Lilies

This weekend Lily, my cousin Math and his wife Jana’s daughter, was christened. Lily was named for my grandmother, Lillian. She also wore my grandmother’s christening gown, which was made by my great-grandmother Sophia. Math, Grandmom, Lily Math, Grandmom, Lily, Jana Jana & Lily Lily & Jana’s father

Ahh… Cuteness

Sadly, I was using my PowerShot and not my Rebel, so very few of the pictures turned out, as I was trying not to use the flash. Bah Humbug. The pictures I took with my phone actually turned out better, which seems extremely wrong. So serious! Much better!

Many Thanks

Many thanks to everyone who has sent cards and letters to my grandmother, and special thanks to Natalie who recycled a box of books in Grandmom’s direction!

Grandmom

Saturday we went to visit Grandmom. She’s been in a rehab facility relearning to stand up and walk and climb stairs again. The facility where she is getting her rehab is really marvelous. We went to the back, which is like a small park with huge shade trees and even play areas for kids–very beautiful. Grandmom still [...]

More Importantly, Happy Birthday to ME!

That’s right, this was the big one. I’m now 40! Does it feel any different? Oddly enough, yes. However, that is not due to my age as much as to the life changing experience of breaking my ankle and being off my feet for six very long weeks. Several years ago I decided that my goal for [...]

Flower Pr0n – Start of Summer Edition

Here it is, the first flower pr0n since I broke my ankle! I missed a lot of flowers: peonies, bearded irises, dutch irises, and a lot of my day lilies, though most of them still seem to have buds. (as always, click through to see the expanded set on Flickr) (more…)

Good Sunday

For those who don’t follow me on Twitter, Grandmom had her surgery yesterday afternoon, and came through fine. She’d broken her femur near the hip, but did not break her hip. They put a rod through the hip and into the femur, and apparently she is supposed to be up and walking today. There was a [...]

Funny Friday

OK. Enough of this depressing bullshit. Bad jokes. Tell ‘em. As many as you want. I’ll start with my favorite. One atom second to a second atom, “I think I’ve lost an electron.” “Are you sure?” “I’m positive.” Next!

2010? You Suck.

Grandmom (who is still in Virginia because of my broken ankle) broke her leg last night. She broke her femur, and was admitted to the hospital. They’re waiting on blood tests to determine about surgery. I am really really really tired of this year.

Aunt Michelle

Spent Saturday with my niece (OK, and her parents too) and Sunday trying to keep my foot elevated. For obvious reasons, there won’t be any flower pr0n any time soon (I missed the peonies completely, my roses are blooming like mad as is my lavender, and I can’t smell either!) so here are some pictures [...]

Celebration of Another Year Around the Sun

Happy Birthday today to two people, to my brother, who I’m sure is now short of sleep taking care of my beautiful new niece, and to Gina, best wife a girl could want. ;)
