Yesterday was the 146th birthday of West Virginia. I sat on my back porch looking up from underneath my maple trees, waiting for the sun to break through the clouds and light up the leaves. That shade of green is one of the things I associate closely with West Virginia and is usually […]
I’m looking at the week ahead, adjusting my brain to the idea of the kids home for summer and prepping for a trip to Chicago. Peeking through my iPhone, I selected a few pictures that summed up the last week.
I bought this bendy little tripod from Photojojo and I can’t quit playing with it! […]
Today is the last day Little One is in elementary school, which means it’s also the last day I’ll do bus stop duty. It’s not cool to have Mom pick you up from the bus stop in Middle School. (*Sniff!*) It’s also the last day I’m 39, so I’m feeling a whole […]

I do love to see new places, experience a different view of life and let my eyes (and camera) drink in sights that […]
Geesh, I almost made it through all of December without a single post. If I have readers, I apologize for that. Things have been, well, depressing.
We started off New Year’s Day 2008 with my Uncle’s burial and wrapped up the year with my younger cousin’s on Christmas Eve. It’s just been a […]
Election day is TOMORROW, thank goodness, and political ads are nearly a thing of the past. If you’re tired of the clutter of signs along the roads and can’t remember what commercials used to be about a few months ago, you may enjoy the peace and quiet of the “Political Break Ads” from WCCO […]
