| This is Burn Notice on Netflix, screen shot while I was watching on my iPad. If you notice the metal rack of glasses with leaves on them, on the left side of the picture, behind her, we had the exact same ones when I was little (I am 53). |
I did not want to copy her picture. SO -
This is a
Shutterbean picture, please click and go look. (Love her
weekly recap in pictures.) I think this (son's first day of kindergarten) is one of the all time great pictures. I am showing it because she often includes a 'sign' in her pictures to commemorate a date. Really good idea. Not all the time. But sometimes.
This is an actual thing with new babies now..

| I bought this lamp at a garage sale. The woman just wanted it out of her sight because originally it had a glass (Tiffany kind of shade) and she broke it. I watched ebay and garage sales for replacement shade. I never had the lamp with me. I never figured out right shape and size. Finally took it to a lamp repair shop, in October, after years of using it without a shade in various rooms. I asked for help in knowing size and shape. Owner of shop said - I think I actually have something that will work in the back. She came out with this, used, $20. Sold. Color and size and style - perfect. |

| A really great idea - a toddler safety seat next to the baby changing station in a women's bathroom. Middle and I saw these once, her iPod battery was dead, so we could not take a picture. Months later she was in another town with her boy and saw them again and this time got a picture. |

| A weekend when we had a houseful including our little 6 year old. Yes, when we have a houseful, you can tell by the living room. You can also see just a peek at all things gaming to the left of the picture. That is a wooden water buffalo stool with the wii on it. There are two TV's and a whole host of electronics in that corner. Sprite bottle is either middle or youngest, on occasion helps with stomach. This is the puppet theater middle and I found at a garage sale the summer before last (I think). You can see a pile of puppets behind the theater and also a bin of them near the horse. That silver light (right side, on table) is from Walmart, has a nice heavy base and is great for detail work like painting. Pottery piece in far right corner of the picture is bust made by middle in high school art class. |

| A corner of middle's room at college. Those elephants are cut from extra scrapbook paper. One is going the opposite direction, on purpose. The light fixture is from a garage sale. Have to have super low watt bulbs in it or it gets HOT. |
 |
| This is also in middle's college room. It is the same one we give for Confirmation gifts. That is decorative washie tape (I think) around the light switch. Very middle. |
