Pretty NY pics
Okay..so here are a few pics from um...well..two weeks ago when Princess and I flew up to Albany to celebrate my Grandmother's 80th Birthday. We had a nice time, even if we were out in the middle of nowhere. The running joke was that the closest store was the Wal-Marts which was 1.5 hours away.
Believe it or not..these were taken with my little ol' Nokia cell phone and have not been photoshopped..I don't own a decent camera, let alone photoshop software..LOL

catch-up
Okay..so it has been a few weeks since I posted..man life gets busy sometimes.
Went to NY for my Gramma’s 80th birthday. It was a huge surprise for her that everyone came..and an even bigger surprise was the party on Sunday. There were about 40 people who showed up. I saw cousins that I had not seen since I was in my early teens. It is so strange to see us all with families now. I know that Gramma enjoyed herself. She just kept saying “I can’t believe no one let it slip”. We kept saying.. “Well if you would get the hearing aid that you need, you would have heard all about it.” LOL. She is the epitome of a family matriarch. We love her so much and hope that the Alzheimer’s will hold off and she will remember us all.
School ended and we are on to a few summer day camp activities before Princess gets too big for them. I think this might be the last year for them..lord..what shall I do next year???? What do you do with kids when you are working during the summer? Maybe next year she will be ready for a week of sleep-away camp..here is hoping. I have great memories of going away to camp during the summer.
My dear hubby planted our garden and I am eagerly awaiting home grown tomatoes, cukes, peppers, and wonderful herbs. In the meantime, we will settle for our local farmer’s market. That brings me to my website of the week...which is http://www.localharvest.org/
You might need to double check the site, because I know some of the markets have moved. You can always Google farmers markets in your area or check your local paper..sometimes they have listings. I know where I live, many farmer’s markets start at the end of June and beginning of July.
Check it out and support your local farmers

A peek inside my life…
Setting: Dinner table. Princess dropped a piece of food on the floor.
Mom: You need to pick that up. The dog won’t eat that and it will just get stepped on.
Princess: Okay. (as she picks it up)..EWWWW nasty...it has hair on it.
Mom: Well we do have a dog and a cat that have hair and they do shed.
Princess: Don’t forget about the fish..we have him too.
Dad: Otto doesn’t have hair..besides…When did you ever know a fish to have hair?
Princess: Well….there is such a thing...What about? What about?..….a CAT FISH…so there!
Mom and Dad: Laughing until milk comes out their noses…

take time out
To smell the roses...
Princess got this rose the other night after her drama club performance. I am poor and don't have a good camera, so this was taken with my cell phone..not bad if I do say so myself.
