the fun is in the details

I enjoy taking macro photos of every day objects because of the detail those pics reveal. Here are a few of my favorites from the past weeks.
An old ring found in my MIL’s button collection.

Frozen blueberries.

Tub of “butter” spread. The ridges are caused by the knife I use.

A ladybug on the kitchen counter. I [...]

new green onions

After seeing this onion recycling tutorial online, we decided to give it a try. When DD made tomato soup, she saved the root end of the onions and we planted them in a little pot. They have started to grow. I’ll have plenty for a salad, sandwich or garnish when they are larger. DH doesn’t [...]

smokey potato cheese soup

I made Smokey Potato Cheese Soup for supper tonight and it was a hit. Just thought I’d let you know. Wish I’d taken some pictures! I guess the lazy, laid-back, no-school, DD-went-to-play-with-friends kind of day made me forget all about my camera. My, my…can’t imagine how that happened! [...]

home again, home again

I’ve been gone for two weeks. We went to Florida for vacation, then up the east coast to visit our son’s family. I stayed there for a few extra days to babysit the grands while DH and DD came on home.

I flew home yesterday. I loved having some time with the twins and their [...]

favorite photos from 2008

I’ve been looking over my photos from 2008, trying to decide which ones are my favorites. I thought I’d try to pick one for each month.
January ~ This picture comes from the mission team our church sent to New Orleans, where we spent five days putting up drywall for a sweet woman named Gloria. [...]

a few snapshots from the past few days

Busy! We’ve been *very* busy! Last night, I didn’t have the energy to check email before I went to bed at 12:00. For me, that is tired! Here are a few pics from the past few days.
Sugarplums

Peanut Butter Truffles

Genny always decorates the mailbox

Young ladies from church came to help. A blessing, to [...]

new sofa

The new sofa for the living room was delivered today.

We switched the office rug and the living room. The office rug looks great with the sofa. And the living room rug looks great in the office! Worked out well!

in honor of election day

DH make the eagle from the Great Seal of the United States. Ummm…riiiiight…. He didn’t add the extras…arrows, leaves, banners. You get just the basics with DH’s pancake art. ;-D Those other things are "dots," which DD always asks for.

Now that you’re inspired…get out there and vote!

creative outlets

I’d be quite unhappy if I didn’t have some kind of creative outlet. I must confess, I have more than several areas of interest, but one of my favorites is photography. You’ve seen a lot of my photos on this blog. Following are some that don’t fit my usual blog topics.
I am a member of [...]

before and after…or after and before…

Here’s the new view of the house from the mailbox.

This picture was taken from very near the same vantage point, in May of 2005.

With the two pine trees and the oak tree from the center of the driveway gone, the house can now be seen from the road. Sure looks odd without those trees…
I know [...]
