Smiling Eyes

Now that Sam isn’t just ‘BIG hair‘ with legs, I am enjoying seeing just his face again. I love his smile! When he smiles his whole face smiles, and especially his eyes. SEE! Mr. MK’s getting sick of me saying, “just look at that cute face, I forgot about that Read more…

Tired, Sore …

Tired, sore, wind and sun burnt. That’s just the tip of the ice berg (pun intended). I am shuffling around barely able to walk! I bought new boots this a.m., they are making me use muscles I didn’t know I had. I am starting to seize up — REALLY! I Read more…

If you rinse your dirty brush in my clean water, then I’ll beat you with the BIG stick again. Keep your brush on your own paper. No arguing. No yelling. No whining (SAM). It sounds like a barrel of laughs, eh?
