God sent me balloons

Today was the first time this year Howie and I had breakfast together on the patio. The morning was chilly enough in the shade I wore my sweatpants and donned a fleece jacket, but I soon changed into shorts and ditched the extra layer. There’s a strong breeze this morning and the beautiful windchime Rebecca [...]

Attack of the Zombie Chicken

It is high time for me to pass along the cackling horror honor bestowed upon me by Joanie many weeks ago. I thought I’d published this entry, but alas I did not! Today I am paying it forward, finally. Are you ready for the Zombie Chicken Award, people? The Zombie Chicken award’s rules are as [...]

They sometimes make creative use of props or costumes, sometimes incorporate odd poses…Just something to make the pictures stand out from the rest. This isn’t anything new, though. I have some vintage photos in my collection which feature two [...]
