Dear Earl, NO!!!

a bushel and a peck!

with the changing of seasons we are trying to get as many visits in to the westmoreland berry farm as possible.  today they were selling apples by the bushel and by the peck.  makes me think of the song my mom always sings to the kids, " i love you a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck..." i love it when she sings that song. 

notice in the pictures that lucy rarely looks straight at the camera despite all the bribery i can muster up.  she is SO silly. 

happy monday! ~s

The toilet is clogged and overflowing!

I have been sending out mass emails to friends and family for years now.  It has been an attempt to stay connected regardless of the many miles that separate us.  However, the more I write about my family the more I find I have lots to say.  So instead of clogging up everyone's email I have started this blog.  If you are new to the family, welcome!  I hope you are only offended every once in awhile and inspired often! 
Enjoy.

p.s. i typically do not capitalize.  and i often make spelling and grammatically errors..... GET OVER IT :)
