  • Metal mementos At dinner tonight, Sophie looked across at me and asked, "What are those in your ears?" "These are the chain earrings I bought at the ren faire," I answered, pushing back my hair so the others could see,…

  • Memorial Here is another frame: This is, of course, yet another picture from my husband's retirement ceremony last year. In it, a flag is being passed to my husband. If you have never seen the passing of the flag, …

  • More frames This first one is Gordon. He hates it, because "it makes him look like a giraffe". It's a weird treatment, I just wanted to play with the technique a bit. This one is a daughter of a friend of mine. Sh…

  • Trax When you ask your readers to submit pictures, sometimes you get them. I wonder if any of my Memphis friends remember this guy? He was the one who taught me how to label all the wires in the back of my computer …

  • Tofu revisited Last night I made tofu enchiladas. This is a big deal for me, as I don't cook with tofu. I eat it in restaurants or any other place that I might be served it, but I can't bear to cook it. It is just to…

  • Working on play I had heard a rumor around the neighborhood that they were going to tear down the old playground and build a new one, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I didn't see how such a thing could be …

  • One for the books It's hard to get Gordon to pose for a photo, especially when he's dressed nicely. You take what you can get. I thought that this was a lousy shot, but it looks nice in a frame. Gordon is the one in …

  • Revisionist history I just chaperoned a field trip to see a play at George Mason University, titled "The Great Railroad Race". As you can probably guess, it was about the building of the transcontinental railroad. How…

  • Eprop free zone I'm curious - does it bother you not being able to leave eprops? If you want to disable eprops on your own site, the code is here, xxreaderxx.

  • Hog-tied The disadvantage of being a full time mommy is that other people know it and abuse it. For example, this week I was tasked to assist with taking school pictures, chaperoning on a field trip, baking for two dif…

  • English weather We had more of what the diehard re-enactors call "English weather", which is to say that it was cold and rainy all weekend. I don't mind cold and rain as a whole, but when you are forced to be outdoors …
