6:30pm. Here's the stash. Larry wouldn't let me put the Junior Mints in the bowl until the other stuff was gone. The caramels are set aside for my mother-in-law.

Today I went for my pre-op testing. Why does everybody look so happy in this booklet about hospitals??

Here it is, the first snow of the season. It's really called "gropple" (pronounced grahpul) which is snow pellets.

My grandma bought me this cool pumpkin many years ago. It plugs in and lights up with that fiber optic stuff. Larry is about ready to throw it out the window because it makes this weird squeaky singing noise. I think it's the mechanism that makes the lights change color. But I LOVE it!

Will you please look at how cute our cat is? She's 15 years old and is just as lovable as ever. She lets us pick her up and cuddle her for a while and then finally gets disgusted with the whole thing and says,"that's enough, thank you." She needs to get her dignity back somehow.

A heavy frost after a crystal clear night and a cold, sunny dawn. There are two more pictures on the other blog.

There was a huge apartment complex fire today. This is what happened to my boss at the end of a day like today. Notice her right hand. And she's not sleeping. She's on the phone!

This is my little boyfriend Robbie. I was his mom's doula and now he is 2 years old. We were at their home last night for a lovely dinner of, (can you guess?) spaghetti! Here he is, just sucking that pasta right in. Unfortunately, it's a cell phone photo because I forgot my camera.

That's the back of my iTouch in it's pretty pink case. I love this thing. In the morning when I am still lying in bed all bleary eyed, I can listen to the scriptures. It is very wonderful. Then maybe I'll listen to music. Then as everyone must, I get up.

At our doula meeting, we learned how to restore a woman's confidence in her ability to give birth, after she's been scared out of her wits.

A great woman at work makes these darling diaper cakes! They are adorned with all sorts of cute things, like bibs, socks and rattles.

Larry is getting very tired of me taking his picture but some days it's REALLY hard to come up with a good idea for a shot. He's making pudding here in our still very clean kitchen. See the towel over the oven door? I bought that in Italy!

Larry and Maya, our young friend from church. I just love this picture. He's like Grandpa Locke.

October 11, 2008

I came home from teaching an all day class and walked in to see the kitchen absolutely spotless! Larry had cleaned it to look sparkling and had even vacuumed. He should teach husband classes.

October 10, 2008

Larry had just mowed the lawn and this little leaf was laying on the sidewalk. I thought it looked pretty.

 Larry didn't get the chance to propose to me because I was all trying to rush things and kind of proposed to him. So I was crying and carrying on one day about how he never had the chance to "pop the question." So he bought me this. I cried all over again!

A very old poster in our emergency office. I think it's pretty.

My best and eternal friend in all the world, you guessed it - Pam, of the butterfly fame a few  weeks back. We are picking out fleece for her daughter's Girl Scout troop to make blankets for the military overseas.

I came home in a very bad mood, so Larry made me COOKED chocolate pudding. It was so yummy and he is such a good guy.

Harley was out back with his sister when he dashed up our back stairs looking for Larry. Apparently he was at our back door waiting for Larry to come out. So Larry went out to give Harley a rubdown. How cute is that? I really love this picture.

Doesn't this make you feel all so cozy? I love a chilly autumn evening with a lovely candle burning

October 2, 2008

You'd think it was Halloween already. I took this at the Port of Rochester. The Red Cross hosted a Volunteer Recognition Event and we saw this "Cheshire Cat" moon smiling on us as we left. I always like the sliver moon because it does look like the sky is smiling!
