I was a nestled in for a nice winters nap in the closet when out of nowhere this loud roaring headlight came at me! I managed to get by it and I dove under the bed, BUT IT FOLLOWED ME and yes this IS comfortable thankyouverymuch!

A New Religion?
I came across this at Books-A-Million as we were out and about last weekend.
Instead of Amen, worshipers say KECHOW!
Sunrise
To be fair, the shots were taken a few minutes apart, and the color scheme was changing rapidly. I also have NO clue what settings the DSLR was set to as it was 6:40am and I hadn’t had my tea yet. Still, amazingly beautiful.
Touch-a-Truck
The PTA sponsored a Touch-a-Truck event as a fundraiser last weekend. We took Mim and had a blast. Trucks are COOL!
The weather was perfect allbeit a little breezy. They had an awesome turn out and raised some money. There is talk of making it an annual event.
Double Take
I recently met my friend Melissa for dinner. We met at a mall restaurant more or less half way between us. After dinner, we shopped a little and scored some great bargins. I had a few extra stops and she had a paper due, so we parted ways. The mall in question is undergoing renovations so on the way out, it took a little hunting to locate the ladies room. I did eventually find one in the food court.
When I rounded the corner, I double checked the sign.
Yup, still wearing a skirt.
So, imagine my surprise as I rounded the next corner.
What the !@$%?????
Embarrassed, I scooted out of the bathroom and rechecked both signs. No, I was in the right place. Still there was no one else in the bathroom, so I looked around for the cameras. Finding no one was waiting in the shadows to punk me, I took care of business. As I was taking care of the paperwork, I heard a group of women come in and go through the same process I did.
Of course the one I really felt sorry for was the guy who rushed by me on the way out.
Dunbar Jewelers
I snapped this on our way back from the cruise. The store is in a shopping center in Vernon, Connecticut next to Reins Deli, one of my favorite restaurants. I know nothing about the company, but I love their sense of humor!
Restraint
My friend Jeanne and I went to the Outlets is Kittery, Maine last Saturday. There is a Le Creuset outlet in Kittery, Maine. These are pictures of all the beautiful deep purple cookware I did NOT buy. I did however score three red canisters for 25% off the outlet price, so I settled for a purple mug. I think I showed tremendous restraint.
Bermuda Briefly
A week ago at this time, I was in Bermuda. It was sunny and warm and on day three of a six day/five night cruise I had definitely found my happy place.
Like all good things the trip came to an end and we touched down into reality. We came back with a lot of great memories with old friends, some new friends, a bottle of rum (or 3) and a desire to make unplugged vacations a more regular occurrence in our lives going forward.
There is much to blog about but in the mean time, here are a few photos to tide you over.
Fun with Focus (or Glow Sticks the Morning After)
As I’m sure you can imagine, there were lots of dead soldiers after this, The kids made one long chain an strung them from the loft to the kitchen. I had fun with focus.
