Daily Photo Journal -- May 7

We went to my parents' house today. My mom, my sisters and I got to sort through a bunch of old family photos. It was a lot of fun seeing some photos I don't remember very well, and some old favorites. Here's a couple of samples:

I'm the little one front and center. 
Oh I was cute. 
(And, yes, I still fight that lovely cowlick.)

My box of photos.

My parents took us all out to eat tonight at a very nice restaurant. This was my yummy, yummy meal. (I ate every speck of it...)

Today's incredibly exciting Daily Photo Journal is all about signs.

While I was out and about today a couple of signs caught my eye. Before I show the first one, I want to define a word.

The word is:

Kinship: Connection by blood, marriage, or adoption; family relationship.

The Sign:

I totally should have gone in there so I could see who was selling their family members. :)


Later today my sweet hubby took me out for dinner and this sign was on the table:

(Sorry for the lousy phone photo...)

 Do you see at the top of the sign it says the Popover costs $1.99? Then at the bottom it says 99 cents? Puzzling....

I made dessert tonight! It's a big deal for me because for lots and lots of years I made dessert every week for our Small Group Bible Study. I have really missed doing that.

Tonight we had a lovely elderly couple over for dessert. He is the pastor (interim) of the church we have recently found to attend. I made a Berry Crisp:

And served it warm with a really good vanilla ice cream.

 Hubby and I finished it off after our company left. Yes, it was amazing. Hubby asked me why I never made it for our Small Group. I have no idea what I was thinking.

I bought these today to make the table look more cheery. I like them. I think they worked.

What we had for supper tonight. (Hubby's was minus the avocado and blue cheese.) 

(I never said I had an incredibly fascinating life.)

People I meet tell me I don't look like I'm 50. (What does 50 look like anyway??)

I have a confession to make. Here's the reason I don't:

 (Shocking, I know.) My hairdresser, Debbie, is amazing!

I know it's pushing two weeks since I wrote a blog post. Our vacation was just wonderful. When we got home we had company right away and then there was the whole laundry thing. And some other stuff, but I won't bore you with the details. You're welcome.

To jump start myself, I decided to take the month of May and post a picture everyday. Hopefully it will be relevant to something that happened that day. But if not much went on, be ready for pictures of the plants growing outside. Just trying to prepare my readers. :)

After living here for getting close to a year, I think we have finally found a church that we can feel a part of.  It's a little country church. I took a picture of it as we were leaving this morning.
