Memorial-Marking One Year

The love that once was born can not die
For it has become part of us, of our life,
Woven into the very texture of our being.
Each of us would wish to leave some part of ourselves,
So here and now we bear witness to the one we knew in life,
Who now in death bequeaths a subtle part, precious and beloved,
Which will be with us in truth and beauty,
In dignity and courage and love
To the end of our days.

~Algernon Black

I miss you, Dad. Every single day.

Desperation

I told you when I saw the light yesterday that I was going to do something creepy… I think I might need to start a Creepy Self Portraits category. I don’t know I go creepy on some of them. I can NOT watch creepy movies or read scary books. I don’t try to understand myself. It would take too long to figure me out.

Self-Portrait Tuesday: I love my fan Edition

Note: Hi. I live in Arizona. It is summer. In Arizona. Summer. Actually, we are in the middle of a HEAT WAVE. As if it wasn’t hot enough here, right? And guess what happened yesterday? Well, Sunday night, really….

The air conditioner crapped out.

Note2: I love my fan. And how it blows my 154 degree hair.

Note3: Air conditioner is now running and blowing nice cool air. I love my home warranty. I also love that the ac decided to die BEFORE the warranty expired next month.

Self-Portrait Tuesday (on Thursday!): Defying Explanation

Note: I understand that MAYBE you would want me to tell you WHY. I DO understand that. But sometimes the WHY is just…..complicated. So I leave you instead to figure it out for yourself exactly what possessed me to place a cat on my head.

Note2: Some of you have expressed worry over the contest posted yesterday being a Last Hurrah before I shut down the blog. Nope. No worries.

Yeast Killer

Note: I know. This is creepy. LOL
Note2: But I didn’t wait for the warmed mixture to cool down enough before I added it to my yeast mixture and I fried the little boogers.

Note3: Whoops.
