Note to self,… A mug resembling a pumpkin may be cute, but may not be the easiest thing from which to drink the blood of life without dribbling. Yes, I learned that this morning. Fortunately, I managed to just dribble down the chin and not on the clothes! I bought an admittedly cheap mug at […]
Happy birthday, Ty-man! My baby is 6 years old today, although it definately doesn’t seem possible! I still remember the day I had him like it was yesterday. I was scheduled to be induced at 0600, so at 0530 I was at my girl Stacy’s front door with Scotty so he could stay with her […]
Every year, this day is bittersweet for me. On one hand, it is my son Donovan’s birthday. But on the other hand, it is the anniversary of a dark day in American history. I was still a soldier then, on active duty at Fort Lee, VA. I will never forget that day, because it changed […]
School days = 8 hours of quiet! Back to days of waking up at the butt crack of dawn!! The alarm was set for 0530, an hour that I can’t seem to shake, despite years out of the Army! But I, of course, woke up at 0445 and couldn’t fall back asleep. But I guess […]
Our trip to the Rennaissance Festival,… We headed to the Sterling Rennaissance Festival last Saturday and had lots of fun! All the pictures below are clickable for larger views and captions. It was Highland Games weekend at the faire, so most of the events had a Scottish flair to them, including the log tossing contest […]
Wedded Bliss Selina’s wedding to her Marine, Brian, was Saturday and it was beautiful. The morning was a complete downpour, but it stopped long enough to allow them to say their vows and by the end of the reception, the sun was shining! There were a lot of old friends there so it was not […]
This is what happens when the big brother gets made the slave of the little brother! Which, in turn, means Mama gets the camera out to document the weirdness! As always, clickable for larger pics and captions. And a pic of His Royal Highness, as I found him this morning,… in my bed! And, […]
My kindergarten graduate! I am so glad there is waterproof mascara, because I SO needed it for graduation! It wasn’t just a kindergarten ceremony this year; they had a “moving on” ceremony for the 5th graders because they are all headed to the Middle School next year. So the littles were walked down the aisle […]
Corey called last night and also sent me some pics from Afghanistan! There are some from the trip over and several from FOB Shank. He got some GORGEOUS pics of the sunsets. They are all in my “camou stuff” pages in the menu, HERE! Enjoy!
It’s Monday and I have coffee. Thank the Goddess. It has been one of those weekends when sleep and I weren’t even in the same house, much less the same page or even the same book. Sleep stood outside my bedroom window for most of the weekend, laughing and pointing at me as I tossed and turned. […]
