1957 Chevy Bel Air {Photography}
Yesterday, I got to spend some one~on~one time with the boy. It’s rare that he and I spend time hanging out with each other. I’m so not into video games and he could care less about crocheting. But one thing we do have in common is a love of old cars. Who knew? When we spotted this 1957 Chevy Bel Air in the parking lot, we just had to stop. We walked around the car, talked about how we’d fix it up. Where we’d like to take it on a drive. Just a bunch of random musings… I had no idea that the boy was that into cars. And I’m…

Sikeston Drag Strip {Getting to Know Missouri}
This weekend the hubs and I went to the Sikeston Drag Strip so that he could take his car for a spin. When we lived in Pennsylvania, he used to race every weekend {sometimes he’d take me on a ride along and OMG was it a blast}. I didn’t ride along with him this weekend, but I did have fun snapping some pictures… The hubs lining up to go down the strip. You can’t see it, but there’s a big ol’ cheese eating grin on his face. His car isn’t pimped for racing, he just wanted to see how fast it can go. He said for me to say “1/8…

Shoe Style Saturday
I didn’t really do much this week, between the chilly weather and being a bit lethargic, I just haven’t gotten out much. Last night, we went to church {the second night of our men’s conference} and I wore the shoes above. I’ve had them for at least 3 or 4 years, an impulse buy while visiting my sister in Tennessee. I think I’ve worn them 2 or 3 times. I’m never really sure what to wear them with, do you have any ideas? Where did your shoes take you this week? To participate in Shoe Style Saturday, all you have to do is take a picture of your shoes post…

Teach Your Kids to Control Their Anger {In the Family Room}
A few days ago, I read a story about a 6~year~old girl in Georgia who was handcuffed by a police officer because she was throwing a temper tantrum in the principal’s office. You can read the full story by going here. Apparently, her tantrum included screaming, pulling items off the wall and knocking over a shelf and injuring the principal. The article goes on to say attempts were made to calm the child before the police were called. Office personnel also tried to contact the girl’s parents, when those attempts failed, the police were called. The updated article also states that this child has run away from school several times…

He is Our Guide Until the End {Word Filled Wednesday}
Today my church family is celebrating the Home Going of our pastor’s father. While we’re sad to lose his presence, we rejoice in the knowledge that his sleep is but for a short while, because when the trumpet sounds, he will be joined with our Heavenly Father {1 Corinthians 15:52}.

Strawberry and Creme Pie {Photography}
Last week’s prompt for the 52 Week Project: 2012 Edition was “advertisement”. The idea was to take a picture that made viewers want to “get in line to get what you got”. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to capture until I happened to be at McDonald’s eating a Strawberry Cream Pie. As all of my family and friends know, I’m a big fan of the McDonald’s Peach Pie Seriously, have you ever had one before? It’s beyond delish but I’d never had the Strawberry and Cream pie before but one bite and I was like Oh, yeah, this is it! So I quickly bought another pie I truly suffer for…
