FIVE years ago

October 31, 2010

Five years ago today, McDaddy and I were a bit excited about a little something we had going on. We were about to become parents for the second (and final, as far as we know) time. I have always been the type that records everything. When I’m pregnant however, my OCD kicks into high higher [...]

A Man And His Hoe

October 28, 2010

McDaddy decided some time ago that we needed to do something about the parking situation at our house. We have a garage at the bottom of a sloped driveway, and a single parking place in front of our house beside the road. That means any time one of us happens to be going out, we might have to move vehicles [...]

I’ve had a number of you to ask about Thursday Thirteen. And by ‘a number’ of course I mean, three. I just so happened to shoot, edit and upload pictures for my You Capture post on Tuesday, instead of waiting till the last possible minute on Wednesday night like I sometimes do. That means that [...]

The Right Stuff

October 26, 2010

 Two weeks ago, our church purchased one hundred of these empty boxes for Samaritan’sPurse – Operation Christmas Child. After talking to the boys about the ministry, I asked them to decide if they wanted to shop for a boy or a girl. Not suprisingly, (and much to my dismay because geez, I love to shop for little [...]

What I Learned This Week

October 25, 2010

As is always the case here at From Inmates To Playdates, there is plenty to be shared about lessons I’ve learned this week. In fact, Tuesdays are one of my favoritest (is that a real word?) days around here because generally my WILTW posts write themselves. Quite possibly that’s because I’m a moron. Here’s what I learned [...]

He Says, She Says.

October 24, 2010

  He says, Chocolate chip cookies, please. She says, Chocolate cake with lots of icing, please. He says not very much at all. She says a lot more than she should most of the time. He says, keeping the front door open allows the heat out and the cold in (or the cold out and [...]

Bearing Scars

October 22, 2010

The scars are easily visible. They are dense and come in all sizes. The surface is permanently marred. It is forever changed. The scars remain regardless of the treatment or care given to them. The scars serve to remind me and I am glad they are there. It hasn’t always been that way mind you. When they were new [...]

Orange You Glad?

October 20, 2010

Orange is one of my favorite colors. It’s bright and bold and beautiful. I had fun capturing orange this week. Oh lets see, lots of orange and where should we start? These big, beautiful pumpkins was spotted at a roadside Amish mart. Rainbows like this one offer a beautiful orange shade. It just might be the [...]

Taco Soup

October 19, 2010

Recently, I received an invitation to a jewelry party. I read the invitation and then somehow it got deleted because that’s just the way things happen to me, so I couldn’t remember which kind of jewelry it was. Frankly, it didn’t really matter because I love jewelry and I can always find something I like [...]
