Drying and Trying

Well, my absence is due to my parents visiting from Texas since last week.  Tomorrow is their last day/night and then they will head west again Thursday morning.  They came in town to surprise my oldest son who tested for his black belt in Tae Kwon Do on Saturday morning.  He passed and we are so very proud of his accomplishment.

I also have not been typing much lately, since I almost succeeded in chopping the tip of my finger off cutting carrots for my pot roast.  As I type right now, I am trying with one finger in the air on my left hand and my right hand is giving the backspace button quite a work out.

Today my youngest had beginner's day for kindergarten.  Knowing he's walking into school and out of my arms this fall had me pretty teary eyed...worse than when I hurt my finger!

My picture for mid week are the roses that have begun to dry up.  Thrown out on the back deck, headed for the trash, I somehow still found they had a pulse and found them to be beautiful even past their prime.


Hope you are having a great week!  If you are attending blogfest 2011, I know you are :)  XOXO

After all the running around I've done in the past couple of days, I'm feeling past my prime, too! Know the feeling about your youngest going off to school... I have a fifth grade moving up ceremony coming up and I won't be dry-eyed. Both kids in middle school - YIKES!
xxoo

What a lovely shot. Good to see they're still appreciated even though they're past their prime. Hope your week starts looking up!

Oh goodness.....a hurt finger and a bleeding heart. Tough week, my sweet.

You were missed this week. It was seriously your cup of tea. Kravet was so thrilled with the response that I think you can safely count on a blogfest 2012. Plan on it!!!

Enjoy your parents.
