Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
The Falcons triumphed again 29-7. Officially 4-0 in their league. Another impressive game. #55 was *this* close to a touchdown twice today. Another wide open pass that was thrown a little behind him so that he could not make the clean catch - when there was NO ONE but one defender who he had already... Continue Reading →
More traditional photos of the house with a few explanations of what I was thinking or seeing in my mind as I painted: But first, some mis-direction! No paint visible up there. Thought I would start out with a shot of where I am sitting right now. I opened the last post on this topic... Continue Reading →
Thanks to my August mom buddy from CT, here is a link to PalinBingo!

Check out how beautiful the fields are: I love these rocky hills: I thought I would take a stab at the sun rising from the foothills to... Continue Reading →
As I said last weekend, just because the football team has a bye does not mean we sit on our butts this weekend. Oh no. Instead, we drive out to our second home (Temecula, which is 50 miles north east of here) and play in a baseball tournament. First game the team is playing since... Continue Reading →
I know, I said I wasn't going to do appointment blog topics. But then, I found out that when you declare that you will stop doing something, like oh...campaigning for instance...if you declare that you are suspending something..you don't *really* have to DO it!! In fact, all you really have to do is just not... Continue Reading →
