As must be quite obvious, I love to take photos. Mostly of the girls, but also of flowers and other things that catch my eye. I will try to add a new photo to the Favorites Album each day, whether it be a new one or an old one!

I’m Done
after staying up VERY late and then reading all morning, I’m done. Now no one can spoil the ending for me; I’ll try not to spoil it for anyone else….
We are Home
from the children’s bookstore where the girls got to make potions, find out what their patronus is and more. Now we are settling into a long night of reading….
Countdown
To midnight
Walking is an Act of Socialization, Not Exercise
Each day day we head out for a walk (often Camille is on her bike and Chloe is always in the baby jogger). I see this as my minimal attempt at getting exercise. However, more often than not, it is more an act of socialization than exercise. Each block or so, we run into someone…
Candles Off the Cake
The rain stayed away, and the show went on!
Happy Birthday, Chloe!
Chloe’s been having a Pine Lake birthday. In the morning we went to the Beach House for the pancake breakfast, then back to the house for presents. Mid-afternoon we had lunch at The Kingfisher Cafe up the street. Tonight, if the rain holds off, will be fire dancing at the beach! Happy Birthday, Chloe!
The Mandated Wave
People should not move to our city unless they are willing to be friendly. Everyone waves at everyone. It make no difference if you know to whom you are waving…you just wave at everyone who goes by. I have quickly adapted to this way of life…the mandate takes away that fear of being embarassed about…
Argh!
Forgot my CF card:-(
Illusions of Grandeur
The latest “Woman-to-Woman” column “Harm in reading romance novels?” got me thinking about illusions versus reality. (I generally find the Woman-to-woman columns to be staged issues with very little debate occurring, and this one is no exception.) In the end of the column, the suggestion made was to remember that novels are fiction, not reality….
Random Bits
After 3 months of no mobile blogging, I am finally able to email photos from my phone to my blog. I don’t think Google actually fixed the problem, but the merger of AT&T and Cingular gave my phone a new email address, tricking Google into thinking it was a new user? My light summer reading…

At the cabin
July Is
National Ice Cream Month To celebrate, we had an ice cream party at our house today. Earlier this week, the girls and I went to Target and bought an ice cream machine. In many ways, it looks like the one I had as a kid (my mom still has it), with one major difference. Not…
J’aime La Plage
Bjorn, Urska and ?
Our new house has a stained glass window in the stairs from the main level to the girls’ level. The window features three bears who need names. We came up with Bjorn, and a friend recommended Urska. Any suggestions for the mamma bear?
Housewarming
Now this house feels like home…
The Bad Examples
Rob and I had a great time last night going to the Red Light Cafe to hear music from Ralph Covert’s (aka Ralph’s World) more “mature” band, The Bad Examples. I had a great time, and sure wish more folks had turned out. However, I can see that for parents, going out to an adult…
We’re Moved and Still Active
We’re still here. Between moving and the death of our kitty Wilma, we have been a little more than overwhelmed. But we are getting there. Today was the last of the insane errands, I think. I have a new driver’s license, no longer have old towels, monitor and books, and have almost adequate shelving. Camille’s…
Long Time, No Post
Excuses, excuses. Even as homeschoolers, we’ve been busy with end-of-the-year stuff…Then there’s the kids’ music concerts we’ve been going to. And our “curiousity killed the cat” cat that’s been at the vet for two days now (and probably two more) from some injury, probably due to clumsiness and, of coure, curiosity. Then of course, is…
Molly Did It
Ah, well, not really. I can’t blame anyone but myself. I want a dog. A chocolate lab. A dog to go for walks with me. A dog that’s happy to see me. But Rob says I’m crazy. Chloe’s not overly fond of dogs. We will no longer have a big backyard. But I still want…
