Will & The New Antique

The new antique

Working on the "Happy Baby" pose (admire the thighs)

Do you think he gets his sneer from me or Hans? It's hard to say...

That's not how I pictured the "trunk". It's beautiful! I thot it would look something like that one that dad had. Anyway, it's gorgeous! I'm sure you won't have any trouble thinking of things to store in there. And, Will? He's SO cute...so thoughtful looking. He's probably wondering what toys he should put in the trunk...

Wow, what a little punkin'! I think he's just adorable. Are his eyes blue/green? I can't tell. Please give him a big hug from me.

As for the trunk - it's lovely! Did you get it at the shops we visited last year?

That is a beautiful trunk. Were you looking for one or did it just catch your eye when you were shopping? I love when that happens!

Will looks cute as ever!

The antique trunk is really neat.

And what can I say, Will is so cute! I love his round face. He reminds me of Peder when he was that age.

Yeah, VW Beetles and a LOT of spit-up...I just noticed that he must have had carrots or sweet potatoes for supper!

Great photos, Will has grown so much. I will leave the happy baby pose to him, I never do that pose in yoga, somethings should not be done in public. I love your piece!

He does so good with the happy baby pose. I wish I could master it as he has.
Trunk is great-it totally reminds me of a record player from either the farm or mom and dad's house??

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

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))....
