I have to tell ya, as much as I hate it when my Dad is out of town, I love the zingers he catches on his camera and sends me. My day is filled with shots of bright, blue-eyed children and he’s snapping shots of church marquees, street signs and now, restrooms.

No, Bruno is not trying out for a lead in a future Jimmy Neutron movie, he’s being protected from his own desperate chewing.

I’m not a political blogger; I’m just not. I watched the Vice Presidential Debate this morning and cringed.
Why are these my choices?
Where is our nation going to TRULY GET what we need?
Where are strategies, like The Common Sense Fix, to TRULY “shore-up” the nation’s economy (thanks for that link, MomUnscripted)?…

Today as Emelie and I were consuming the last two chapters of her read aloud, The Golden Goblet*, we noticed a shadow and glanced over to see Kenny approaching from outside her window.
Pressing his face up against the screen, he peered inside and asked Emelie when she would be finished. Apparently, he and Meredith …

Kenny: “Momma, I can’t go fast enough with these [training] wheels on. They need to come off.”
Me: “The training wheels?”
Kenny: “Yes, they need to come off.”
Me: “Okay, I’ll take them off for you, but…” and then I stopped and chose not to finish my sentence.
Kenny: “What? What were you gonna say?”…

I worked all day on the computer while my family went and worked all day at my grandparent’s place cleaning up from Hurricane Ike. Some would say that makes me a bad granddaughter, and actually I did feel guilty, and after a couple of hours, lonely. Still, I’ve been behind because of Hurricane Ike and …

Well, I figured it was about time for a Hair Chronicles update. If you can’t believe I’m being so shallow as to post about my hair, you don’t know the half of it! My tresses, along with a post over at Whoorl, earned me an interview with a yankee and a prestigious mention…

Ike has passed and his aftermath ranges from truly tragic to mildly irritating.

Jeff camped out on the front porch with his laptop for a while. We expect Ike to reach us between 2-3:00 am.

This is how big Kenny was when the last set of evacuees were pouring into our hometown. It really does feel like the event was much more recent than August 2005. THREE YEARS AGO. Isn’t it funny how events that ‘seem’ like they happened yesterday can be quickly dated with a single photo?
