Big Pink Book

I'm bidding on Ebay right now. It's for a children's book that was my favorite when I was a kid.

Being from a "traveling family", it seemed like every time we moved growing up, my mom would throw stuff away as she packed. I'm sure it makes sense to do that. But in the meantime, alot of the remnants of my youth disappeared. I do still have a few stuffed animals but that's about it.

Anyway, I had this alltime favorite little book when I was about 6 or 7 years old. It was called "The Big Tidy-Up". It was this really big pink book. I happened to locate a few on ebay but my gosh, they want like a couple hundred bucks. That's crazy. Some of them still have the $1 sticker still on the cover.

I'm holding steady on my bid of $40.
We'll see what happens.

Not Friday yet....

We went to a special mass at church last night. It was a memorial celebration for Pope John Paul II. Brandon was one of over thirty alter servers. They had the lights dimmed and lots of candles and flowers around a framed portrait. It was a very special tribute to a wonderful human being.

On a lighter note, I'm not getting any respect from my seventeen year old! man oh man, he's my first born and I must have done too much for him. He's helpless and unappreciative right now. OK, I'm thru venting....

Just one more day till the weekend...

not as pretty on the pic as in real life...sorry! 

texas bluebonnets 

Oh, the bluebonnets!

we went to brenham this weekend to a baseball tournament. if you've never been through the hills of brenham during april, you are really missing out! the bluebonnets and all the other wildflowers mixed in are just gorgeous!

there were many people stopped on the highway posing for pictures in the middle of the fields. so, of course, you know we had to do that too. although 5 fourteen year old boys, in uniform, don't get too excited about sitting amidst some flowers!

i pick up my pictures today, i hope at least one turns out ok! if so, i'll post it here!
