Scavenger Hunt Sunday: July 17, 2011

Black and White

This is Sasha.  She lives with a family that I babysit for.  While I was watching the baby, Sasha came inside for a visit and to cool off from the unbearable heat.  (I wouldn't blame her.)

Reflection in Glass

Not wild about the car in the background, but I like the photo.  Plus I had fun wondering around downtown with a good friend.  We even met someone that owns a building and let us up on the roof for to take some photos.  Very cool experience.

Headlights

I forgot to take a photo of headlights so I had to run out real quick to get a photo.  Abby didn't mind the spontaneous car ride :)

12 of 12 July

01.  Morning kisses from Abby.  She likes my hot, stinky morning breath :)
02.  Spent the entire morning at the hospital...
03.  ...in this department.
04.  Plants that were potted in Aprils 12 of 12.
05.  Clouds.  Leaving the hospital.
06.  Getting the last bits of fabric for my quilt I started a 3 days ago.  I think the colors in this picture will be for my next one.
07.  Parents.  Dad was working on the hardest puzzle in his soduko book while mom supervised.
08.  The swallows that like to build nests on our front porch.  They had 2 babies this year.
09  Reading The Island by Elin Hilderbrand.  So good!
10.  Bed.  I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon.  Guess the hospital wore me out-I never take naps.
11.  Super hot today.  Feels like 106 degrees!
12.  Made sugar cookies for dad.  He loves trains and I found this awesome cookie cutter the day before.  (He loved it!)

BB/BS Dog Walk 2011

I've been meaning to post some pictures from the Big Brothers Big Sisters Dog Walk back in May, but never got around to it.  Oops!  

Overall the dog walk went really well.  It was suppose to rain, but thankfully the rain held off until later in the evening.  There was a decent turn out.  (I guess there were more people the year before.)  I had my own table where people could look at some of my photos and for a small donation they could have a picture taken with their pet (and e-mailed to them later).  All the proceeds went to Big Brothers Big Sisters.  

For the few hours I was there I took a little over 200 photos.  These ones are my all time favorite :)

Friday Five | July 9, 2011

1. We have been watching the Casey Anthony trial every day all day. It has become a part of our daily conversation. I don't want to go into many details but I will say that we are Shocked. Stunned. Amazed. Bewildered. at the outcome.

2. I got badly burned on the 4th of July and I'm starting to peel. Badly. I mean skin is just falling off. It is gross.

3. My creative side is starting to make it's appearance again. I made my own bulletin board. (I'll show you at a later time.) I've also been picking out material for a new quilt and I'm so excited about starting it. I'm ready to get started now--I just need to get all the material first.

4. I've been thinking of little day trips to take that are close to home. We have been needing to get out of house and have some new scenery. We went on our first one today to go to a farmers market in Wathena, Kansas and it turns out it was shut down. Major fail. But I think we will go to the one in our hometown. We are needing some watermelon and don't want to pay 5 bucks for an itty bitty baby one.

5. The flodding along the Missouri river is getting even worse. It is fascinating to go downtown and see roads closed off because the river is now going on roads (that are not right next to the river).

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you also have a great weekend!
