On Nora Ephron...

Nora Ephron was a woman I could have really liked.

Yup... I think we could have been friends.

Tuesday Morning Breakfast

This, is my breakfast today.

Not because I am trying to be all healthy and eat an enormously huge slice of watermelon.

Only because Blue Eyes ate the rest of the already cut up and in a container waiting for lazy me to eat it other half, last night.  (did I mention HE had cut it up. I couldn't be bothered)

I still can't be bothered to cut this side up into nice bite size pieces so I'll just dig right in!

(my sisters are so laughing at me right now.  Can you tell I'm the youngest.  So lazy!!!)

Our youngest, (17 going on 25), Kate, is going on her second week in Cali with her friends and "sister" Elizabeth, having the time of their lives.

That's her, on the way left... with Lauren, Sam, (her best friend), and Elizabeth.

With Katie gone, I haven't bothered to buy food for the house...

 And with one more week of her having Hot Fun In The Summertime...

Why would I?!!!

Blue Eyes and I are so enjoying this preview of   "empty nest" more then we thought.

We stayed in bed the other day until 11:15!!!

When we finally got up, and I looked at the alarm clock I thought we had lost power during the night.

That would be a negative.  We just slept in.  Way in for us.

Rush Home Road... Lori Lansens

This book is so good...

"Sharla Cody is only five, but has already lived a troubled life- only to find herself dumped on an elderly neighbor's doorstep when her mother takes off for the summer. Although Sharla is not the angelic child Addy Shadd had pictured when she agreed to look after her, the two soon forge a deep bond. To Addy's surprise, Sharla's presence brings back memories of her own childhood in Rusholme, a town settled by fugitive slaves in the mid-1800s. She reminisces about her family, her first love, and the painful experience that drove her away from home. Brilliantly structured-and achingly lyrical, this is a story about the redeeming power of love and memory, and about two unlikely people who transform each other's lives forever."

Hope you are enjoying your summer.

And For The Rodeo Girl In You...

My good friend is with her husband in New Mexico for the summer.

These are some of the amazing photos she shoots, while doing what they enjoy, attending local rodeos.

If these don't make your inner, YEEEEEHAAA! out, girlfriend, nothing will.  :)

These photos just make me want to get on some cowgirl boots and hat, eat a little dirt, and see a rodeo!


She says..." We went to the Taos rodeo last weekend. 
There were cowboys from NM, Arizona, Colorado, TX, and Oklahoma. 
These guys are for real!!!  


(me, being from Maine, she knew I'd be like, What?)


Can't wait to go to another on July 4th. 
It's the biggest one in the state, held at night, sure to be exciting!"
