Day 56 of 365

I have had this plant since my moms funeral 2 years ago. I have named it "Lazarus" because I forgot to water it and it dies -- but then it comes back to life again after I give it some water and sunlight. I don't have a green thumb at all. I'm pretty sure that Lazarus is close to death again!

Day 55 of 365

I started a new online class today -- "Picture Inspiration" from Big Pictures. I love the prompts that the instructor gives us, today's was "This is all about You." I needed to take a self-pic and this is what I came up with. Grant took this picture -- he is becoming quite the photographer!

Day 52 of 365

Happy 47th Birthday Craig!!!!

We celebrated yesterday after church by eating at the local Chinese buffet. The boys and I got Craig a new Steelers clock and two shirts. It was as much as a surprise to the boys as it was to Craig. If Connor knows what the gift is, he always tells the birthday person. He doesn't like surprises too much!

Day 51 of 365

I'm still recovering from the fun weekend of scrapbooking! We got this cute little Cricut plush as a gift yesterday.

Day 50 of 365

I made my own t-shirt today. I loved the Yudo machine, but I don't think it's something that I need to have! LOL

65 degrees outside and the snow from the "Blizzard of 2011" almost gone?!?!?!!??! It's time to jump of joy!!!! Woo-hoo!!!

Spring has to get here soon! The boys are climbing the walls from being inside to much!

Day 46 of 365

Just adding to my addiction of collecting vintage cameras. This is a 1950 Rolleiflex -- still works and has film in it!

Day 45 of 365

Happy Valentine's Day!!! We celebrated as a family and stayed in. Craig fixed steaks out on the grill (after he shoveled the snow away from it!) and they were so good!

Day 44 of 365

Grant and Connor sat down today after church and signed their Valentines Cards. I always loved doing these! Both boys are going through the stage where they think girls are weird (that will change!!!!) and decided to give them all the "ugly" cards. LOL!!!

Day 43 of 365

My soon-to-be 9 year old son, Grant. When I was his age, I didn't know that a computer was!!!

Day 42 of 365

I've been reading a lot lately about vintage cameras. Film is making a come back and you can find some amazing cameras on ebay for dirt cheap. This is a Kodak Pleaser II camera -- an exact replica that I had in 1985. I took my camera to Washington DC and took tons of pics with it. Unfortunately, Polaroid sued Kodak because they were the first ones to make an instant picture. Kodak lost and had to destroy all of their inventory. This camera still has film in it. I just need to get a battery to see if it still works. If it doesn't, that's ok! It was $3.00 on it brings back a ton of memories for me!

Day 41 of 365

The I-74 bridge. I cross this atleast 4 times a day (sometimes more!) taking the boys to and from school.
