Pretty Pipes (I know, weird title)

September 22, 2011 by Elaine

I drove to the part of town today where I know they have industrial type stuff. And I found these. They are BIG.  I could have laid down in one, you know, if I’d wanted to. I didn’t.  I was wearing a dress.  And I’m pretty sure someone like the dudes walking around in hard…

Sometimes life hands you apples…

September 15, 2011 by Elaine

I was out and about on my own yesterday for a little while.  It was nice. I had in mind the assignment for You Capture this week and specifically planned a trip to the local outdoor fruit and vegetable market just to take pictures of apples. I took my good camera and was going to…

11 Hours a Week!

September 8, 2011 by Elaine

I somehow found myself with 3 whole hours to myself this morning. How did this happen you ask… Well, it’s because all three of my kiddos are now in some sort of “school”! I took Little G and Baby K for their first day at their same school today.  K is technically in “Mother’s Day…

Peace – You Capture

September 1, 2011 by Elaine

We all find peace in different places and different ways.  Sometimes it’s just lying in the bathtub having a good soak while reading a favorite book. Or maybe it’s while lounging in a beach chair with waves crashing and a fruity drink with a straw, ready for drinking. Or perhaps during a nice yoga session….

Ordinary Moments – You Capture

August 18, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I think about what it will be like when my kids are older and don’t necessarily enjoy ice cream this much anymore.  Although that’s impossible right? Ice cream is yummy no matter your age. Perhaps they will look at me like I’ve lost my mind when I tell them to stand by the wall…

I miss fruit

July 28, 2011 by Elaine

Fruit, glorious fruit, oh how I love you so. .. You taste so juicy and sweet… But, this week I wouldn’t know. I chose not to eat you to aid in losing a few pounds. So someone else I know gets to make those juicy smacking sounds.  P.S. Fruit.  I miss you. See you next…

Patriotism – You Capture

July 7, 2011 by Elaine

I want our children to be proud to live in the this country but I think they are still a little young to understand the concept fully.  It’s just a pretty BIG thing to grasp when you really think about it.   I looked at Tim as we waited for the fireworks to begin (on…
