Jealous?

Here's my garden pickings of the morning. Lots of tomatoes (some were from Saturday), a melon, piles of onions (only showed a few), and yes, that is a full container of ripe red raspberries. Yummy! Not sure why our cats think they must get in on all pictures if possible.
Alright, here we get personal. This is my office nastiness two weeks ago. These pictures do not begin to do justice to how nasty it was getting. With school starting next week, I HAD to have the office clean so I could function in it. David's school desk is in the office and when it was messy, we couldn't find it.



And here are pictures taken last week after spending a few hours a day on the office organizing, sorting, purging clutter. It was finally clean and presentable. I MUST keep it clean. It feels so much nicer to have it clean. Makes school days a little less cluttered too. These pictures do not show everything - like the office closet I sorted through and the piano top I cleaned and decluttered. But I think you get the point.

    I'm sure the office looks great, but I'm still staring longingly at those raspberries...

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Triplets Nine Years Apart

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
