Some things are just not right...part deux!

Okay, I meant to include this pic in the original Target sack & election sticker post... But here it is, FINALLY.

WHAT??? Seriously? Really?

We don't even make our own American Flag pins?

Karen took me out for a birthday afternoon... we had a lot of fun shopping, eating, and talking. Thanks, Karen!

Balloons

Apparrently the view of the flatlands in central Indiana is beautiful from WAY up high. Recently, we've had balloons pass right over our house and land nearby. This fall, we've had as many as 15 in one week that I've noticed. We took these pics from our front yard and from the edge of our neighborhood. It looks like they landed in a recently-tilled cornfield! (Do we have cornfields in Indiana??)

Corn? Maybe it used to be soybeans. I can't remember.

On November 4th, I did my patriotic duty...I stood in a LONG line at 6:35 AM in the cold (at least it wasn't raining!) to get the chance to vote. I walked out excited that I was part of such an incredible election. Then, the election results came out and I realized...

I stood in line for

2 hours and 20 minutes

to vote for John McCain and

all I got was this sticker???

Then, I went to the grocery store. I got the week's groceries, and my kids saw the reusable bags. 99 cents! At their urging, I put 4 of the bags on the belt, and then starting sorting my coupons. Before I knew it, the clerk was done ringing me up, and I paid.

Loading the bags into the trunk of the car, I didn't notice anything. Carrying them into the house, it still didn't register. Then I looked at the pile of bags and saw...


What??? Why buy the reuseable bags and then send them home EMPTY in a PLASTIC bag???

Classic Beauty

I posted pics of Dad, now it's Mom's turn! In the first two pics, my Mom is the youngest. Isn't she a cutie?

Sadly, I need to scan more photos... Check back again soon!

Family pics

My parents gave me a box of pictures. Tons of family pictures - both sides of the family, from recent to years long past. Some of my favorite pictures from my Dad's side are here.

My dad is the sweet little boy in these pictures...

My dear "Bapa" (see earlier post) is pictured with him (above and right). The beauty and clarity of these black and white photos is remarkable. I love working with photos of this quality - and these subjects!

Doesn't my Dad look cool?

I wish I had a bike like that.

How about that hat?

My Dad is sporting the goggles.
