Picture This

Just for fun, I'm posting random thoughts on this fine Sunday morning. I love the fact I have the freedom to sit down process a few pictures to share with you. There's something very 'weekend-ish' about this. So here we go!


  • I found this picture in one of my son's picture files.It invites the viewer to explore the path and find out what is around the corner. For me this picture represents adventure of life. You never know what is around the corner, but you are aware of taking in the journey, while not missing the beauty as you travel.

  • And now, for something completely different....


It's always good to have a back up plan.

I took this picture of the outhouse at the museum. My husband and I enjoyed an impromptu date, going through the local museum,a few afternoons ago, . The last time I'd visited was over twenty years ago, when I applied for a summer job there. We had a great time going through the 'old' house.
I must admit, it felt a little weird that many of the artifacts were exactly the same as things I had seen growing up. For instance, they had a silver mirror and brush that could have been the one that my grandma had on her dresser. In the housekeepers room, there was a treadle sewing machine like the one that my mom used at the cottage. The young guide tried to impress us with "guess what this is" - and it made me feel a little old when I had a working knowledge of many of the items! "Yep, I know what a gramophone is young man..."

  • Can you guess? I opened the freezer and got the container out. This is what I found.
    There's a little unwritten contest in our house to carve food out to make it look like none has been used. My husband started the tradition, and apparently, everyone else has joined in the fun. I guess their mission was to dig the ice cream down to the bottom without messing up the sides.

  • I've enjoyed watching the kittens. They hide on each other and pounce, not know that the other one is hiding on them and ready to pounce as well. Cute as they are, we are not keeping them. The pet store said they would take them this week.


  • Here's a little sign I saw in my travels. And......

  • Wherever your road leads this week, I hope you'll enjoy the journey.

Wouldn't have missed it for the world

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? Those dark eyes turned blue and the black hair turned blond, and too quickly, this little guy grew taller than his dad and me. Today, it is eighteen years since that bright, blue-skies February morning when he made his debut. It has been eighteen years of many wonderful memories. Very early, I heard him chuckle at his sister's antics. He used to crawl on his belly, pulling himself along with his elbows. And when he was learning how to eat solids, he would say "mmmmNummNumm" as he ate, making the heart of the cook soar (even though it came from a jar). There was the day that I told him that if he sat and watched too much t.v. he would become a couch potatoe. He switched the t.v. off, and proceeded to inform me with little hands outstretched, and sincerity in his voice, that if he played too much Lego, he would become a Lego blueberry. And the Christmas season when we were doing Advent activities. He was drawing a picture of the ...

I decided to make March my month to release the expired. So far...   I have thrown out all makeup with less than one drop in the bottom of the jar.    I finally dumped the cauliflower in cheeze sauce I made for Christmas dinner.      I threw out the Pepto Bismol from 2010 - not even opened. It feels good to be rid of them.  It also makes me happy that I won't have to worry about bacteria in old makeup   And that my husband won't get sick from my cooking    And that my health has been good enough not to need the Pepto Bismol at all. Inspired by these events, I went through my closets. It is almost time to swap the winter for the summer.  My winter clothes seemed to have stood the test of time for now.  However, my shoes were showing major signs of wear.  I decided on two pairs that I need to say "Farewell" to. The corollary of getting rid of what is expired is that I now have room to add a couple new pairs. ...
