May 12th Photo-A-Day L
Ahhhhhhhhhhh today’s Photo-A-Day L letter just happens to coincide with Mother’s Day and our Anniversary! So I will take this opportunity to use the letter L for LOVE. The LOVES of my life!! Hummmm….…. should I be politically correct and add The Husband first? It is our anniversary after all. Or should I just skip straight to Alice?? (Okay I’m going to start with The Husband; but y’all know the truth right?!?!) Cause really, I am NOT that nice! The Husband; without him the rest of my LOVES wouldn’t fall into place. Thank you for all you do. All the love you give. All your hard work to provide a wonderful life for all of us. Now with all the hard work on our money pit I MEAN new home!! And thank you for taking the dog out in the middle of the night when it’s pitch black dark outside!! (It’s SCARY!!)Selena my first born. Smart, funny and beautiful inside and out. This girl! Such a hard worker. I adore this woman! Even though her phone sends out an SOS alert at least once a week. Zachary; my son. He is sarcastic, warm hearted and handsome as all get out.…
May 11th Photo-A-Day K
Today’s is Photo-A-Day K is a fun photo. When we first moved up here I noticed this little sign. It’s placed just under the larger PRIVATE ROAD (the very last house on the road is us!) and under the neighborhood watch signs. There is a yellow, super small sign. Since I always felt like I was in a hurry to go somewhere or do something I never took the time to stop, get out of the car and actually READ the little yellow sign. I honestly didn’t think it would be anything of interest. Except of course why is it so small?!?! After months of driving past, I finally stopped and got out of the car and read the sign. Now it’s one of my favorite quirks of the road. Someone on Homestead Loop has a great sense of humor!! Now, you KNOW me! I feel the need to add to this post. I’m am on the hunt for a small sign for another equally odd animal. I am thinking giraffe, velociraptor or a pterodactyl. (yes, that is a similar type grouping of animals……… in my head anyway!) So there ya are K is for Koala. You’ll like Photo-A-Day J. Ohhhh…
May 10th Photo-A-Day J
Did you see yesterday’s Letter i? Today’s Photo-A-Day J, SO I thought I would share an embarrassing story with you. I know……. what could you possibly NOT know about me already?!?! Well, did I ever tell you that I’ve been in JAIL?!?! Okay, your eyes had better be BIG and WIDE and you better be thinking “WHAT?!?!?!” Or, you know me in real life and you’re thinking “What only once?!” Yup, that’s me. In JAIL!! Now, here is the story, of course not near as dramatic as you were thinking. In 2000 the new Escondido Police, Fire and Jail was opened. Since my daughter Selena is part of the Escondido Police Department we were allowed to tour the building before it was open to the public. OF COURSE I wanted my picture taken INSIDE of a pristine, clean jail cell. I mean SERIOUSLY! Can you blame me?! I can say I went to Jail without all the weird and negative things that some visitors have to go through. Of course, we immediately sent a picture to my son Zachary who thought it was A REAL PICTURE!!! Now, you know Selena and I kept egging him on because really!? WHO gets…
May 9th, Photo-A-Day I
Today’s Photo-A-Day I As in INSECTS! Remember last year how I complained about all the wasps and hornets on the decks? I filled trap after trap and yet they still kept coming!! We never did get to sit outside and enjoy the sunsets on the deck. Flash forward to Home Depot as I am picking up yet a different kind of wasp trap because …. well, DAMN they just kept coming! When I struck up a conversation with a long time resident of Sandpoint. He laughingly said “You aren’t some city girl that puts the traps where you want to sit are you??” In my head I screamed: Palllllllllllllllllease!! Do I look that stupid to you?!?! But, my mouth said “Ummmmm no??” His face said “DUMBASS read the box!!” what he said was “These will attract the wasps and hornets. Trap them and they die. So, put them away from where you want to be” Yeah. DAMN it. That makes really good sense. (yeah, yeah, yeah such a city girl!) So, traps in hand I walk far from the house (not too far though!) and I am searching for a low hanging branch. When I look up and find 2 wrought…
