Reeds Lake: East Grand Rapids I could have taken better shots, but I was sweaty and tired from biking up a few hills and this was the view from where I parked my tush.
Sir Poopsalot and Miss Stinky Head
Miss Stinky Head wasn’t crazy about her skunk bath The hubby and I are walking around a wee bit on the tired side today. That would be due to our two canines who had a few tricks up their paws last night. It started around 2:30 in the morning when […]
I’m not a patient person
Blue pot on the deck Adoption is about waiting. Waiting for all the information you need to fill out the forms. Waiting for doctors to redo their paperwork since they missed a few things the first time around. Waiting for fingerprints. Waiting for immigration documents. Waiting for social worker visits. […]
Blueberry face
What kid doesn’t love blueberries? In keeping with yesterday’s theme, Makayla devoured the remaining blueberries in no time flat. Apparently she’d already smeared her breakfast in her hair earlier in the day, so the big blue smears she eventually had on her face were nothing really.
Blueberries
What do you do if you have a plethora of plump, sweet blueberries on hand? You eat a bunch of them and you bake things with the rest: Blueberry Cinnamon Burst Muffins Blueberry Gingerbread Cake
I got a Nikon camera…
…I love to take a photograph Seems everyone on the web’s been sporting the new Canon 300D. I’m more than happy to march to the beat of a slightly different drummer with my D70. Honestly, I had an N-65 and two great lenses before I went digital, so the choice […]
Cooking without a net
Lori’s Mediterranean Chicken and Orzo I’m a pretty decent cook. But not a spontaneous one. My modus operandi is to find a tasty recipe, make a shopping list, then cook or bake along with the instructions and sometimes a few additions/subtractions of my own. I’m building a small repertoire of […]
Time for a field trip
Kicking back on the deck Other than our vacation pics, the only photos I’ve been taking lately have been around the house and yard. I’m beginning to feel a bit claustrophobic. I think it’s time for a photo excursion. Hopefully soon.
An old friend
Do you Zima? Ten years ago or so, I used to drink Zimas quite a bit. I’m a girly-girl, I guess. I’ve never liked beer and I’m not keen on things like rum and Coke. Yet the stigma of wine coolers forced me to look elsewhere. There are always margaritas, […]
The definition of perky? Natalie MacMaster
Great music on the nicest evening of the summer Scott took me to my first Natalie MacMaster show in Lansing last June. I’d never heard her music before and I was blown away. I love fiddle music. But she adds something more to the mix. She’s just so darn energetic. […]
Coming clean
Lawn chair close-up Ugh. I’m one big ball of toxic stress today. It’s like stress has invaded my body and is now oozing from my pores. I hate when I feel like this. I have a much tougher time solving problems and being proactive. I kind of get mired in […]
