He loves me...

Swingers

Knockin' off at the park when we should be doing our taxes. 

Tea Leaves

Having some herbal tea with my husband on our patio while we plan the layout of our garden.

DAY 102/365

Waiting for my Main St. pizza.

Scarlett

Enjoying some craft brews in my backyard this evening. The breeze is too wonderful not to.

Chevron Swimsuit

I'm still swooning over the one piece I got in New Orleans last month.  I haven't worn a one piece swimsuit since I was a kid.  This one, however, makes me feel like a beautiful, grown-ass woman.  I'm in love with it.  

DAY 099/365

Reading and enjoying my coffee in the morning sun.

Morning, Sunshine

Starting off the day with my favorite cookies from the bakery and some chai tea.

April Showers

It was as if the sky just opened up.  The clouds looked angry and fast moving. I love it when it rains.

DAY 096/365

 Celebrating little sister's 18th birthday!

Numbers

An excerpt from For the Time Being.  This book is wild.

Afternoon Delight

Riding around with our dogs and stopped at The Cove for some burgers and sweet potato fries.

DAY 093/365

Added some fresh strawberries to my Sprite.  Such a simple, tasty treat.

Sabrina

Popped in a VHS and having my tea in bed this morning, I'm super tired today. 

April Fool

My babygirl is lying on her back, spoiled, without regards.

DAY 090/365

Making breakfast half-asleep and I completely missed the bowl.

B-B-Q

I couldn't wait for the coals to cool down and be ready so they charred a bit, but that burnt flavor is the best part.  (Seasoned chicken legs, sausage, a bacon-wrapped chicken leg, veggie skewer and corn.  Homemade rice, beans, and potato salad for our sides.) I'm getting hungry writing this all down.

Textured Art

My husband made this piece with a leftover piece of plywood (approx 2' x 10"), strips of paper from an old book (Autobiography of a Yogi) that was preciously his grandfather's, some bus schedules, glue, and leftover kitchen paint.  Then he carved random designs into it using the tip of a power drill.  Genius.

DAY 087/365

An old co-worker gave me a bunch a fabric and this one went up in the laundry room.  It changes looks throughout the day.  Here, it's illuminated.  At night, it has a silver iridescent look. Pretty rad.

Sentimental Snapshots

I have as couple snapshots on my desk that I like to look at.

Left:  Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France June 2000.  

It's a happy memory for me because I had spent 3 weeks in Europe (Italy, Austria, Switzerland, then France) and Paris was the last stop.  We had ridden a train from Zurich then hopped on a bus to go see the sights.  I was sleepy so I took a quick nap, when  i woke up the bus was stopped and this was my view, the back of the cathedral.

Right:  Last summer my husband and I took out eldest niece and nephew to Six Flags Fiesta Texas.  I sat out for this ride so I could get the shot, the three of them are pictured in the top right. Such a fun filled day swimming and getting on rides.  It's a day I hope we never forget.
