Plan B

Life is all about how you handle Plan B.

Super Bowl Crossing Guards

Our Crossing Guards this morning . . . one of them was a little more liked than the other one this morning.  :)

Have a great weekend!

rainy day picture walk . . .

 

 

 

 

I spent my lunch hour taking a walk today.  I was hoping it would be raining - so I could just listen to the rain and enjoy, but the rain had let up.  As always when I go for a walk . . . I see what I can see.  Something usually catches my eye.  I had to smile when right before I got back to work I saw the chalk on the block wall . . . what could be better than

Peace ~ Love ~ Happiness.

Good Morning . . . good day!

I had hoped to have my doll done a few days ago . . . but I'm just letting life get in the way.  That's OK - because it's the good part of life, but I really had hoped to get more than just one doll made this month.  At least I worked on her a little bit last night.  I have her name picked out . . . and some ideas for her story - I just keep getting distracted.

I also folded some origami cranes.  I have a friend who teaches at an intermediate school and her classes are studying Japan.  Some of the kids in her two classes went to school where I work and they remembered me folding origami cranes with them when they were in 4th grade . . . so I told her I would fold enough cranes for the kids in her two classes. 

We woke up to rain this morning.  I don't think it is supposed to amount to much, but we will take what we can get . . . we really need the rain.  I really like rainy days . . . today is going to be a good day!

Peace!

Homemade Pizza . . .

 We made pizza for dinner last night . . . it turned out so good.  I had a Boboli pizza crust that I brushed with olive oil and put on a small amount of Alfredo sauce.  We then topped it with shredded chicken, fresh spinach, tomatoes, fresh garlic, red onion, mozzarella & Parmesan cheese and topped with jalapenos.  So tasty - that we felt that we had to give it a name.  "Garlic Monkey Pizza"

I am up to crane #411 with my crane project . . . slow, but I am making progress.  I am nearing the half way point. 

Peace, Love, Cranes

For the love of . . .

 



 



Italian Wedding Soup

We made Italian wedding soup for dinner tonight.  Richard found the recipe in Food Network magazine.   Next time . . . we will add a little Italian sausage to the meatballs and maybe top with a different cheese . . . but it turned out pretty good. 

blue cranes . . . & happiness

 



Happiness depends less on what happens to us, and more on how we view the past, enjoy the moment, and create the future.

good weekend . . .

sleeping Charlotte . . . midnight waffles . . . Friday night paper cranes . . . recycled tennis balls (since Charlotte is now the same height as the table)

 . . . and Sunday BBQ with the kids.  I wish we had a little more weekend.

Fun . . . 24-7

What a wonderful lazy Saturday . . . I did get a few things done, although not enough - because lunch, cribbage, and watching a movie seemed much more important . . . and definitely more fun.

Luke and Jake

 Weren't they just small boys . . .  not that long ago?

I don't really want to explain why this photo means so much to me . . .

I don't even think I could explain it to them  . . .

I love my sons!

playground geese . . .

These geese spend a little time each day on our playground.  I don't always get outside when they are there . . . but I had to walk outside yesterday morning and once I heard them - I turned around and got my camera.  Not very good photos . . . but it was fun trying to get close enough to them so I could even snap a picture.  Every time I would take few steps toward them all their heads would pop up and they would start moving.  I was as patient as time allowed and was able to snap a couple of pictures.  I love the sound they make . . . especially when they are flying overhead. 

I think everyone on our campus enjoys them . . . one of those little simple pleasures that life gives us - if we take the time to notice and enjoy.

GOT TENNIS?

A  little bit of Friday photo fun this morning. 

GOT TENNIS?

photo apps and a doll . . .

I so enjoy the photo apps on my phone . . . I have a bunch, but seem to always go back to a couple of them that I really like.  I like taking the same photo . . . and seeing it with different effects.  One of those simple little things that I get excited about.  :)

I have been working on a Shabby Charlotte doll.  I had hoped to have her finished last night, but I can easily get distracted . . . with photo apps, taking a walk, watching the Australian Open and the rest of a movie I wanted to finish - so maybe she will get finished tonight. 

Have a great day!

Good night for a walk . . .

Nothing like a nighttime stroll

to give you ideas.
