I'm very happy to have my blog "decorated" !

Now that I have moved back from the wordpress blog, I needed to freshen up my blogspot blog. My friend Rachel (threedayblog.blogspot.com) has been dabbling more and more in web design, and sharply noticed that my blog was, well, boring. She got me excited about it by telling me I was "decorating". That phrase will get me interested in just about anything. She has done a fabulous job, and I'm very happy about it. My favorite is the footer... scroll down to the bottom of the page and check it out! So creative, and chic too! I'm lovin' it! And feeling much more inspired about my little blog too!

You know you're shopping at a high class place when you hear these words.....

" Just one pack a butt covers today?"

Yup, that's exactly what I heard from the young gentlemen behind the Wal-Mart check out counter. It took me a second to decide on my response, as I handed him the box of diapers. I gave him the courtesy laugh, and said, "Yes, mom's take care of all ends, don't they." You really think that would be enough, but there's more. He continues, " Yeah, last time I bought butt covers, I had to buy toilet paper too. HAH, I had to make sure all our butts were covered!"

Thank the Lord my four year old wasn't paying attention......

We had one BUSY summer weekend!

Here are a couple of pictures that tell the story. Find LOTS more on my flickr page !

In my fathers garden...

I had much fun wandering through my dad's garden this week. The summer has brought out the most beautiful colors! I was glad to have brought along my camera as I began to see photographs all around me. These are just a few.
