All I Asked

Was, will you smile,

so I can take your picture.

And look at the grief that followed!

They finally agreed if they could make a silly face.

I agree of course.

And finally I get this really sweet one.

Yay!

Dance 2010

We left to go to Michigan and we missed the GRAND~girls dance recital.

They were able to catch it on video and Shela did a great job.

She tells us all the time that she is a good dancer.

We agree with her because we think she is good.

Tiny Dancer's 2nd year of dance.

I love freckles.

It's a good thing I do because we are all covered with them.

Shelby has started to be self conscious of hers because everyone mentions them.

Tiniest dancer looked very cute in her costume.

But she got terrible stage fright and so she watched from the audience.

But being cute is the main thing, right?

Both girls don't really want to take again next year.

So we will see.

Last Days Of School

I was able to snap a few pictures of the girls on the last week of school.

We left to go to Michigan the next day so I am just getting around to posting them.

Shelby and teachers look a little messy from Water Day.

They had such a great time and Shelby had invited Uncle Travis and Auntie Jor Jor to go with her and they were delighted.

Oh My

Not an hour after I post my last post this morning

than I get a phone call from the Sweetheart.

He called to say that our "Squash sharing gardening friend"

had brought us a bucket full along with some eggplant and some tomatoes.

Feeling all humble and stuff.

I think we will have some Pork Chops and rice

along with some good ole veggies for supper!

Summer time yum!

What To Do

This is what I picked out of my garden yesterday.

Okay, I ate the tomatoes.

But what do you do with one Okra and one Squash???

There are no more ready to be picked for several days.

If we had to live on what we grew in our garden

I just beleive we might starve,

just sayin!!

Have a great weekend!!

When Your Cable Goes Out

And your tween~age niece is staying with you

and you still have electricity

be sure you let her pick a DVD to watch

when it is already close to 11:00 p.m.

And hope she picks

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding."

And try really hard not to wake the dogs and the Sweetheart

as you are laughing so hard at her laughing so hard

that you nearly pee your pants.

Makes for a fun sleepover.

That's A Big Ugh!

The season officially starts today June 1, 2010 and will end on November 30, 2010.

On Thursday, NOAA released its annual hurricane season outlook in a press release. Like other U.S. weather forecasters, NOAA is calling for a very active 2010 hurricane season, and one that could be the most intense since the 2005 season, that produced 28 storms including Hurricane Katrina.
