I Got Clipped Tonight

I went quite a bit shorter when I got my hair cut tonight. I think I will like it.
(this is being posted for my daughters, because they will want to see it. For the rest of you....sorry for the boring post and ugly pictures of me....you should just go back to snapping beans, or painting your toenails, or cleaning the shower grout or watching Montel Williams......just about anything is more fun than looking at my hair.)

My Sabbath Portrait

There is a delightful young man at Church....named Michael Walton. About ten or eleven years old. He is one incredibly intelligent guy. I wonder what he will do with his life as he has many gifts. We've had fun as we have shared math riddles and jokes, etc.
Sunday I happened to be sitting next to him during sacrament meeting. I noticed he kept looking at me. Whenever I'd look over at him, though, he would look away. He was almost done with this when I figured out what he was doing.
He gave it to me after the meeting. Portrait...by Michael.

Hey...look how clear my skin looks....and no freckles. And a lovely smile.
Not too shabby :)
(and I appreciate the fact that he only gave me one chin)

Mona Lisa....eat your heart out.

Some Dirt Therapy

Going outside for some fun. Digging in the dirt. Ripping out the weeds. Giving my dog a drink from the hose. Giving myself a drink from the hose. Getting my jeans dirty. Walking barefoot in the grass. Picking a cucumber or yellow squash or two.

Feeling His love through His incredible gifts.

To Tell the Truth

Remember that game show? Kitty Carlisle and the rest of the gang?
Wow...if you do....you must be as old as me!!

Anyway.....I can just hear it now.

"Now...will the REAL bad blogger please stand up?"

And...it would have to be me.

Bad, bad blogger.

(but, I'm back. I actually did it this time, Jessie. Woo-hoo!)

They are growing like weeds!

Josh and Megan came to the office with Kelly and I to get the last of our things there, and clean up a little. It was the weekend, so they just came in their pajama pants. We borrowed a truck (thanks, friends!) and moved the desk, credenza and office chairs. The rest fit in the Explorer.
Meg and Josh were both a great help....we couldn't have done it ourselves.
Then they came in with huge leaves growing out of their pants. I'm not sure why.
Crazy kids.
I love to hear them laugh together.
Sweet, sweet music.

Date Night Smiles

A couple of weeks ago, Kelly and I went on a date. Yep...a couple of hours...just for us.
We had a great time together. He made me laugh all evening.
When we got home, we were just having fun talking and laughing with Megan and Josh. Megan took this picture of us.
I thought I'd post it, just to remember that fun night.....and the fact that I am very proud of this guy.
He just earned a promotion at work.....and he has only worked there 11 months. He loves his job, and the people he works with, and I am so glad he is happy.

Buds. Forever.

Try this!

I found this little quiz on another blog I love....and I took it....and I'm Pocahantas! How cool!

Find out which princess you are and let me know!

( and no....I haven't died. I will blog more, I promise)

You Are Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.
