baby just not tired

The youngest member of the trio is a night hawk.  She really has no use for getting sleepy.  But when eleven thirty rolls around and 5 books have been read a couple of times each and she sees the look in her mothers eyes, then she points to the eyes, ear, hair, ear, eyes, eyes, eyes....something then clicks and she gives it up to visit dreamland.  Call me up in dreamland.  She rolled hard for 12 hours today.

swelly jelly belly

Watermelon is hands down the best jelly belly....what do you think?

fair is fair

The fair has arrived which signals the end of summer.  It means children going back to school is just around the corner.  It means that I can go and ride a ferris wheel at any time during the next four days.  It means that some moms are having their babies go off to college.  But what is fair is fair, we do the best we can and then maybe as they are leaving the house for their own adventure we all begin to reflect on what has happened.  I know I will do my best so that some day when the youngest member of our trio is ready to leave the nest I can say I was present and aware as good as I could have been.  Maybe that will make things easier.  

junk

I used to be a picker...I enjoyed auctions, yard sales, flea markets, estate sales.  My collection became quite vast...... I collected pottery, incense burners, gardening stuff, kitchen stuff, and well stuff.  Slowly but surely my stash of vintage finds dwindled wether I gave it away or sold it at flea market or lost it or had it stolen.  I have very few trinkets left, this is probally a good thing, that stuff had no real sentimental value.  But lately I think it is time to revisit this past addiction of mine......I am again on the search for the perfect pick.
