9 months of rain!


See my water rats?


When you live in rainy Oregon where you get nine months of rain...you just have to make do.
I remember my days as a puddle jumper.
Those were the best times to play.
Heck with those boring sunny days...

    What a sweet picture of your "water rats!" Oregon sounds like a wonderful place to live.

    Isn't nice to live in a place where you can drive an hour in any direction and find different conditions? If you don't like the rain, we've got some snow at the passes. Besides it's better to go to the coast when it's raining, it keeps the sand from flying in my face so much. Can you tell I'm planning an escape?

    Linda: for those that grew up here it is but it seems that some people have a hard time with allll of this rain! Me? I love it!

    Lillian: I have always said how lucky we are to have such a lush green place here that never is extreme with its climate and you are so right about different conditions. Oh and if you escape, take me with you...we can make daisy chains like we did in Ashland...remember?

...when did they grow so big?

As I did my nightly rounds----tucking everyone in, making sure everyone is warm, and outside doors are locked----I couldn't believe how big my children are now. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. How is that for making any sense? This is my baby---the little one. What happened??? She is already starting to lose the chubby-cheeked baby look And seriously...I gave birth to that? He is huge. I can't believe how quickly time can pass. Where have my babies gone? Don't misunderstand me...I am looking forward to every passing minute and getting to know the new stages, but I never saw too far past the diapers and (advance apologies to any guys that read this) breastfeeding. I am in unknown territory now. ...But I had absolutely nothing to do with this one.

eight years

Today is our eighth wedding anniversary. In honor of that, I would like to transcribe a card written by my husband that I received on our fifth anniversary. It is the collected and random thoughts of my husband written in every available space of the card. Amor: Today is a wonderful day. I have been counting the days, but without a doubt, it does not seem to be five years. Everything is as nice as before but with a lot more satisfaction and pride in our marriage. I am happy to have you by my side all the time. To know that you are a great mother keeps me calm and that every time I make a mistake, you talk to me and teach me something new. You are my angel (I love you). I don't know what it is, but to talk about our marriage is a great thing. It makes me feel a huge happiness (never ends). Anthony adds beauty to our relationship and it is because you are his mam รก. (side note: I was pregnant with Irene at this time) I love to come back (from work) and see you after fi...

In addition to keeping you highly entertained with my wit--and maybe a tiny smidgen of sarcasm--I also enjoy playing around with a little HTML, and other web design related stuff. I don't claim to be any great hand at it, or to have any non-pilfered technical knowledge---I pretty much just started experimenting with my blog template one day and when it was successful...I was hooked! If you have any questions or want me to create something, you just need to ask. I really love to do it and everything is a learning experience for me. sotsublehcar (at) gmail (dot) com And now on to the show and tell (what little there is so far). Not including the many incarnations of three day blog my first foray into designing aspects of someone else's site, was for Michelle over at brown eyed girl . I designed her header for her and had a lot of fun doing and since she also loves photography, I was able to use her own pictures for nearly the whole thing. I like the fact that it makes i...
