Daily Dose 10-24-10

Yesterday: Unseasonably warm, overcast, and threatening rain. Spent the day cleaning, and readying for the upcoming Thanksgiving preparations. Small dinner party at our home: Spaghetti, Bruchetta, and Boggle ensued. A few more holiday preparations. Midnight run around the neighborhood...the weather was perfect. Fell asleep with my boys on the couch.

Daily Dose 10-15-10

Quiet day. Spent most of the morning editing pictures for a recent family session. Loved the earthy feel, and outdoor setting. Finished the session in record time. Egg Nog for breakfast. Walked 6 miles for exercise. Tortellini for dinner. Ice Cream sundaes for dessert. We settled down for a movie: 84 Charring Cross Road. Now, I must visit England. Letters should be reunited with my mailbox as well...

26 before 26

My dining table is currently littered with handfuls of books. Some children literature, some fiction, and old hardback stories that so few people care about. With my goals of reading, I am naturaly inclined to think of other areas of my life that I wish to expound upon. Thus, the list of 26 things before 26 was born.
