We got home from our trip at a decent time today. We didn’t feel too haggard and my lunch “on the road” at Panera Bread (which this town does not have. hmph.) was quite tasty. Then we feasted on hot dogs (thank goodness we had SOMETHING in the fridge) and some of the sweetest corn…
Unplugged
I’m going here. See you on the flip side. 🙂p.s. check out my somewhat related guest post at Momma Make it Look Easy
Shell Beach
There was noise in the busy restaurant all around me as I opened the box. But I didn’t hear it. My Mother leaned in over the table and said, “He picked it out himself.” I smiled as I examined the silver cross with my fingers and then felt his hand gently on my right shoulder….
At The Ocean
Water gives life. It also takes it away. Write a short piece – fiction or non-fiction – inspired by one or both of these statements. I sat at the edge of the surf, just in the right spot for the water to hit my feet every time the tide came up. The sand was cooler…
You Capture – At the WATER
I find it quite timely that I happened to take a trip to the beach last week and this week’s theme is Water. I’m using it to my advantage and posting several of my favorite pictures from our trip. ENJOY. Baby K’s toes touch the sand and water for the first time The evening we…

I’m not sure how to express what a “time” we’ve had on this vacation. We are here with our good friends, who also have two boys, including one that is also six and great friends with The B Man. And. If I had a little dime for every time the aforementioned words “poop” and “farts”…
You Capture – FUN!
How ’bout some “beach vacation” style FUN? That qualifies, right? Playing in the sand for the very first time is FUN Four boys on a bunk bed is totally FUN Smiling really big for a family picture after Mommy says “poop and farts!!” is incredibly FUN Getting ready for the pool to go play ‘dolphin…
WW – One LARGE Ice Cream and a Small Fry, Please
I imagine he’s saying “You will be mine, Oh yes! You will be mine!!” Isn’t vacation fun? 😀
“I Left My Soul There, Down By The Sea…” *
A vacation to the ocean is my favorite. I just love it there. The waves, the sun, the sand. The complete VASTNESS of it all. Somehow, someway, it cleanses me from the inside and I’m reminded how very small we really are. In a good way. I see the power of the water and realize…
