Bunny Ears

Here’s a picture from last weekend’s dinner.  We couldn’t resist buying these adorable ears for the grandkid.  I guess I’ve turned into a typical grandma – showing pictures of my grandkids to anyone who will look.

 Ack.  I didn’t expect that at 47… but life is full of things I didn’t expect!

Some Vacation Photos

Here are some photos from our trip.   I spent most of the day sorting and organizing them.  And realizing that blurry blue underwater snapshots are probably not interesting to anyone but me.   So I will only inflict one of them on you.   This is a Smooth Trunkfish.  They are very cute,  and not afraid of divers -hence the not-quite-so-blurry pic.

  Yes, there is a fish in there.  Click the thumbnail if you really want to know. 

 This is the prototypical Caribbean beach scene.  I need to keep looking at these pics to remember that the trip really happened.  It really is that warm and sunny and blue.   We were talking today about the bathroom remodel and it suddenly struck me to use this picture as my color theme.  I have been wanting to use sky-blue mosaic tile somehow.  I think that the fixtures can be an almond color similar to the sand, and the cabinets can be a light warm wood of some sort, then I can go nuts with the tile.  

Ahem.  Back to the vacation.  That picture was taken at this wonderful bay that is huge, but only knee deep.  It is where everyone learns to windsurf.  The first day we were there, there was no wind.  Everyone said that is very very unusual.  But it was perfect for us to be able to snorkel.  The reef is way out at the far side of the bay, so we rented a little sit-on-top kayak and paddled out there.   We dumped the kayak on top of a little dock and explored the whole reef for an hour or so.  The quiet, protected, shallow bay is perfect for juvenile fishies to hang out and be safe, so we saw lots of them. 

 This one is from a spot in the resort.  They have a little spit of concrete the sticks out into the water and is filled with lounge chairs and sun umbrellas.  It’s a quick walk to the bar, so it was our favorite spot for happy hour.  Strangely, most people bailed out when sun-tanning time was over, so we often had the place to ourselves. 

Every sunset looks like this.  Really.

I guess that will give you the general idea. 

They will not let me out of here until I pee in a cup.  And of course even though I’ve had three bags of saline, and four papercups of water, I CAN’T.   Grr.  

Some Pictures

I thought I would upload a few pictures of my life,  just for fun.  For all my many readers to get a visual image of what I’m talking about.  That’s a big chunk of sarcasm, because I don’t have any readers, but then again there really isn’t anything much to read.    

Yet.  And then I’m going to disappear on vacation for 16 days (WAHOO) so it would be sort of a let-down to anyone who did actually start reading to have me disappear.   Bad for the ratings. 

I thought once I had established my ability to actually post on a consistent basis I would let people know I exist.  Maybe.   I’m still not sure if I’ll let real world people in or just the electronic friends, as my ex. used to call them.   

I have a small group of close friends that started out as electronic friends, but have turned into real people and real friends… so maybe I’ll clue them in.  Anyway here we go with the attempt to upload photos… crossing fingers and knocking on wood…

  This is SO’s granddaughter, my step-granddaughter, the day she was born, last summer. That’s his hand holding her.  It scares the crap out of me that we are old enough to have grandchildren.  I never had kids of my own, so this is as close as I will get to a kid or grandkid.

And this is the Big Dog frolicking in the waves on vacation last summer.

 I gues that will have to do for now, as it is time to go home and I am wiped out from this non-stop meeting day.     on meetings.
