Now the music is _Niji_ by Arashi. Yes, it’s all in Japanese. _Angel_ assures me that Niji means ‘Rainbow’ and that the song is about a couple that is having trouble but is making it through because they love each other. Sweet. The song just changed to one called _Happiness,_ still by Arashi. At least…

Bacon, hash browns and pancakes
It’s what’s for brunch. I’m not cooking it, my wonderful daughters are while I prepare the next post. It’s almost done, and it’s a good one. We have music going now, along with the sounds of breakfast preparations, the lawnmower and children talking/playing. It’s an album by a band called Acceptance. I’ve heard her play…
My haircut
I just remembered how much I love taking photographs of just about anything – except for me. Here’s a not-so-hot shot of my haircut, sans styling, and still waiting for the highlights. Maybe I’ll do the highlights today during the blogathon, and I’ll let the biggest donor decide if I go sparse, heavy or chunky…
What is going on around here
Brunch is being cooked, games are being played, blogging is being done. What’s going on around you right now?
First goal reached for Blogathon 2009
Okay, the first goal is reached – we surpassed $40, reaching $50 in pledges – yay!! I’m off to run a brush and stuff through my hair to share a photo of my new haircut. Exciting stuff, I know. !http://starzabove.com/smilies/nut.gif! I’ll be right back.
Getting the sad news out of the way
Yesterday was a bit of a sad day around here. And I say get the sad news _’out of the way’_ simply because there are times to dwell on sadness and times to brush it aside to focus on the good things. Even out of death we can focus on good things – like memories,…
Cucumber Sandwiches, Great Friends and Rain
Yes, it’s raining AGAIN! But I’m okay, because my _Angel_ brought me a cucumber sandwich (fresh cucumbers from our garden), and I have great friends! I’m working on my first honoring post, complete with text and photos ( Thanks “Debbie!”:http://sternski.com/debbie ), meanwhile what is your favorite or most unusual kind of sandwich that you enjoy?
Some fellow blogathoners
Yeah, great new word – blogathoners. But I’m SURE that I’m not the first to use it – it may very well have been created in the wee hours towards the end of a prior Blogathon. I’d like to introduce a couple of fellow blogathoners. First is “Pamela”:http://pamelaperez.wordpress.com/ – she is also a fellow blogathoner-for-the-american-cancer-society.…
I have a new hair cut
Since I’m still not completely awake I’ll just settle for being random. I’ll post a photo of my new hair cut when my pledges reach $44. Why 44? Because I can’t remember how old my Grandpa Howard (my Dad’s dad) was when cancer took his life, because I was so little (4yo) but I know…
Not an ordinary Saturday
In planning my day today, this will not be an ordinary Saturday. For any newcomers here that don’t know, we are new homesteaders here. If you like to see photos of horses, sheep, ducks, etc. you can browse my archives. Late last fall we purchased acreage and were out here every weekend building the beginnings…
