If a picture is worth a thousand words … there’s a lot of words in this post.

How many native men does it take to fix a battery? None, just one woman. The men are just spectators.

 

Took a ride up home again (I’ve been home more these past two years than in all of the previous 24 years combined). This time was for the pow-wow honoring our fallen soldier.

 

My front door got painted one of my favorite colors.

 
I scored an awesome deal on a chair for my computer desk at the downtown sidewalk sales. I’ve been looking around for a while for one like this. Retails for $140 online. The chair + the fabric to replace the vinyl for $10.50 … awesome score!

 

Got my haircut. I was going to go super short, but chickened out. This is about 2″ cut off. In real life it doesn’t look much shorter than before, but that’s because the long curly-q’s that grow by my neck are were all crazy tight & knotting.

 

One picture I wish I would have taken was of ECC#12. My truck spent more days in the shop this past month than not and the loaner car from Edwards Collision Center became my primary vehicle. Keep your fingers crossed for me that the problem is now solved. Never thought I’d have 4 new starters in a vehicle in just as many years (two of them heavy duty with lifetime warranties). But … I did learn how to bang on a starter with a hammer to make my truck start. A good skill to know.

 

 

As I’m sitting here grasping to figure out what my Sunday school speech based on “Family” is going to be on … these words from a blog buddy Liz inspired me:

Actually, I think what I love most is that Mom and Dad are just a few feet away. The older I get, the more I love going home. I never used to get homesick, but I do now. I think home is the one place you can get closest to childhood, a place where adult worries never plagued. I love my parents back porch. I loved my childhood. I love my parents.

My homesickness was when we haven’t all been together.

I love how often we’ve been able to be together lately. Even if it wasn’t at home, we’ve been together … and guess wha? … we don’t have many pictures! Camera freaks were too busy loving!
