Have a good weekend!
I’ll still make time for Tea. I’m taking off for the rest of the week because I… have my last driving lesson today. My test is June 5. Yikes! need to clean out the refrigerator. I have a lot of groceries coming this afternoon and will need to be creative about stuffing them into my [...]
The road from Luby’s to County Line
Four little loaves in my “Easy Bake” oven. Luby’s Cafeteria reminds me of my childhood, specifically Sunday lunch after church with my parents. The food was pretty good, ready right away, and reasonably priced. The best part? The Luann Platter–half portion entree, two sides and one awesome cloverleaf roll. One day a couple of weeks [...]
This is the biggest rose I’ve ever seen
For Brave Sir Robin… Sorry, no photo of the ruler with the entire rose. Too sad at this point! You’ll just have to use your imagination. Isn’t it cool the way the petal starts out yellow and blends into that sort of conch pink? And if you were wondering, the petal is wet because I [...]
First rose of the season
That little black spec on the left is an ant. I waited ages for this to bloom. Its bud was huge–like a really big walnut with a Texas pecan stuck on top. Last week, my aunt commented on how big the bud was and we all wondered what it would look like. But I was [...]
Wellie Weather
View from the master bedroom–you know, the really BLUE room. It’s raining today. Roxi is hoping for more, since there’s a track meet (a “house” competition, yes, like Harry Potter) today after school. She really doesn’t want to do it. She will, of course, but if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll [...]

Haarlem, The Netherlands
Just as Rick Steves promised, Haarlem is darling and well-preserved–a living museum, really. I mean, you can just imagine people walking around in their traditional Dutch attire. By the way, I don’t know if you can tell, but these are over sized wooden shoes. If you take a look at the brick pavers, you’ll get [...]

This site makes my heart go pitty-pat
Okay, I don’t understand half of the things they’re talking about in this video, but it still floats my boat. Seriously, if you’re interested in off-camera flash photography, you should check out the Strobist blog. There are some very fine examples, links to other photogs, and free lighting courses, which I’d like to do once [...]
Aaaand they’re off!
These look like little roses–they’re tiny. Well my parents and aunt are on their way to their vacation from their vacation. They’re going on a 10-day cruise to France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Corsica. I asked my dad to take lots of photos and notes so I can blog about their trip. It’s a good [...]
