'Cause she's soooo old

Cami just recognized a sweatshirt that I'd pulled out of storage, "I love this...it reminds me of childhood & I love it."

Happiness is...

Happiness is...watching Gracie sleep on her first birthday.

Eyepatches Everyone

Kid Quotes from the last five minutes.

"Anybody who doesn't get on the boat will have to walk the plank!"

"Join us or die." (Cami does not realize she's quoting the Sheriff of Nottingham.)

(Rosie warning about the fearsome Grace):  "A pirate!  A pirate!  A little pirate!"

Happiness is...

Happiness is...gardening with Gracie and finding the gooseberry bushes & fruit tree are blossoming.

United Colors of Benetton

Thank Clio, the lady on the far right, for the post title.  It's appropriate because, not only are our clothes bright (I was wearing green & blue), but the five of us represent six countries:  Scotland, Venezula/Colombia, Panama, France, &  US.  A temple trip to unite friends.

Where I Shop

 When I'm driving outside Ilkley, I see these windmills in the distance & I feel content.  But they also mark something unexpected. I was driving home with some friends from the Preston Temple yesterday & said, "I'm going to do something that looks insane."  I pulled off the road onto a one-lane bridge that crosses this lake.

 
At the far end of the bridge sits a little shed with this sign. 
 

And these views.

The next time I go egg shopping, I have some friends who want to come along.

Unique Uno

As we were concluding a family game of Uno, Rosie threw a bunch of cards in the air.  When Jason, in exasperation, demanded, "Stop it!" she replied, "I was trying to juggle them!"
