Creative Response

On a previous post I asked for help in identifying a plant. I received several responses but the most creative was this painting my Gramma H. did for me. As you may be able to tell, I've framed it in a floating frame and it now adorns my office wall. I love it! Thank you so much, Grandma! It means a great deal to me!

Edit: You might notice the beam of sunshine- this is a rare sighting here. Most of this "summer" we have not had actual sunshine. Almost every day has been overcast.

In Case You Missed It....

My "little" sister has made a big announcement. In case you missed it, click here for the post on her blog where she reveals what's new in her life.
She has always been one to make her announcements special!
I can't wait. I am hoping to be able to earn enough airline miles to go out for a visit in the spring.
Here's hoping!

Why you should proofread. I couldn't help it!

This sign was posted on the front of the gas pump. Oddly enough, I was on my way to my first class in Technical Writing, which is a course designed to prepare people for on the job writing.

It should serve as a testament to us all: Proofread and don't totally rely on spell check.

My iPhone. I don't know how I did this.....

More bars in more places.

I guess I watch too much tv.

Disappointment but Later a Good Surprise

Well, yesterday I missed Ranger's phone call. I was so bummed. He won't be able to call for a while because he's in his final field training exercise. However, I got a letter from him in the mail today and he told me that I could find a picture of him online. It took Sgt. Dad and I both to be able to recognize him. Can you believe that I had a hard time identifying my own son??? He's changed A LOT! Enjoy this photo of him.

Sometime tomorrow I'll update on our visit with Sgt. Dad's parents. We went on a glacier sight seeing cruise and through the famous tunnel to Whittier. More on that adventure and the photos tomorrow.
