with everything, now we're just down to the countdown. Tomorrow is her bridal shower. Seems like yesterday I was having my own bridal shower. Where did the time go? Before I start singing Turn! Turn! Turn!, I'm signing off. Have a GREAT Holiday weekend, I know I'm planning to. :)

| Enjoying the fruits of my labor |
| 05.29.07 (7:32 am) [edit] |
I haven't been able to get my thoughts together enough to post the past couple weeks but, I'm going to give it a whirl. Hopefully this past week, was the busiest week I'll have this summer and if not, I hope that whatever it is that causes the busy-ness, will just be FUN! I must say though, this past week has been a lot of fun. Our son graduated on Thursday and his graduation party was Sunday. Both were great! I woke up Sunday morning to find the electricity was out! We don't even have water with no electricity. That would have made for a very interesting day. It was back on by 6:30 AM, so my worry was for nothing. There was a huge turnout on Sunday. We served 70 hamburgers, 40 hotdogs, I lost count of how many pounds of potatoe salad I dished up, along with several other dishes and not a single piece of cake was left. AND thank heavens, the rain held off. It was a bit alarming a couple of times. The wind picked up and the sky looked as though it could open up and pour at any given moment. We only got a few sprinkles! I was so grateful :) Our neighbor who is a photographer showed up with his camera and took what felt like hundreds of pictures. Most of them were candid shots but, we did several family photos!! It's rare that all of our children are in the same place at the same time, so I was very happy that he did that for us. I can't wait to see the finished products! Between the home improvement projects, the ceremony, preparing food, keeping our 3 yr. old granddaughter for the weekend and then the party....I was pooped yesterday and had a self imposed day of rest! It was almost ruined by the cable being out. haha. Reading would have involved more effort that I was willing to give. I was saved at around 1 PM, so there was a lot of HGTV and Food Network on my bedroom television yesterday. My youngest daughter has returned to Florida, safe and sound. I feel like I barely got to visit with her while she was here but, she was able to spend more time with her friends than usual since I was tied up with other things. So that was good for her. I think my life will return to normal now...whew! I can just sit back and enjoy my clean windows :)

| My Mother's Day Weekend |
| 05.14.07 (2:28 pm) [edit] |
All things considered, I had quite a lovely weekend. Saturday was spent at the airfield with all of my kiddos, except one. My daughter who lives in Florida obviously can't attend all family gatherings or airfield gatherings as it were but, having the others there was a treat for myself and my husband. My three oldest girls showed up with gifts in hand for me! I received a beautiful white orchid, that I'm praying I will be able to keep alive...(anyone with experience in caring for orchids please feel free to pass on any tips you have to share) then another lovely plant for my deck and a gift basket with all sorts of bath & body goodies, candles and chocolate!! (My youngest daughter sent a gift certificate for a massage that I've already put to good use!) Both our grandbabies were there as well. Our grandson is such a hoot! Somebody in the stands asked me something about hub's airplane that I didn't know the answer to, K spoke up and said, "Me and Papaw know about airplanes, Mimi's a girl, she knows about other stuff though" Then I think he was afraid he had offended me and said, "Mimi, you make good cake" My son greeted me yesterday morning with roses and a gift cert. to the movies and a very touching hand written card. Keep in mind he's 18! That makes it all the more special. Hubby bought me clothes, knowing what a clothes horse I am. Naturally the size was wrong but, that's OK. It's the thought that counts :) I will now have a huge credit at my fave clothing store!! He pays full price, I wait until everything goes on sale or clearance! We attended two cookouts and I ate things I normally wouldn't eat...yuck and yum, all at the same time. We spent time with my Mother, My Grandmother, my husband's Mother and Aunt. We missed his Step Mother but left a gift and card, so I hope she'll forgive us. Besides visiting, eating and playing hostess to hub's fans at the airfield, I slept and slept and then slept some more!!! I should be good to go! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and the week ahead is good to you :)

| Don't send me to jail....I'm beautiful |
| 05.09.07 (7:15 pm) [edit] |
As most of you have heard or read by now, Paris Hilton has petitioned Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to "pardon her for her honest mistakes" PULEEZE! Honest mistakes? How can you mistakenly drive drunk? How can you mistakenly drive while your license are suspended? We all know she knew they were suspended! The mere fact that she's blaming someone else makes her all the more guilty in my book. Stand up and take responsibility for your actions woman! Drunk drivers kill! As far as I'm concerned, she should be convicted of attempted murder! According to the petition, she should be pardoned because she provides the world with "beauty and excitement to our otherwise mundane lives." (just a sec while I puke) and her contribution to the world of film. Surely I'm not the only one who finds this all laughable, ridiculous and completely insane! PH has never done anything for me other than make me cringe! For them to site other celebs who, in their words, walk free after having been arrested for DUI is also ridiculous. The one that really burns my rear is Brandy. "Brandy's California Highway accident, although no proof of DUI was evidenced in her accident, resulting in the death of a young wife and mother in California, yet Brandy walks free as of today, never doing any time and A WOMAN HAS BEEN KILLED most likely due to her reckless driving!"   ; I think that statement alone should make this petition null and void! Making such huge assumptions is asinine! (admittedly I know nothing about the Brandy incident) "Everyone makes mistakes. She didn't hurt or kill anyone, and she has learned her lesson. She is sincere, apologetic, and full of regret for her actions as she explained tearfully to the Judge handling her case in court yesterday. She is distraught and understandably afraid. " Yes, everyone makes mistakes but, most of us learn from our mistakes and if and when we don't and we are caught, we pay for them. Jail isn't supposed to be fun. I think it might just do Paris Hilton some good to be distraught and afraid! Maybe then she will truly be sincere and full of regret! Below is the petition in full: To: The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Paris Whitney Hilton is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.
Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic "House of Wax". In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved some recognition as a model, celebrity spokesperson, singer, and writer.
As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007.
We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong. We do not support drunk driving or DUI charges. Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn't go to jail, either.
As depicted on Friday night's episode "Nancy Grace" on Headline News (May 4, 2007), countless celebrities have been "slapped on the wrist" for similar incidents recently. Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson, Tracy Morgan, Wynonna Judd, to name a few, were arrested and never did a day in jail after their initial arrests for drunk driving /DUI /DWI charges. Rappers Busta Rhymes and Eve still walk free after both being arrested for the same charges as Ms. Hilton just this past week. Brandy's California Highway accident, although no proof of DUI was evidenced in her accident, resulting in the death of a young wife and mother in California, yet Brandy walks free as of today, never doing any time and A WOMAN HAS BEEN KILLED most likely due to her reckless driving!
Yet, Paris Hilton did not hurt, injure, or kill anyone or anything, and yet she must do jail time.
This petition is to ask Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon Paris Hilton for her mistake. Please allow her to her return to her career and life. Everyone makes mistakes. She didn't hurt or kill anyone, and she has learned her lesson. She is sincere, apologetic, and full of regret for her actions as she explained tearfully to the Judge handling her case in court yesterday.She is distraught and understandably afraid.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT to save our Paris from ending up at the Century Regional Detention Facility! Please sign to tell The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of the State of California, to think about the welfare of this young woman who has made a mortal error and deserves a second chance like so many others in our great nation have been served with after a mistake they have made . If the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well, and we hope and expect The Governor will understand and grant this unusual but important request in good faith to Ms. Paris Whitney Hilton

| Common Passwords |
| 04.28.07 (3:00 pm) [edit] |
On average, the human brain can hold only five to nine "random bits of information" in short-term memory. Considering the brain's limited capacity and the sheer number of secret names, codes, and words a person needs to remember in this password-protected age, it's no surprise that the most common password is simply "password" Besides serving as an easy-to-remember code for less-creative computer users, "password" is often used as the default password for many web sites and programs, making it extremely common and not at all secure. In other words, "password" is a bad password. Other perennial favorites include "God," "sex," "money," and "love." Passwords based on the names or birthdays of partners, children, or pets are also quite common. Here's a pretty lengthy list of common passwords. Make sure to scan it and look for yours. If yours made the list, it's probably a good idea to change it.

| Weekend |
| 04.22.07 (12:50 pm) [edit] |
It's been a busy and fun filled weekend. Yesterday was a celebration for my Father inlaw's 75th birthday! It was held at a lovely park. We took baby girl with us, she put all the little boys to shame on the monkey bars! She is one strong athletic little girl. It took me half an hour in the tub to get her clean from all the sand and dirt that was smeared on her face, feet and all the folds on her chubby little body. She's like a little boy rolled up in a beautiful little girl :) After her bath, she sat snuggled up with me on couch with her blankey. I love snuggle time with her. This morning she and Papaw flew her Dora kite. Then of course we had to have scrambled eggs and toast! "Eggs and toast, eggs and toast" this has become her mantra on the mornings spent with Mimi and Papaw. After breakfast we danced to Hips don't lie by Shakira. I think I freaked Papaw out with my loose hips! hahaha! Little does he know I've been practicing! ;) At 12:20 PM, my pedometer is already showing 2286 steps. I think some of those are shimmys! Our little sugar lump is on her way home now to see Mommy and Daddy. I love her to bits but, I'm always ready for some down time when she leaves. Here are some pics I snapped yesterday and today.

| I was born on a Tuesday |
| 04.21.07 (8:27 am) [edit] |
Last night my husband and I lit a big bonfire and while we were standing around the fire, the neighbor's horse, Jupiter came sauntering up to the fence with a rooster perched on his back. I thought it was a great photo op so, off I ran to get my camera. After I had run several yards, KERSPLAT! Down I went on my knees first then my face! Right in the mud. Misty our golden retriever thought this was a wonderful opportunity to play with me. The 80 lb. fur ball came pouncing toward me while my husband was yelling for her to stop. I held up my foot to detour her. Luckily she didn't pounce on me. I was fine, no broken bones, just muddy knees and hands. After I changed clothes, hubby and I went to get something for dinner. I ran into a deli for a salad while he went into the chinese place next door for take-out. I was standing in line to pay for my food when the man behind me gently tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to find a tall thin man with a bandana on his head and cigarette behind his ear. He said "you have a leaf in your hair" then he very softly plucked the leaf from my hair and handed it to me. (I'm still not sure why he thought I wanted the leaf) I explained to him that I'd just had a roll in the yard. I fibbed and told him the dog tripped me He went on to tell me how pretty my hair was! That was nice but it felt a bit odd to hear that standing in the check out lane or anywhere really. I'm not sure why? He seemed to take a little too much pleasure in touching my hair. I probably read way too much into it. I think had it been the other way around, I would have said nothing and probably just wondered in silence why the leaf was there. After I had paid and was walking away, I thanked him. He yelled very loudly...much louder than necessary, "You have a wonderful evening" Nice guy but, as I said....it all felt odd. What's that they say about Tuesday child being full of GRACE? I'm sure I was meant to be born on Thursday!

My son and his girlfriend had their senior prom Saturday night. Here are a few pictures I snapped at home before they left. They are gorgeous, if I do say so myself! Of course I can only take credit for half of the gorgeousness! Fish Lips
