#10

-


I have been tagged...so here are my pictures. Yes, there are two. Let me explain. The first time I tried to determine the 10th picture, I pulled up pictures from my main picture file. The shot of Josiah came up. But when I went to blog about it, Blogger pulled up a completely different file as my first file, so the picture from Lichtenstein is the 10th picture according to the gospel of Blogger.
The picture of Josiah is from January 2005, so he's almost eight months old. He probably fell asleep in his exersaucer because he'd been up late for his first New Year's Eve. The other pictures in the series are from a little party we attended at the home of some friends in Pacific Beach. Josiah was up late and off his schedule, so I'm thinking that's probably why he was tired enough to fall asleep somewhere other than his carseat or crib. There are also a few pictures in the folder of me giving him a bath while Greta supervised...
The picture of Lichtenstein is from a little family excursion we took in February 2008. We hadn't been in Germany for very long and were trying to get out and see a few of the many castles in the area. Correct me if I'm wrong Hans, but I think Lichtenstein may be the only castle in Baden-Wurttemburg that Annika didn't scream her way through!
I tag:
Lindsey and Lindsey only...just because I'm missing Beneath the Pines!

Isn't that a cute picture of Josiah! I love that he already knew to use his little hands to cushion his face.

Happy Birthday, Rachel!

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Image
Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
