You will never guess what I was looking for in my bra.

March 3, 2013

You will never guess what I was looking for in my bra today.   I have two things about my bra today that were VERY exciting. 1. I am wearing a brand new bra and it is actually super comfortable and I am tickled, (if you are a woman, I am certain you understand.) 2. [...]

That Time We Shut Down the Airport

February 25, 2013

We are no longer referring to our 2013 trip to Disney as such. It is now being called, “The Trip that WE Shut Down Orlando International Airport. Come on, are you really surprised? Really? Picture this… I have all three boys with me at the conveyor belt while all of our shoes are in buckets and I [...]

Seasons and Appreciation

February 9, 2013

I just wanted to share a picture I snapped this week in my neighborhood. I love finding little gifts while doing something as monotonous as driving up to get my mail and finding this glorious sky to watch the whole way. Sometimes I complain about winter too much. I like seasons. I need contrast. It [...]

It’s Just That Kind of Town on Halloween and Every Day

October 26, 2012

“Please Use Honor System.  Put in Yellow Mailbox.” That’s right, honor system.  Just leave what you owe. It’s that kind of town. We live in a little town where when you stop by a pumpkin patch you see lovely pumpkins and gourds.  It’s nice to see people having faith in humanity. Suckers!!!  Good Lord I [...]

Last Morning of Summer 2012

August 26, 2012

Waking up in the mountains and I can’t bring myself to wake up Peter. It’s his last morning of summer vacation and he is sleeping just like a little boy who spent the entire day before in a river kayaking. He also caught crayfish in a creek, frogs and salamanders. He tried sleeping in a [...]

Summer Camp

August 20, 2012

I went to summer camp for the first time when I was their age.

That is what I kept chanting to myself every time I had the thought to throw them back into the car and drive them to Disney World so I wouldn’t have to leave them with strangers

Creek Tips

July 22, 2012

  I love it when I come across something my boys have done that I didn’t know about. Here is a video our Peter shot at one of his special critter catching locations. The walk to the creek the time prior revealed a snake.  It looks like he went back with our big black rubber [...]

I Don’t Know What to Name This Post

July 16, 2012

The motor home has been forever “for sale” on the back forty. I felt the need to snap some photos of it in case one of those shows like American Pickers or Antiques Road Show stops by and decides the “seventies mobile” needs to be in a museum. All the years I spent trying to keep this monster out of the background in the pictures I take while we are in Michigan and now I am snapping pictures of it to make us laugh when we are old.

Boy Versus Racoon Versus Macy’s

July 15, 2012

This is me taking my own picture in San Francisco recently. I am smiling because behind is Union Square and I can see Macy’s from my hotel window, all half a dozen or so stories. I was happy because even if I couldn’t be shopping with the people all of the time I could stare at the people all walking around inside like a Richard Scarry Storytime book. I am not a good photographer and so…no Macy’s but I swear it is there…in all its glory!

It makes me happy and don’t judge! I am keeping the economy moving.

Dead former fluffy critters hanging above me with holes where there eyes used to be DOES NOT MAKE ME WARM AND FUZZY!
