without the big scab on the forehead. These are Brittneys pics - using my old sony - Loved that camera. Good Job Britt! I love the one in the mud, it could have been taken 40 years ago, so I made it look that way.

Window Treatment


I've looked at this window for 3 years and never thought to put up a valance til I saw it in a magazine. I like it - Weird how I never thought of it before! Okay - so I'm kinda bored on my vaca - back to the TV for some Mr Darcy.

After- better? hmmmm

Spring? cleaning


Sunday, I spent my "whole" day cleaning! I swear this place is covered with an inch of dust (more like 1/4 inch but still disgusting) I washed windows inside and out - and today it's my desk that's gonna get it. I've thought about moving it out of the "dining room" cuz it's always so messy, but it fits here so perfect - with good views for me. Here's the "before" pic minus the camera that was sitting in the middle of it.

Congrats Kyle! on your HS graduation


and tonight's his party! Have a great night - I hope the rain holds off for you.

Summer "Do's"


I don't get many pics of the Triplets these days, so have to share the ones I do. Kevin sent these and said they were the new summer haircuts. (And Barb wasn't too happy) So I'm assuming he's the barber! Pretty cute, even tho I can relate. My boys Dad used to do this too without telling me 1st.

Sun Catcher


My friend Deb made this sun-catcher for me for my birthday! I wore it as an earring that day and got alot of comments on my cool earrings - so I think she might start making jewelry too. It's her new passion and we've been teasing her on the amount of money she's spending on beads and crystals. But I'm not complaining - I'll buy the 1st pair of earrings.

Jerrold


It's been a picture weekend! A friends handsome son. Still a 2009 senior - -nothing like last minute.

Cole and Ashley


Awwww!!!

Recreating his 1 yr pic... with his brother and sister and... all the guys. He had a great party - Bart did the grilling - everyone else did the drinking!

Happy Mother's Day!


Here is one of my Favorite moms - My all time Favorite would be My Mom of course! Amanda was home for a funeral, sadly, but she wanted a few pictures for her husband. So here is Mandy, Malia and Abram.

He Did it!

Birthday


Thanks for the birthday calls and cards everyone! ( You know who you are) I had a good birthday, even had cake at work. Did I
say I had to bring it! Bart made me supper and got a clematis that I'll try not to kill. Wish I could take today off though - I am
swamped with photography work. That might be good if I was making any money on it. Sadly no! This is me, Larry and Louie -
not a good scan but I love the picture.

Happy Birthday Brother Larry!


New Job - New Car - New AGE! Have a good Birthday!
