Ok..I get it. This blog painfully boring these days but could someone please take pity on this post and make a comment. I hate looking down the line and seeing it's the only one without at least one comment. Thanks.

Elllll Camminnnoo

Elllll Camminnnoo (said in a low growlly Spanish accent)
Bad angle but seeing this little truck made me think of the two tone green El Camino my grandmother had in the 70's. She loaded up plants and mulch in it and tootled all around town. I thought it was so cool.

Church Steeple

This neon cross was put up as the steeple in 1955 as part of a renovation on my former church. My dad was attending first grade in the Lutheran school across the parking lot from the church while the renovations were in progress. He said hundreds of bats flew out when they pulled the old steeple down and for years afterwards the barns all around had an over population of bats. My grandpa rewired the church for the cross. It was a point of pride for the congregation at the time. It can be seen for miles around. It's now considered an antique.

Wedding Response Card

This is not a joke. It's an actual wedding response card my dad asked me to put in the mailbox. The torn note was scanned or photocopied onto the post card.

Happy Endings

One year ago today I was experiencing the beginning of a dream. I was blissfully ignorant that there would not be a happy ending for me.

Today I was reminded that some people also get the happily ever after part too.

Congrats, MB, on your first paid gig. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

Eight Months Ago

Eight months ago I gave birth to my son, beautiful, still and silent.

He is no less, just because he is not here.

Corn

In our family, after a summer rain, we often use the expression, "The corn's smiling."
This corn looks pretty happy inspite of the heat wave and lack of rain this summer.
