I've been tagged....

I've been tagged by Kath to come up with six quirks about myself. So here goes....

1. I love shoes but can never find the right pair. Sometime when I buy a pair I love in the store, it goes with absolutely nothing when put with my clothing at home. Bummer.

2. Coffee is the best, but unless I actually pay for a cup, I very rarely drink a full cup. I pour half a one at breakfast and sip on it half the morning....and still end up with left overs.

3. Sometimes people think I am all 'sweet and innocent' ( you all know me better :), but I really flip my lid with poor/rude service in business.

4. I bought my first car (an awesome, but 'pre-owned' BMW) with money I made from making rag dolls as a kid.

5. I love outdoor gardening, but can barely keep and indoor plant alive.

6. I can be OC about cleaning things up. This has bugged my sister more than once when we would be working in the kitchen together.


Now this is meant to be sent on to six more people, but I am afraid most of you have already been picked!

Hmm...

Two guesses to who this handsome couple might be!

New Technology

Maybe it is just the Auntie in me, but I always felt that James and I have had a special bond. And I love it.

Most often when I am talking on the phone with Lanette, she will ask James if he would like to talk to Auntie Kryna. He would always get pretty excited, take the phone and start jabbering away. The only problem was when Net wanted the phone back.

Lately though when she asks if he wants to talk to me, he says no. Just a matter of fact no. But the times he does actually take the phone and speak with me, Net says he seems to think that I can see things through the phone. He will be showing the phone different things while he is talking to me.

He has also started asking for the family picture on the fridge. "Auntie Nina..." Net will give it to him and he will take it around the house and show 'me' his new toys.

I love that little boy!

He was painting Woodstock, the plaster piggy bank. Woodstock also has very colorfully insides.

He loves books. Pretty much any book. He doesn't even care what you are wearing when you read to him....obviously.

"Now Auntie 'Nina look like Uncle 'Boo' with the camera!"

We never said he was a daredevil.

Life or Something Like It

Not too much is happening around here. There are no photos of Bert, the Rev. On the other hand there is always evidence of Bert, the boy with the camera. Just a few from the last week.

Canadian Maple leaf...
