like a lot of large extended families, our tends to gather together only at funerals.
two weekends ago we experienced this yet again when Martin’s Aunt Charlotte died. Martin saw people he hasn’t seen in 9 or more years and I meet family members that I had never seen before. It’s not that these [...]
first off I have a question.
How the blazes did my sweet little niece go from this
to this:
What on earth happened? did I sleep for a dozen years? Help!
for the record she doesn’t normally wear that much makeup. This was for a 60s party for her best bud Carly.
Martin and I were invited [...]

I think I may have been 4 or 5 years old the time my dad and I got lost together. Apparently my father had the distractability of a five-year-old, even back then. So we can’t blame it on the alzheimers.
Back when we lived in Black Mountain, NC my family loved to take picnics [...]

Last night my family played Disc-Golf. Myself, my hubby, my 15 year-old-niece, my mother and my daddy. In the warm Georgia dusk. It was a really great family time together.
For those of you unfamiliar with Disc-Golf, here’s the basics. Each person has a specialized Frisbee Disc. Everyone starts at a [...]

okay, this is so un-original this week, but I’m praying for the Chapmans. Especially the son. Oh that boy has got to be in agony right now.
The weird part for me is that although I was sad for them, none of this really hit me in the gut till I read on the Chapman’s blog [...]

This whole weekend my hubby and I both felt out of sync. With each other and the world in general.
I was grumpy and he was just….not all there. It was weird. We weren’t communicating well. Nothing disastrous, just little things that didn’t go as planned and we couldn’t quite adjust.
I was [...]

My boss seriously frustrated me yesterday. He had promised to go with me to take lunch to our newest faculty member at her new home as she moves in. But then he turned out to have too many meetings and had to beg off. Major problem with that: I didn’t have a car with me. [...]

okay. Kids love weird things, right? and moms want easy and good for them (cleverly disguised, naturally)
so if your kids like deviled eggs, try this:
Ooook-Out Eyeball Eggs
take canned quails eggs (pre boiled, peeled and packed in water. These can be found at your local international food mart for just about 5 cents per egg)
drain [...]

I’m behind on my movie watching. So forgive me for being very late in viewing Ratatouille the Pixar movie from 2007.
I finally saw Ratatouille this weekend and I absolutely adored it!
I loved how they didn’t ever have the rats speak to the humans, just used gestures and expressions. As a dabbler in art, [...]

Okay, so I didn’t really go to Italy. And perhaps someday when I do get to go to Italy, I’ll know better, but this sure felt like it to me.
These are non-toe related photos from this past weekend at the place where my MIL lives.
and one more. It took me all weekend to get the [...]
