Me And My Shadow

Henry's brother turned 3 today......seems like just yesterday we brought him home.



Banjo, you're such a good boy.



And now you can legally drink!

Visualize Whirled Peas

Today Henry turned 5 months old!

So instead of cake he got to taste his first 'solid' food.....sweet peas!!



My big boy. Sniff.

~Hope~

I spotted this in the paper today:



Kind of gives you a little bit of hope for the world, doesn't it?

Hoppy Easter Peeps!

Over There?

Even though I lived in Savannah for 5 years during College and have been back for about a million visits since then, there are lots of touristy things I never experienced.

A Dolphin Tour is one of them.

Since my friend Beth is visiting this weekend I decided to finally do it.

Here is her boy Alex ready to see some dolphins!



Here's Beth.... "is that one?"



Nope, not a dolphin Beth.



"is that one?"



Nope, not a dolphin Beth.



"those"



Nope. Pelicans.



"over there?"



Ummmm no. Those are idiots fishing on a jet ski.



"THAT?"



NO!



"There's one!"



YEP! We saw ONE dolphin appear for a second. So lame.



All these years wanting to do a dolphin tour and I see I haven't missed much!

Still had fun though.

Cat Burglar Strikes Again!

So my famous cat picture has been stolen AGAIN!

My friend Chaney spotted it on some website and sent me an email alert, "so someone apparently came up with the idea to put tiger's, ahem, delicate texts he sent to his lady friends to pictures with kittens. look what was stolen ONCE AGAIN."



LOL! At this point I am not even annoyed, it's just funny.

It's Green!

Today Henry and I went over to Forsyth Park for the traditional Greening of the Fountain...

Here it is before the festivities:

Locals:


My view:


Kid jumping for a better look:


Green!




Too many people!


Henry seconds before he peed on his green outfit:


Erin Go Braugh!

Squares

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day for a walk in the park and around the squares of downtown Savannah.

Since I have been in such a creative rut as of late, I decided to give Henry the camera today......












The boy's got some talent don't ya think??

Fish Heads

I'm not gonna lie- I've got nothing. Nothing I tell you. There is nothing for me to blog about. I am not inspired like I was in Mayberry. Period.

What I do have though, is this picture I took somewhere in Florida last year.



And there you have it.

Do These Pants Make Me Look Fat?

Here's The Story....

Man alive I have been a horrible blogger lately- it's been 3 weeks, really? My how time flies.

So my in-laws just bought a house in their neighborhood as an investment property, and we moved into it this past weekend- hoping this will be our last move for AWHILE!

It is a fantastic house that was built in 1971- all it needs is some TLC and a few updates.

Now, when I say updates I MEAN updates- Darrin and I call it The Brady Bunch House.

Awesome. Who doesn't love the Bradys?

Here a few examples:

The original stove-still works!



The front doors- SO RETRO I LOVE it!



We found a few treasures they left behind too- I'm keeping all of them. So great.

Brillo pad holder- so 70's!



You open this and it is a key holder. So groovy.



And how cute is this?



Love it.



And here is my ABSOLUTE favorite room- it is so 70's I think it is the greatest wallpaper I ever did see. It's not going anywhere.



Well, that concludes my 70's tour. All this Brady style is wearing off on me- makes me want to go cook and clean for my man.

HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you the funniest part! Our street name?
You guessed it..... BRADY STREET!

Woo Hoo!

I'm back in the Yard Art Game with this fantastic arrangement I spotted in our new neighborhood....and NO, we aren't living in a van down by the river.

This Makes Me Smile.

My Favorite Angel

I thought my first post from our new life in Savannah should include a picture from one of my favorite places here, Bonaventure Cemetery. It is one of the the most beautiful, peaceful places I have ever experienced. A few days ago I felt the urge to go visit.

This Angel always draws me to her....



She calms me.

If only she could inspire me to start blogging again.

Just sitting here waiting for some inspiration.

Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.

Goodbye Mayberry

I can't believe it has been 16 months since we began our new adventure in Mayberry USA.
We will never forget the beauty and peace of the Loess Hills- but life pulls us in a different direction right now and we are headed back South to Savannah, Georgia.

OF COURSE we had to move during record low temps ...



seriously?



Thank God Darrin rescued my favorite garden gnome in time to go on the truck....








So what will I call my blog now? Loess Is No More?
HELP!

Stay tuned for tales from a new chapter........

A New Year

I took this pic the day we left Mayberry for the holidays.
I stole a quote from A Bun Can Dance to go with it.



Life is too short to wake up in the morning
with regrets.
So, love the people who treat you right and forget
about the ones who don't.
And believe
that everything happens for a reason......
if you get a chance - take it;
if it changes your life - let it.
Nobody said it would be easy....
They just promised
it would be worth it.
