While waiting for the big pinata moment at a family birthday party, my nephew and I made some crazy faces.
I woke up one Saturday morning to find a banana in my backyard. My yard is completely closed off to streets and borders four other yards. I didn't want to think about it.
My boy, my tennis star, Andy Roddick retired from playing this year. I'll admit. I cried when he lost his final match. You could see him getting choked up on the court and it was HARD! However, it was also time. And I'd rather someone go out on their own terms and in their own way. Proud of him.
Look at these beauties! I'm naming them "The Queen and her subjects." My friend works for the IOC broadcasting company and spent almost 2 months in London for the Olympics. I asked her to bring me home something fun and sassy. She did. AAH! They're every bit of fuschia and beautiful as you think!
The past two summers I've tried to make peach freezer jam. Rather than setting up, it turns into something like really thick syrup with fruit chunks. I decided to give it another go and used a different product instead of Sure Jell. And sure enough, this works fantastically! Go find Mrs. Wages. She's a gem.
And finally, this is how Lester is doing. I've been wearing some form of flip flop for 2 months now. I tried wearing my Burkinstocks to school the other day, thinking they weren't as restrictive as a normal shoe and would be a good bridge to breaking back into the real shoe world. As you can see, Lester wasn't having any of it. The good thing was that it wasn't painful and went away relatively fast once my shoe was off and ice was on.
