Shoot Me Now

This month's photo challenge theme is "Outdoor Activities."  I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with!  It has been a while since I've participated in this challenge and I am so happy to be back. One of the greatest outdoor activities I know is standing in line at the ic...

This past weekend I was on a great antiquing adventure in Selma, NC with friends.  One of them purchased an early 1960's Sears catalog.  As I flipped through the pages in the hotel room I was brought back to a time I hardly even knew.  With each turn of the page I laughed, ooh'ed and ah...

This month's photo blogging challenge theme is blue.  MY FAVORITE COLOR!  We have been painting rocks to hide and to keep in our own rock garden.  I looked over at the table and realized the shark rock was about to eat the OTHER shark rock.  A very funny placement! 2.  This ...

The summer of three surgeries is what I like to call it.  And of illness.  Still.  I am currently fighting an infection that won't go away, so prayers and positive vibes are OH so appreciated.  On top of that, my oldest - the cardiac arrest open heart surgery kid - was rear ended last ...

This is me a day or two before sinus surgery. Look how calm I appear. Little did I know. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have suffered from sinus infections for my entire adult life. Antibiotics stopped working to clear them up, sending me down the sinus surgery road. Day surgery...

Tuesday I go under the knife. After a lifetime of sinus infections, antibiotics have finally stopped working.  And that is scary.  So Tuesday I go in for three types of sinus surgery, none of which I can spell or pronounce.  Bottom line, all of my sinuses will be opened up and bone wil...

This month's photo challenge theme is, "Look Up."  This is my favorite theme so far - it helped  me to remember to always look up!  That is the downside to being addicted to finding seaglass.  Your eyes are always gazing towards the ground!  From a hospital bed to looking up at...

This weekend brought hot weather, sun and Outer Banks wildlife for about four hours.  Then the weather turned cold and windy.  But no matter.  Corolla is beautiful in all types of weather. The rabbit population in Corolla, NC is certainly healthy this year.  This little one hops arou...

My how busy it has been.  I am looking for a second job, trying to find scholarships and funding to enable my oldest son's college dream to come true and everything in between. But in the middle of all the chaos came a beautiful mother's day weekend in Corolla.  The Corolla that doesn't...

This month's photo challenge subject was Color.  I had a wonderful time choosing my favorites and can't wait to see the photos others took!  We have had this dragon kite since the children were small.  It was worth every penny. 2.  A family member sent me these whimsical Ha...

I'm not a tattoo girl.  I have a few fun small ones, but nothing anyone would notice.  I waited until I was 50 to get them because hey.... if you wait until you are older you don't have to live with them for very long, right?  But as far as big tattoos, good Catholic girls raised in con...

This month's photo challenge subject is four because the A 'lil HooHaa Photo Blogging Challenge has turned four!  I can't wait to see everyone's pictures.  I'll look forward to visiting everyone's sites on Saturday as I will be traveling Friday night.   A horseshoe crab and four m...
