I am at work - It is late and I am bored. I have finished up my last report; a review of an awful appraisal. So I have spent the last two hours ripping up someone else's work and I am ready to head for home in a lovely critical and nasty mood....  Hmph. I called Louis and the babies are climbing the curtains and he sounds like he is climbing the ( Read more... )

This is real - The mate God has chosen for you will change your perspective - even the color blue....

Today we took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill

Groceries have to happen in our humble abode or nobody is happy - so hence, the lack of funds means a trip to WINCO to shop and feel outrageously gorgeous and a bit monetarily challenged while counting up the groceries as you put them in your cart.....

Rashan, Kinsa, Brooke, Seth, and then us permanents - Louis, Me, Aiden, Jo and SJ. We are quite cozy. Well not really. The house still feels empty. I sat on the beach last night with Lou contemplating priorities and were I focus. He says that I have been lost since K & T graduated. Maybe I have been. I am in the midst of reconstructing and ( Read more... )

As I was driving away from an inspection today, a large lump in the road ahead of me caused me to ease up on the accelerator. The lump spread open enormous wings and looked at me with huge eyes.
