PINK or BLUE

I need some help. I had a little "Pink and Blue" contest going for Evan and Shanna. I sent them some items that were pink and blue in color and told them they each needed to create an ensemble. Then they should take a picture and send it to me so I could determine the winner of the contest - the word "prize" got them very interested in participating. The pictures were sent to me and I am having a hard time determining who the winner is. So if you would like to vote for your favorite - do it now. Just comment either PINK or BLUE. Thanks.

Sadie - For her eyes only

We are driving up north to see the kids. We are looking forward to getting out of town for a nice vacation. We'll see everyone but Isaac. We want Sadie to remember us when she sees us so we posted these videos for her eyes only.

Sour Taste in Our Mouths

I have a post. I almost posted it. But I was advised that perhaps it would be better not to post it. I have taken this advise and may share the story via email to selected individuals. Those I choose to share it with will receive an email with the same title as above.

Elder Selin - coming at you from Columbia, MD

Isaac sent a couple of pictures. So I am posting them here for all to enjoy.

Honey Do

Having moved into a new house has meant a lot of work and a long list of things that need to be done. We just keep plugging along. Yesterday Doug got to check another thing off his "honey do" list. Number 10 is now checked off and I am very happy. Doug designed, painted, assembled, and attached a broom holder to the wall in the laundry room. YES!! It is great! Thanks Doug! I won't even mention anything on the "honey do" list for a while. No, I'll give you a break. It may not be a very long break - but enjoy it while it lasts!

Defying Summer Heat

I hate to harp on the heat here in Phoenix - BUT IT IS HOT!!

But going out to the front and seeing our plants putting out pretty flowers every day makes it seem a little bit like spring. It is amazing that these hardy plants can produce beautiful flowers through nights that get no cooler than 90 and through the furnace-like days with the temps upwards of 114. I am thankful for our plants.
