This week my husband bought me 2 living things and some chocolate. The chocolate is history so that’s not worth mentioning…except it might still be hanging on around my waist.

No, you can’t swim here. This is our section.
I want to swim with you. Let me have a turn in this spot.
Stop fighting. Share the water, there’s lots of it. Be good and leave me alone for 15 minutes to take a bath and eat a little bit.
P.S. This is [...]

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

We used to have pictures of our kids as a slideshow for our screensaver. In this apartment the computer desk is 6 feet from the dinner table so they were really watching their own pictures. A [...]

The pony rides beckoned us to the local craft fair. With 3 cowboy/girl wanna-bes how could I resist?
We weren’t there long because it is so hot and humid. I actually remembered to pack a cooler with drink and apples. So glad I did.

We are down to seven ducklings from the original ten. That’s better odds than if they were in “the wild.” Usually only 1/3 of a nest of baby ducks will live to be adult ducks. They must be a pretty tasty “meal.”
Please excuse the photography. I’m not a great photographer to [...]
