Time for something a little easier on the eyes




This was a plant given to me for Mother's Day from Dad and Mom; I told Jesse that HIS mother's day present to me was keeping it alive. So thanks to him - we have managed to keep a plant alive and well since May (uh, is that when Mother's Day is?)
Now - this is some type of ivy I am told...So who knows anything about ivy's? Not me!
It's alive and well, but it's like a grown-out hair-dye job, the roots are ugly. About 3 inches up from the dirt every part is brown, crispy and seemingly dead. BUT - flowers are still blooming and the vines(?) are getting longer. What do we do next?
It's almost too long for the planter it's currently in. Hmmmm...If it were roses I'd just hang the roses to dry and decide a few weeks later that I have no use for dried roses and toss them. But this...this is different. Heeeelllppp!

Playing in the Rain

Paige gets a huge kick out of standing in the rain and then running to the door under the porch. As you can see in all of her expressions that she really has a lot to say about it; At this point it was just a lot of jibber jabber...My interpretation was that she was having fun so that's what matters!

To All of my Wonderful Friends

1. When you are mad -- I will help you plot revenge.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag you about it every chance I get until you're not.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will try to use only little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will laugh but I'll help you up.

Friendship is like peeing in your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.
