siblings


i haven't mentioned yet that i have the 3 greatest siblings a gal could ask for.  i'm so proud to be the big sister to each one of them.

mom's sticks

(rue)

i've been collecting bits of driftwood the last few trips to the beach and have yet to do anything with them.  they just sit in odd areas of the house.  this might be a good way to jazz them up and put them out with some actual purpose- so long as someone stops nabbing them and chewing them at every opportunity that i'm either not home or not looking.

Mail Bowl Update

After sorting through my literature to read this week- I found this at the bottom of the bowl.


How lucky am I?  Just another phenomenal item to add to the list of 'mail received'.

life is just a bowl of mail


meet my 'mail bowl'.
if i'm lucky, my week begins with a bowlful of mail.
i've received everything from NYT magazines and Sunday Styles, to M&Ms, to plastic tarantulas- that's only to name a few.

heavy reading this week.

damage done

little house on the bay


we had to say goodbye the other week to our little house on the bay.


and hello to the little house in the pines.
she's a work in progress, but i can tell she's going to be a good one.
