The 4th & Rain & Oyster Ice

July 3rd- Rain, rain and more rain. Hope it's dry for tomorrow's festivities. Julian is so looking forward to some fireworks.

July 4th- Happy 4th of July! We had a lovely day with family & friends.

July 5th- We're still able to eat out with both kids. Jane mostly slept through dinner. It was lovely- despite big brother eating the ice from the oyster station. Gross!

My vision for this blog is still developing. I don't want to leave it inactive though so I think I'll revert to the Photo of the Day thing I did awhile back. It really got me back into the writing habit. Without further ado, today's photo:

Yes- it's the YMCA! After a bit of a hiatus, we are once again members. Tonight was my first work out. It went pretty well. I guess we'll see in the morning! I am very happy to be exercising again. I really did miss it.

Thanksgiving

I've abandoned my photo-of-the-Day quest. Life just got too crazy and now I'm 2 months behind, so I'm allowing myself to let it go. I'll backtrack a little since I didn't post in November at all. We went up to the country house in north Georgia for Thanksgiving. I just needed a break after a non-stop schedule and all the events I ran. It was a great trip and it really helped me regain some energy and focus before coming home to the Christmas selling and craft show season. The weekend after Thanksgiving, instead of shopping, we drove over to Greenville and spent a few days with some good friends. We took the kids to the zoo and then got a sitter for the evening. We had an extraordinary dinner at American Grocery, a farm-to-table style restaurant, and then went and saw Million Dollar Quartet- The Musical. Here's some photos:

Julian invented a game with the random stuff he found in the shed.

He kept changing the rules so much of it was just running around.

Thai Textile

Muhn-day!!! (Sep 10, 2012)- I felt that photographing a photography exhibit was plagiarist somehow so I didn't take any pictures of the most interesting part of my day. What was the second most interesting part? There wasn't one. I'm ready for a trip. I got this vintage Thai textile when I was there in 2005. I have a much larger piece in Julian's room, so I'm selling this one. I don't have a good place to put it.

Thai quilted block

PS- Read Psalms 121 this morning. It's too beautiful not to share!

 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth. 

 He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep. 

The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 

 the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Death & Politics

Friday, August 31, 2012~

Darn it, my camera broke. I had an excellent evening with girlfriends discussing politics and death whilst crafting. But you're not going to see photos of that. I've got no option but to post photos of the stuff I listed in my Etsy shop this morning. That's still good though, right? They're fun and kitschy!

All the cuteness of a poodle without the awful breath

Gotta Catch Up!

August 21, 2012~ I am so behind in posting my photo-of-the-day entries. I'm going to have to go back and seriously retro post. I may even skip text. I just need to catch up. The photos have been taken it's just a matter of uploading. Here's today's:

Frankenstein Face

Tuesday, June 6, 2012~

I should post a photo of my freakishly red face. I'm too vain to do that though. I just did 3.45 miles. I'm very tired. The thought of doing the half marathon (13.1 miles) is just not something I can grasp yet, but that is the goal. We've got until November to train.

Julian's haircut makes him seem so much older. He's taller too. I keep trying to photograph his face and capture his look right now. I keep thinking I see Jason's Granny Mabel's nose, but it's still to early to tell. He definitely has my mother-in-law's coloring! He's got my eye shape.

Bat Cave

"Colored Pencil" finish on photograph

Today... what shall I say? The tone set early in the day permeated everything else. I shall leave you with 2 cryptic words: wisdom and avoidance.
