Life's not that perdictable.


This is my view from my kitchen window right over the sink. Earlier this spring I planted a huge planter just outside my window with a huge beef stake tomato plant. (We gave up gardening in real gardens a few years back.) We just can't seem to get things to grow very well. Case in point. No Beef Stake Tomatoes........but hmmmmmmm what is this a beautiful Sunflower. I've really enjoyed it as I do my dishes each day, maybe even better than the I would have the tomatoes. "NOT". But I have learned sometimes in life we get what we get and we should enjoy the twist and turns that weren't expected. After all there is alway the farmers market for those tomatoes right?

They're still having patience with me after 48 years

Well we had a real treat this week with my parents coming out to visit us for about three days. Lucky me, I got called in to work three different nights for 12 hour shifts each time. This picture was taken just as I was coming home after the last call-in, and they were leaving to go home. I felt so bad about the whole thing. But all in all we made good use of the time that we had together and they just rolled with the flow. The family really enjoyed their stay too. We love them and are glad that they came.

One thing I thought that I would never tolarate


I was in my bathroom putting on my makeup and I looked over at my bed and just shook my head. Oh well at least he is on Richards side.
