Good news and bad news

The bad news is that our little Corolla is no more . . .

The good news is that my beloved is miraculously safe and sound!  And we get a brand new car.

Say howdy to the hulas

I don't know if you know this about me but I worked in Hawaii for 4 months in 2000.  Spending January through May in 80 degree temperatures was a burden I had to bear, you're welcome!

It was fun and interesting and sad in a way, I worked so much I didn't have time to island hop so I spent all of my time on Oahu in my proper work attire.  My mom came for a visit and I did get a chance to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center and glimpse the North Shore.

The people were incredible and being with them was the highlight of my time there.  The reason I bring this up is our friends from England, Kathy and Jim are taking a break from the gloom and enjoying Hawaii . . . makes me homesick and V would kill for those temperatures about now.

A little bird

a little bird (thanks Sandeep) told me that I don't blog enough here and it's true!  You might think nothing is happening in our lives, nay, not true!

I am making a goal to update once a week . . .stay tuned.

Casa de BOO

Here's what went on at our house last night:

OK not really at our house but you get the idea!

Cuter than pie, these girls

Twins

Years apart, dear to my heart - oldest and youngest works of art

Beads and Beehives

In the LDS church we have a young womens program for teens and the 12 to 13-year old girls are called Beehives.  My friend Barb asked me to help her class make bracelets and what a time we had!  Here are the results and note:  one of the girls took these pictures with my phone - not bad!

you say tomato, I say eyelid

as I was heading out the door this morning, my darling asked if I knew where his scale could be?  I was thinking he wanted to weigh something while cooking, but no, he wanted to scratch his back while I am not there to do it for him (quizzical look emoticon here).  I showed him the scales we have in the kitchen and he would have none of them.  Finally the light went on - he was looking for a RULER!

The man

I waited 48 years for 

Surprises me at work with lunch today

Large red black handled bag full of lunch, love and luck 

lost in translation

my precious Indian husband is recovering from a broken ankle.  he was rescuing our front porch from starring on the next episode of HOARDERS and fell with a mighty crack.  this morning I saw him sneakily crossing his legs on the sofa and I shrieked, "don't sit Indian style"!  he looked up guiltily and said, how should I sit?

LOL

we say farewell

we said good-bye to our good friend Sandeep - he is headed back to India, but he will return to these shores again, I just know he will.  he is off to his next adventure . . . .bye Indian son

your brother in hats

my beloved loves hats, not all hats, just certain types.  he won't wear baseball caps, truck driver caps, cowboy hats, driving caps, Austrian alps yodeler hats (think Captain Von Trapp, "So Long, Farewell"), tri corn hats, Wee Willie Winkie night caps, ( a little night before Christmas here), do-rag, kerchiefs, Peruvian knitted caps, Elmer Fudd flap caps, Bolivian Bowlers, top hats . . . do you wear hats?

a hair don't!

abigail styled adam for this shot - what are cousins for?

Memorable Memorial Day

And then a little dinner at Spaghetti Factory!

We had a fun Memorial Day with the family and just spending time together!  We went to my mom's for breakfast with Shawn, wendy and the kids.  amber was supposed to be there but she slept in - the bum!

Check out our fun and frolic

girlzzzz

I watched ellie, bethy and spencer saturday night!  we ate pizza, drank rootbeer, saw Princess and the Frog, but the hit of the night were the pop guns we dug out of the basement!

Venkatism

my beloved and I were squabbling over something last weekend and he told me I was comparing apples to orange juice!
