This is another of my favorites from the pile of pictures Ralf brought back from his trip to Austria. It just makes me smile. I was hoping to get a little story behind this picture, but it was new to Charlotte. Here’s what she did say. My dad (Robert) is 2nd from the left, sitting …
It’s the little things that count, right? So here’s my list for this week: I’m thankful: For Facebook. It’s my lifeline to the world outside of small town Idaho. And I’ve found so many old friends that I never would have connected with otherwise. That my car battery didn’t die after being on all night …
So I don’t have any crazy, off-the-wall, rural, farm land, cows “multiplying and replenishing the earth” type pictures or stories today. I do have a question to ask though. Isn’t there a law against collecting rubbish from around your property, setting fire to it, and burning the dickens out of it for like two days …
Just last night I had a Christmas gift request from my 10 year-old son. Now keep in mind that this is the same kid who has, in previous years, asked for a carnivorous plant, a saxaphone, and a ferret for Christmas. This year he’s decided he wants one of these: Apparently he wants to learn …
When I first met my husband, little did I know that I would become part of such a ski-loving family. Having grown up near the Alps in Austria, generations grew up skiing. And they were all really good at it. I tagged along a few times with the whole family when they came to Utah …
I just love this guy. Jack’s the kind of kid that looks sweet and unassuming on the outside but who quietly observes and takes mental notes on the inside. Just when you’re least expecting it he’ll regurgitate these tidbits in the form dry and wry humor. He’s always been this way. I remember how his …
Today I’m thankful that: I was able to get away to beautiful sunny California for a few days with my mom and sisters. (Did I already mention that?) My sister Ashley found out she’s having a little boy. I’m excited to have a baby around again to cuddle and smell and love … and then …
Will and I have been stuck at home all week spending some quality time together while he fights an inconvenient snot-covered, fever inducing bug . The other day, while playing Star Wars action figure pretend, Will looks out our back window and says to me: Mom! Look at those silly cows out there. Oh, the …
Having just finished the book and watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice, I thought this would be a great treasure for those Jane Austen fans out there. “Mistuh Dawsee” is my new favorite! I can’t imagine a better Mr. Darcy than Colin Firth. Wouldn’t you agree?
This is one of my very favorite photos of my husband’s grandmother. I love it because it’s so timeless. She looks so peaceful and content. I love the black and white with color added here and there. Here is what my mother-in-law Charlotte had to say about it: She was 19 at the time, and …
Take one tired, stuck-in-a-rut mom of four and fly her “home” to California. 2. Send along her mom and sisters to meet her for a long weekend. 3. Take her sight-seeing, 3. Shopping at her sister’s stores and eating. As a bonus, splurge on a wonderful chocolate mousse mineral facial. 4. Give her time to …
Today I am thankful that when you read this, I will be on this: On my way to meet these girls: Heading here: To do a little of this: And read a little of that: Have a wenderful weekend!
