Boy

Oh, my boy. He's such a boy. He got some oversized chalk for his birthday, and we pulled it out this week. Now, if this was Olivia, she would have drawn all over the driveway - but my boy - he slams the chalks together until they break, and then wants to put them back together. So this is a tribute to my all-boy boy, who can be destructive in the best-boy way!

Book List

So if you've poked around my blog long enough and found my book lists (or if you know me well) then you've assessed that I love to read books. Tangie Baxter has made the most awesome collection, and of course I love it because it's all about libraries and books ~ and it's called Marian the Librarian. Funny, huh? Anyway, I've had a lifetime of loving books, and several layouts I need to make that honor that love, so I'm just really excited to see this collection hit the digi scene.

This particular page is about a book club I was involved in for a couple of years starting back in 1999. We read some really great novels, ate some tasty food, had some great conversation and debate about the novels themselves, and in the midst of it all, got to know each other and became better friends. I miss it. After making this layout and journaling about it, I decided I missed it so much that I contacted one of my friends and I'm waiting to get a call back to see if she wants to resurrect the club. **fingers crossed** So here's a layout showing a few book spines from the list of books that we read . . .

Perfect Pear

I'm really feeling sappy lately because my 15th wedding anniversary is swift approaching. And we're working on 20 years as a couple together. I really haven't been able to process it all that well. It's going to be one of those milestones that just comes and goes and leaves me stunned in its wake. Like first of all, how in the world am I old enough to have been married to someone for 15 years? ROFLOL! Yet here we are, together, for better or worse . . . the perfect pear ~ ahem! ~ pair.
