Wow, am I the only one who drives around, seeing pictures in my mind, thinking "that would make a good post!" Only thing is, I never have my camera, I am not much of a photographer, and how on earth can I portray on this blog exactly how witty, humorous, talented, and genuine I am?
Today - I grabbed my camera along with my purse, determined to snap a picture when the opportunity arose. And this is what I got...
As I glanced in my rearview mirror on my way to work, the motorcycle rider behind me looked a little suspicious.
I looked.
I looked again.
Is that a symbol on his helmet?
Does that say ECILOP on his windshield?
POLICE!
Since I have my own personal freeway to work known as "The Salmon Falls Rd" (speed limit 35) it is fortuitous that there was a slowpoke in front of me going the speed limit.
Not wanting to raise the alarm, I carefully continued on my way, reaching over to secure my camera in my hand. I turned the camera on but didn't want the nice policeman to pull me over for "snapping a picture in my rearview mirror while driving 35" so I simply got prepared to snap the shot at the next stop light.
I glanced quickly down to see that my camera was on the correct setting.
That is when I saw the spider.
SPIDER!
Rapidly making its way down to my lap, ready to munch on me for lunch.
I have no idea what that policeman thought as I started batting myself, screaming, and desparately trying to maintain control of the car.
Can you see him in this closeup? (not the spider, I hope he is dead now)
Next thing I noticed was how much clearer the picture was in my side mirror.
This was at the next stop sign.
See the nice policeman?
Now don't you wish I had left my camera at home?
It was a LOOOONG car ride down (think forgotten items, construction delays, lots of holiday traffic) and an even longer ride home (think breaking d
own in NYC!) Still it was all 
worth it! An inspirational and motivational day, lots of attention for sweet baby Lillian, and Chubby's Cheesesteaks. Family an
d friends rounded out the trip and we had a ball.
He tore the ceiling out above the bay in order to insulate and protect us from the cold.
Aren't they beautiful? I can hardly wait to get the living room finished.
Only three more windows and the massive window project is complete!
We* had displays.
We* also included displays on family finances.
And that is why I wore the same clothes over and over again all summer - since I never came back home for 7 whole weeks!
As I glanced in my rearview mirror on my way to work, the motorcycle rider behind me looked a little suspicious.
See the nice policeman?
Honestly, a picture says a thousand words! Here's Liv...
Buddy and his beautiful granddaughters...
Lil did have her moments of happiness in these pictures, but we never caught them on camera! I know it has been a long time since I have posted, but I promise to get caught up one of these days. For now, this will have to do!
The three troublemakers.
Alexander loved this bench.
How long do you think it took us to get this shot of Lil?
