Sprinkler fun Water guns Finally a warm day  Of course, what you don’t see is me sitting on the front step drinking a beer and taking pictures.  Brian was doing some yardwork (and drinking a beer).  A nice summer afternoon…it […]

Theme Thursday – TIME ***** I have received that question a few times and know it is asked pretty often.  After getting a DSLR, how long does it take to be able to confidently use it? My basic answer is, […]

We had good friends over on Saturday night, and the meal I made was pretty darn yummy.  I believe Brian said it “rocked”.  I thought I would post the meal, since it wasn’t too hard to pull off. T-bone steaks […]

Our yard has a lot of flowering trees in the spring.  We have our two crabapples (pink in the backyard and white in the front yard).    In the backyard we have three flowering lilac bushes (light purple, darker purple […]

On Sunday as we were driving home from the girls’ graduation party, we ran smack in the middle of a storm.  It was a bad storm.  One of our nieces called us up on the cell and told us that […]

I had good intentions last weekend, really I did.  I went to a historic river town on Saturday and had enough time on Sunday morning to do a photo shooting excursion.  One problem, though.  I had a little teensy weensy […]

Mommy and Daddy’s side the table  Anya and Kailan’s side of the table   We’re not alone right?  Our kids won’t eat steak, veggies are hit or miss (mostly miss) and they will just randomly choose to dislike something that one day […]

I don’t have sewing to share this week, but not because I didn’t do anything.  I made two SUPER cute baby blankets with the fabulous soft minky/cuddle/chenille fleece (whatever you call it) on one side and a beautiful patterned cotton […]

 Is it really Monday, because I could have sworn it was just Friday.  *sigh* This weekend went by very fast.  On Saturday morning the kids had their dentist appointments, and it was Anya’s first time going.  She did very well.  […]
