An Early Anniversary Surprise

Posted in Family, and Photography

On Sunday, Daddy and Munchkin headed out to the grocery store to get much needed groceries. Our pantry, fridge, and freezer were looking rather bare. Not having the staples is no fun. I made up a list of all the things we needed (at least as many as I could remember) because my head was hurting too much to venture out with them. Normally, sending them out for groceries is a tad dangerous as I never know what might make it into the cart, but this time very few extras found their way home. One of the extras was a…

Making Memories

Project 365 – #188 photo by Munchkin I think it’s easy to get caught up in the gotta spend money to have a good vacation mentality, but the reality is that some of the most memorable times (at least for us) cost the least amount of money.  We love being able to head out into the desert and explore.  The only cost to us is the cost of the fuel to get there and back.  The memories that we create are priceless.  Normally, it’s quality family time without lots of distractions.  It means that we have plenty of time to…

Contentment

Project 365 – #186 photo by Munchkin Is this the face of happiness and contentment or what? “Puppy” loves to go on trips and outings with us.  Normally, he’ll just sit in the back seat, curl up, and fall asleep.  Lately, he’s taken to moving over closer and closer to Munchkin in the back seat.  (We have bench seats in the trucks.)  Pretty soon, he’s resting his head on her lap.  He’s happy as can be cuddling close to her. Yesterday, Munchkin captured his silly content face when he looked up at her.  We all just laughed when we saw…

Project 365 – #185 Yes, I was able to get a closed mouth smile for Independence Day. 😉  May you and yours have a safe and happy Independence Day! When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.…

Wood Spools

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #178 I inherited my mother’s sewing table and machine.  Her table was filled with all of her sewing supplies.  Munchkin and I like to see what treasures we can find in the drawers and the sewing bench.  I love finding things like these older wooden spools of thread.  They are so pretty compared to the plastic ones that you can buy at the stores these days.
