Chloe insists that I take her picture — if I get the camera out, she jumps in front of it.
junk drawer – 7 aug 2011
I finally got the kitchen all sorted out (minus the grains into mason jars, that is). The junk drawer contents got separated into piles and all filed away in the correct spots.
gazoo – 6 aug 2011
That’s how I felt too. I flopped around the house all day, stalled because I didn’t want to do the task I had assigned myself, cleaning the kitchen.
flowers – 5 aug 2011
It was actually cool enough to sit out on the porch for a couple of hours while working this morning!
ashtray – 3 aug 2011
The fad on facebook at the moment seems to be “You Know You’re from xyz when …” groups.My simple contribution on the group was a photo of this ashtray that I made in middle school shop way back when. I can’t believe it has survived all these years!

The fire department brought the “Fire Safety House” to our “National Night Out Luau” by the lake tonight.

CNN Center – 27 jul 2011
Today, my, mom, the girls and I went on a “hometown tourist” excursion to the CNN Center, where we took the Inside CNN tour. We had enjoyed seeing some of the studios in the building and learning more about how the news is made.
