Memories

Sometimes I just don’t have words.

Online reminders services are great. Until they remind you your dead best friend’s birthday is coming up. Not a fun way to wake up this morning.

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.

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
