Taking pictures of the bridge helps me not think about crossing the bridge. I guess I was too young when I read a Reader’s Digest article about a bridge falling into a river, taking cars with it…left a negative impression on me that lingers to this day…but this looks like a strong bridge, doesn’t it??

This week’s Macro Mondays theme is “childish.” Here are my submissions. Glitter glue…sticky, messy fun. Love to mom. This (and one for dad) hangs on the fridge. A childish urge…don’t you just want to dip your finger in the sweet frosting goodness of it all? Three posts instead of five to Macro Mondays this week, […]

Dad’s and Mom’s high school graduation pictures. My parents nine months before they were married. I think they were on their way to […]

I took this picture while waiting for DD at riding lessons. We have a small box full of old negatives from DH’s family. This one caught my eye. It was probably taken in […]
Last week, I tried these new recipes and both were very good. DH said several times, “this is a good meal,” which is always nice to hear. And DD asked me to make the potatoes and chicken again. Rosemary Ranch Chicken The chicken recipe called for the chicken to be cubed and grilled on skewers. […]
