It’s the Little Things…

July 22, 2009 by Elaine

The boys and I went to a local outdoor farmer’s market this morning. The B Man tried his first plum (I’m not a fan so I’ve never offered them up before) and we found a watermelon that was YELLOW on the inside. Me no likey. Nevermind that it was mealy on the inside, but yellow?…

June 17, 2009 by Elaine

I know it’s probably already getting old and it’s just starting. You know, about the moving and all but well, that’s kinda my life right now, so here it is again. Something about moving. But I included a pretty picture, so at least there’s some eye candy to get you through… This is a bloom…

Texas, My Texas

June 16, 2009 by Elaine

As we prepare to leave the great state of Texas for who knows how long, I’m pondering what a BIG deal it really is to me. I’ve lived somewhere in Texas since I was a wee 16th month old. All the big things that have happened in my life have happened within in these borders….
