Lucky Stripe

Have you ever found a lucky stripe stone?

Here’s one I found on the island of St. John…

Here’s someone’s felted rock version…

And here is last night’s sky as we sat down to dinner.

A lucky stripe sky.

What’s up with THAT??

I don’t watch the award shows much.

On occasion, something will hold me captive tho.

Beautiful dress…

the pose? ….was just weird.

Even for Angie.

and this… was hilarious.

Not a word was spoken, but Oscar winner Jim Rash had the audience roaring when, just moments after Angelina Jolie announced that he had won an Academy Award, he mocked her strange pose on the stage.

I’m sorry, I usually don’t like when people make fun of others…

but she was asking for… something.

This will also sound catty, but seriously, she needs to eat. ..
she’s starting to look like a frail bird.

Brad, on the other hand, is just looking bored.

Over-exposed?

Oh, come on now…

…have I really only inspired ONE of you to send me a

fridge pic?

I was kinda hoping to see the messy ones,

the empty ones,

the anal ones,

whatever ya got!

I guess it really IS sorta like being naked 🙂

If you’re a health nut and have some tips, share them.
If you want to make some changes, tell us about them.
If you’re already making dietary changes, big or small,
let us know about them by including them with your pic.

Let’s inspire each other here….I think it’s important.

I’m giving you one more day here…

someone.. anyone!… won’t you join my one other brave soul?

Only in winter…

…can we dog people bring our canine companions down to walk the beaches.

The winter has been so mild, I’m taking advantage of every good walking day…

“It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea–whether it is to sail or to watch it–we are going back from whence we came.”

– John F. Kennedy

Love is…

Unconditional

OXOXO

This picture has so much meaning to me and truly represents LOVE! The “I ♥ U” is how my husband and I have always signed our notes to each other and we even had it engraved in our wedding bands. The heart in the middle is actually my 6 year old’s handprints made into a heart shape. She IS my heart and every time I look at my mantle, it just warms my soul. ~ Kathryn

This picture is not a great picture, my niece posted it on facebook
for me to see. But to me this is love. My brother is a Vietnam Vet,
one of those guys that went off as a young man and came back as a
troubled soul who never really came back at all. He is holding his
first grandchild, a baby boy named Ethan. This little guy gave my
brother something to hang on to, when he was ready to let go.
This picture speaks to me of hope.

The attached photo of Shane and I (1999) in Minnesota before we were married.

I adore this photo. And to tell the truth, we still act like this, some 13 years later. 🙂

I took this last summer out on the pontoon. It is a shot of my daughter and her husband, who have been married 13 years, and still in love.

My mother died on Tuesday after a decade long struggle with Alzheimers…

I was playing with colored wire while notifying people about her death on the phone and got this.

Seemed right that it was laying on paper towel… she was ‘ordinary’ and ‘everyday’ and good to have around!

My Vintage cupid that is just hanging around, ready to shoot at anytime.

He’s a little tattered but still adorable!

The folks at Peanut Butter and Co. liked my comment on their facebook page and the fact that I blogged about it. They rewarded me with two coupons for a FREE JAR of their delicious stuff, no purchase necessary, and a handful of dollar off coupons. I’m gonna spread that love even further. Tell me in the comments section below how you like YOUR peanut butter, and I will use the random generator on Friday to pick the winner of the coupons.
