Learning to Read

Behind the Wheel

On My Screen

Yesterday, I had the rare privilege of watching a movie I wanted to watch and, all by myself too! I have read the book this movie is based on last year and really liked it. The movie, even though it leaves out some key elements of the story-like Evelyn's Catholic faith-, is very good in its own right.

New Haircut

Now, what can I do for those circles under my eyes?

Enjoying the neighbor's flowers

Our next door neighbor was taken to a nursing home recently. Today it was such a gorgeous day that I went outside with my camera. As I wander around our front yard I noticed these hydrengias flowering in her garden. They are so pretty. It made me sad to know that Mrs. N. is not going to be here to enjoy them ever again.While in her yard, I also noticed these magnolia blossoms. I thought they were interesting looking.

Fun Game

It has been a while since we had the chance to play a board game. Today we played Settlers of Catan. It was fun. We don't know who won because we had to interrupt the game. Hopefully I'll win but I doubt it. In this game you have to have a (gasp) strategy!

Grilling Season and Mark's Birthday

Grilled salmon, grilled vegetables, grilled bread and German Chocolate cake were on the menu for Mark's birthday dinner. Que Rico! (that's Spanish for yummy)

Images from Six Flags

Thursday was homeschool day at Six Flags. Here are some of the images from a fun day.

A Big Step in Faith

Gabi got confirmed today. May God bless her abundantly with his Holy Spirit!

In the Garden

There is nothing pretty about a pile of dirt. This year we are trying to do a "Square Foot Garden". This is the dirt mixed according to the directions on the book.

The last two pictures are part of my herbs (basil and mint)that I am growing in pots outside my kitchen.

Guess where I was at 11:00 pm tonight?

And do you know you can see the most interesting characters there? I wish I had the courage to take pictures!
