Summer 2013 Trip to NC

August 27, 2014 – 11:26 pm

That trip to North Carolina I mentioned in my last post? Pictures! p.s. Only one year of this until I’m caught up. p.p.s. Andy was at GenCon with friends, which is why he is absent from all these photos. Also, thanks Mom and Dad, for making that 8-hour drive with me. Not sure I’m ready […]

Sophie’s Skirt

August 27, 2014 – 10:13 pm

Did I ever post about Sophie’s skirt? I don’t think I did. About a year and a half ago (maybe two years?) Sophie drew a picture of a princess. My mom saw it, asked to borrow it, sent it to Spoonflower and presto, Sophie became a fabric designer. Then, summer of last year, she and […]

    Feeling a bit of mom guilt over how sharp he says the world now looks thanks to his new glasses. But now we know and now he has them and thankfully he likes them (for now). It's been a long day. I admit to being annoyed at having to buy $30 white Keds for two choir performances over the summer. But with the help of a friend, Sophie fixed them and now she wears them always. @jsalbritton took this of our girls and their dads (the coaches) walking on the field for this morning's game. ❤️ Those darn tricky little letters that always like to blur when far away ... Weekend project. Cat to blame. Lovely afternoon at Art in the Park with these two! sundaes on Sunday Always so.close. 38.5 years at the grain elevator and always a 40+ hour week. Happy well-deserved retirement Uncle Mark! Cousins. Homegrown watermelon is worth all those seeds. These flowers are high up on a mantel in a heavy vase and our 14-pound cat is determined to knock them down. Sidebar: @mungk79 went to Kroger of all places to pick up Eli's for Sunday night dinner and found these flowers on sale for $1. This arrangement cost $2! He may not love that I took his picture but I love these evenings. "But I want to play piano! I just don't want to practice!" Some life lessons are harder than others. And often, they're the most important ones. (Of course, deeper conversation with my dear daughter on this topic resulted in a scowl.) Tucker tried to make friends with a skunk tonight. Maybe in his old age he forgot? #wevebeenthroughthisbefore
