flippin' for joy....

What has K flippin' for joy?

Well, because it looks like we can get pictures from another file on here. I may not be able to share our beach trip, but I AM back in business.

UGH...

Well, being unable to put pictures on here has been quite a downer!! All I can get are pictures that have the bottom half cut off or some weird color. Oh well...life goes on.

We've had quite a busy summer. So busy it flew by. I hate when that happens. Hopefully someday I'll be able to share some of the photo highlights here.

I'm working on eating healthier less processed foods. Have a few yummy recipes up my sleeve. :) It's been hard...when certain "unhealthy" products know me by name!

We're gearing up for school. In fact, next Monday we start. I plan to share a lot here about that....like I always do.

Gosh, I hope the photo thing starts working for me SOON!!!

Where did I go this time....

Last week Mike took off and we did some day trips and an overnight trip to the beach. :) I have all sorts of things to share....but the photos are not uploading properly here. In fact, they are downright misbehaving!! Excuse me while I go give them a lecture. Hopefully, after a good night's rest, they will be cooperative tomorrow... :) Sweet dreams!

Just a hint....

When you take this....

whip it together and add a few ingredients on top, you get this...

PLUS a whole lot of smiling people!!
It just doesn't get any easier than that.

A little visitor...

Meet Paco.

J & T were puppy sitting recently. One day they were going to be out for most of the day, so the question was what to do with Paco. K was more then happy to puppy sit for the puppy sitters. She loves all dogs. This one in particular won her heart.

He's just a little peanut and how can you not feel all momma dog on him. Fortunately for K, Paco accepted her attempt to be his momma. He cuddled on the couch with her and soon passed out on her belly. (of course, I missed the passed out shot....but here he is getting ready to settle down)

She makes a good Pet Momma.

ever wonder...

Have you ever downloaded pictures off of your camera and then looked at them? Of course, you have!!! Have you ever looked at them and wondered WHEN in the world you took that photo? Maybe you have if you tend to party a little too hard on the weekends....but that's not the case here. Let's take a look at my recent download experience.

Ahh, a shot of our backyard. I actually happen to have lots of these shots in my collection. Some with little kids playing, some with wild animals(I'll be sharing those soon) and others with beautiful snow covered pine trees....but on this particular week I did not recall taking this shot. If I did...what was I going to say about it? This had me scratching my head...

Then, I moved on....

IF I did take the backyard shot, I did not remember it. But then I get this shot. Ok, yes I planted the mint in this pot to keep it contained....but did I take a picture of it? And now I don't recall it??

Let's look on....

A random shot of the clover....out of focus, but yea that could still be from me! However, I'm starting to feel a little "confused" here and thinking that I really must be losing my mind.

That is....until the next shot gave me a clue.....

That is NOT my foot!! Now, the mystery is over and I suddenly feel relief that my sanity is no longer in question...(heh, watch it! I can read minds, you know!?) If there was any doubt left to who actually took the photos, the next shot cleared it all up....

Back for real....

Whew....where did the past month go? In a few short days we will turn the calendar page to August!!! That actually makes me a little bit sad....but I will adjust. (having the first grand baby due in September AND a son getting married in September makes it a little easier to swallow) Where have I been? Well, life has been keeping me swamped but add along a wee (ok, ok...bigger then wee) touch of laziness and you've got my excuse. I've been missing my blog like crazy, but haven't had the time to sit and think. Don't worry....I'm back, for real. I have tons to share... See you tomorrow!! :)
