Just pretty

My chandelier: super up-close.

No band-aids here!

I am oddly proud of never buying band-aids. I use my ingenuity. So very proud. :)

Sweet kid

Went a little overboard in asking for forgiveness for profanity :)

What can I say?

The camera loves her.

A little quenching

Destruction! And the garden loudly goes...

The bad news: jackhammering outside my portable all morning.

The good news: many opportunities for Berlin wall jokes. "Mr. Principal, tear down this garden!". Anyone? No?

Next up is the greenhouse.

Sauce and pesto and mozzarella and

Parmesan and ricotta and Canadian bacon and tomatoes and red onion and green peppers...oh my!

Snackies

More AIM food :)

Thank you notes!

I love them!

Birthday dinner with Mandy at Carino's but had too much conversation for pictures :)
So... Barnes and Noble pics it is!

Some people eat classy birthday food...

Happy Autumn!

Working Hard(ly)

Well... Someone is working hard. Someone else is working hardly.

How I really spent my birthday money

Sorry...no shoes after all :( The backyard was desperate for color and comfort. Now we are just waiting for grass and a new grill.
