Intimidated......

No, not at all.  My camera may not be as powerful, but it still kicks out some sweet pictures.  We decided to take the photo challenge up a notch and have the camera stare-down!!

Text or call........

This little black/grey flip phone can sometimes be my best friend or worst enemy.  BUT, today I received a text that put a HUGE smile on  my face.  Modern technology... where would we be without it!!!

Anyone up for a wax?

So this is Paul in a few steps of preparing to have the little hairs up his nose..... ripped out... YIKES!!!  Yes, Erica is applying a wax up his nose to remove the hair in Paul's nose, claiming this will help him breathe better.. (what in the heck is he thinking??)   1st - apply, 2nd let the wax hardened up and 3rd... let Erica rip this stick and wax out of your nose as she pinches it...   And he calls me a DIVA!!!!  I think I'll keep my hairs...

Focus.... 

Today we had an unexpected visit to the eye Dr. due to a blood vessel break in Paul's left eye.  The Dr. didn't seem to worried about it and just suggested to Paul that we jot down today's date and keep track on his next vessel break.  Yes, this happens to him at least once a year. The last time this happened Dr. Jory told Paul that he would like to see him the day of the vessel break to do an evaluation on the cause, and to see if there was something more serious going on with him.... Dr. said, everything looked fine but to rotate the cold and hot compress on his eye...AND the Dr. suggested that I quit giving him my left hook shot...  I love our eye Dr. Jory ~ he is simply the best!!

If Only I knew.... 

What an amazing book that can be read over and over and over again.  In the past four (4) months I've lost 4 friends.... and all of them so young.... As many of you may or may not know ~ I hate to read... Yep, it's true!!  BUT in early October my dear friend Christy Christensen gave me a little gift to help me get through the struggles of the ups and down, and I love this book.  The front covers reads as follows:

If Only I knew

Gentle Reminders

to help you treasure

the People in Your Life

Here are a coup of my favorite quotes:

If only I knew I could never share another day with you... I would make the most of every second.... 

If only I knew I was about to lose your smile, I would thank you for all the joy you've brought to my life...

Lighting the way.....

I've never really paid attention to light post, but this one lights our corner every night.  When I look at this light, I picture myself in Europe.... This is my view almost every morning as I head out to work.. I love the beauty of clouds....

Dex knows.... 

I guess I really don't pay attention much... about payphones... I can't believe they still have payphones. Most everyone I know owns a cell phone...  We were at the store and this guy was talking on the phone ~ I came to a dead stop to reach for my camera, but he was gone by the time I got it on and focused.... When I was a little girl before cell phones, the cost to use the phone was 10 cents, and now it starts anywhere between 25-50 cents in most areas and in others ~ 10 minutes for $1.00.  Classic!!
