Shoot Me Now

First, we saw men sweeping sand off the stairs.  Then we saw the beginnings of a carefully constructed canopy.  Finally, we saw… Look at their faces in the last picture.  The preacher finally announced they were man and wife.  My wish for the happy coup...

Imagine we are sitting together for lunch… perhaps at Chipotle.  We haven’t seen each other in a week or so.  We begin to talk about what has been happening in our lives.  What are the things I would tell you?   Yesterday my son called to say there was a big water leak i...

Memorial Day weekend brought me big pain after a small medical procedure meant to help fix a locked facet joint and twisted spine.  That is a whole other blog post, with recent news about my accident pain that I have yet to fully digest… much less swallow. I was sent away with strict...

“Mom!  Foxes!  Two of them!” Knowing how skittish they are, I assumed a picture would… well… not be in the picture.  Still, I raced for the camera bag, unzipped it as I tiptoed to the deck and crossed my fingers as I waited for it to turn on. In that short bit of time, both of...

I was sitting at a stoplight when I spied her.  The most well kept mother I have ever seen in my life. Just look!  Her gorgeous red dress flows over her beautifully rounded pregnant belly.  The hue of her flowing gown matches the rich tones of the stroller….with umbrella included. A...

It started last weekend at the beach house.  The literal “beginning of the end” for my son.  It had to happen to ONE of my kids, considering my own addiction.  It began with my mother and son’s simple errand run.  A trip to Ace Hardware and then a quick stop at Corolla Dunkin Don...

What better way to share my mother's day weekend than in pictures. Don't worry, Jaws is back in the water. My son's shark is back as well.  This baby's eyes were beautiful. Black KOW. Story to follow. Pelicans! Currituck BBQ.  Home of the most amazing sweet...

Yup, I'm thinking fake plastic animals don't scare away geese.  Just a wild guess?...

I can’t tell you how many times I thought his name meant something beyond my own comprehension. After all, he was named after a Greek god, wasn’t he?  Some great figure, comparable to Zeus or Poseidon. The word just rolls off your tongue in an elegant fashion…. Say it with me…. N...

I took picture after picture this weekend with my modest little camera.  Trees bent from the ocean’s strong winds… unsuspecting critters… and even a pile of scat or two.  (I will spare you, but I SWEAR I found coyote scat rather than the typical fox scat!  And yes, I took a pictur...

If a blogger misses her regular postings, can you hear her poop in the woods when she falls down?  I don’t know, something like that. Rather than give you a clever story or embarrassing moment, I’m just going to tell you where I’ve been!  Jail?  Nope.  Hospital?  Nah.  Life ...
