Coming Soon....

WOW....it has been a LONG time!
After such a busy fall and holiday season, I'm ready to hit blogging again!
I have been doing some soul searching the last few weeks and I think it's time to 'be real'.
What am I talking about?!?!?!? Stay tuned and find out....
I am moving up and making right!
I will have a new blog address soon but it will be forever linked here so you can find me! :-)

Stayed tuned...I think it will be worth it!

It's a dog day....

Happy 1st Birthday Ellen!!!!!

Can you believe how much she has changed?
Look how much of her black fur is gone!
Double click on the picture to see her cuteness a little bigger....

Chillaxin....

while I work!

1st day of 7th grade.....

has she changed since 6th?

Blast from the past #5....

She can't quite where her dad's shoes yet but
I did just hand down her shoes (7.5 and 8's)that are to small
to her aunt today!
(there's something not quite right about that...)

Quick trip....

to visit good friends in Richmond, VA was on the calender this week!

We enjoyed getting to know their beautiful city.

We saw lots of sites and visited the botanical gardens which were fantastic.
I took lots of pics!


This is my dear friend Rachel and her children Zoe and Ethan with Hayden.

a quick trip to Colonial Williamsburg

I wonder if it's child abuse to put one of these in at home?

A pleasant surprise ending to our journey...
We took the ferry across the Jamestown River.
The scary part was the fact that my car is the silver green one
right there in front!
I was just a little concerned (in my irrational world)
that they would let me drive the car off the edge
(clarification...not because I wanted to)
but they didn't and it was really fun...
I wanna do it again...did I mention it was free!

Thanks again Rachel...we had a blast!

Opening day...

I have been talking about the 'big news' for a few weeks now...
It's official
I have a new business venture
(to go along with my many others)!


Mixed Metaphor
opened for business today
at the local Saturday Market

I had overwhelming, unexpected success!
I am surprised and amazed...
who'd a thunk?!?!
I'd be selling art?

WOW!
It's sinking in...
Everyone loved it!

Below are opening day...
