Piggy Update and “Photo Shoot”
For those of you who are wondering about our little Guinea pigs, here is an update. Last time I wrote about the piggies Shelby was being treated for ringworm and an upper respiratory infection. It turned out Megan Johnson, Shelby’s new sister, also got the ring worm. PS, ringworm is not a worm that get’s…

M.Z., My Youngest Daughter
I have three daughters. Emma is my youngest, and she is the only one who still lives at home. When I had Emma I was 38 years old. I never once worried about my age until she was a baby when all of the sudden it hit me that I was old and she was…

The Fabulous Flubber!
It’s that time again! Time for yet ANOTHER science experiment. Emma is required to do science experiments along with a presentation board several times a year. We’ve done some fun ones, like blowing up soap in the microwave and staying up all night watching the Blood Moon. She usually chooses what she wants to do…

Meet the Pigs
After losing Tilly last weekend, Emma and I thought it would be good to go look at hamsters at the pet store. As soon as I saw the little black and white Syrian hamsters, I started to cry. There was no way I could get her a new hamster. It is just too soon for…

Missing: Best Friend
So this weekend, Emma went to bed on Sunday night and woke up to Tilly, her hamster, and best friend missing. It was as though someone came and plucked her out of her cage and left. The only disturbance was a fallen water bottle and a missing hamster. Tilly’s cage is one that has an…

Just For Fun.
Today I was looking through some of the blogs I follow. I was looking at a blogger’s beautiful Christmas decorations when I saw in the background there was a black and white graphic of Audrey Hepburn. I’ve seen it before but today it stood out because it gave me the idea of turning a couple…

Audrey at Halloween

“How to Tell When God is Working in Your Life”
Hi everybody! As you may know we were in escrow with a mini ranch up in Northern Navada. Long story short the sellers got another offer and we lost the ranch. A few days earlier I just started randomly sobbing at the thought that we would lose everything. I honestly got mad at God. Really,…

Heart Strings
Today is the first day of Emma’s violin lessons! Ever since she saw Lettice Rowbothham audition for Britain’s Got Talent, she’s been obsessed with learning how to play the violin. I think it’s amazing when an artist can cross a generational line and bring new interest to a musical instrument. Personally, I’m very thankful! I’m thrilled…

Tilly- Photo Shoot of a Hamster
I‘m sure you’ve noticed our hamster Tilly is kind of a big deal at our house. Emma waited about 7 years of her 10 for a pet. Now she has one, and everybody is going to know it. Emma has done so much research on hamsters she could write a book. She has, actually. Her…

Light Painting
Tonight we did a little light painting in the back yard! It’s been a long time since we just played around with the camera and light. Earlier this week I saw tiny mushrooms that were growing around the base of several trees in my neighborhood. They gave me the idea of a photo shoot I’ve been…
