Day One Hundred Twenty Three 2011



My little pink Geranium got beat down by the rain today. I'm hoping the sunshine tomorrow will lift her up. I could use some sunshine, too.

Day One Hundred Twenty Two 2011



That blur is grandson Elijah racing to first base during his T Ball game this evening.


The Muck Dogs won 15-13 in the last inning in the last few seconds of a wild and crazy game. To quote his sister, Shelby, "This one is my favorite game of all!" Elijah's dad, Jerry, said they should have charged admission to this one. Great job, Muck Dogs!

Day One Hundred Twenty 2011



This little race car poured out of the box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch along with the cereal into grandson Elijah's bowl yesterday morning. He was so happy to get this unexpected toy and thrilled when he discovered that it was self-propelled--slide it backwards and it shoots forward all on its own. Way cool. He played with it all day long--even on the trampoline--and fell asleep with it on the backyard swing. Goes to show you, it truly is the little things that mean the most.

Day One Hundred Nineteen 2011



My family enjoyed our special annual roast tonight in our back yard when we all get together and incinerate hot dogs and marshmallows and stuff ourselves with s'mores and Doritos and fried Easter Peeps and such and laugh and talk and just have a good old time being us and disturbing the whole neighborhood until midnight. At least we didn't set off any fireworks. That's coming in July, of course. I took this picture with my cell phone camera in the Solaris color setting. Looks like a freaky face. We had a good time. Let's do it all over again next year, OK?
