The Mitchell-Hedges Crystal Skull

Not the skulls over the pond that have been deemed fake, but the Mitchell-Hedges skull. The one that is two pieces (movable jaw, just like a real skull) made from one stone. The one that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was inspired by. This thing is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen (and touched.) … Read More

Pictures from the Weekend

My cousin got married over the weekend and I thought I’d post a few shots. This is my favorite, I think. From left to right:my sister, my mom, my brother, me, Zane and Phil. My brother on the left, my husband on the right. Man that’s sexy. Or not. LOLThe Dranchak clan. Damn. There’s a lot of us.At least that’s … Read More

Letterboxing in Missouri

I told you here we’d be going Letterboxing while we were in Missouri–well, we did! The first one we did at Beaver Creek Conservation area was a bust. We followed the excellent directions, but there was no box hidden at the location. It seemed to us that this place was well used by people who maybe don’t have a lot … Read More

Not Going Camping

40 degrees and rain plus a tent does not equal a good camping trip. So we’re staying with some friends instead. It’s all good. 🙂

Going Camping

So no sooner do we get back from one trip and we’re going on another. That’s okay with me though. We’re going camping as my Mother’s Day present. I wish we camped more often! Here’s some Missouri pictures I haven’ t blogged about yet.

One attempt was a bust, but one at the Maramec Springs Park was not only successful, but one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in Missouri. … Read More

Tackle It Tuesday–Christmas Tree

Yes. My Christmas tree is still up. And I took pictures of it for Tackle It Tuesday, got about a dozen ornaments down and then got a phone call. It all went to pot from there. I talked for a very long time with my friend Kimmie. Because friends are always more important than housework. Then I took a nap. … Read More

Project Yellow (Day 3 for me 7 for the project)

I can’t believe how much this little project has sparked my creativity! And more surprising is how much Zane’s getting into it. Maybe for the next project I can let him have the camera for a spell. Yesterday as I was uploading all of my yellow treasures, Zane asked for a treat–a Popsicle. He grabbed one and asked me if … Read More
