I think she wanted a sister

Breathing

No Peek Chicken and Steamed Asparagus


Is there something on my face?

They named a street after her

The wonderfully talented and witty Lotus at Sarcastic Mom is the founder of and inspiration for the Weekly Winners movement. I urge you to visit her and see her photographic brilliance, and the ‘nekkid’ butt kid.

I talked to my Dad a bit ago. My Dee is getting weaker. He’s having a harder time breathing and they’ve upped his morphine to help him. He is 93 years old and has lived an amazing life. Please join us in praying for a peaceful and easy passing, before he gets worse. Please send up prayers for a quick and painless passing as well as strength for the rest of the family.

  1. oh! I totally TOTALLY have that shot (with LB dressing up Baby O) this week, too! I might have to join weekly winners just to show you because I took that on Wednesday this week. We’re twinners! (And I couldn’t be happier to have one boy and one girl, I do NOT need two girls, oy)

  16. Thanks y’all.
    It is my dad’s dad.
    He’s 93 and has lived 92 wonderfully full and happy years.
    Tasina, click the name of the dish and it takes you to the recipe.
    The asparagus was in the steamer with salt, pepper and garlic salt and a smidge of olive oil for about 12 minutes.
