Mom and Dad

I wanted to post the most recent picture of Mom and Dad. This was taken June 18, 2007. They are both 81.

He's legal now.

Happy Birthday to Malcolm. 21 years old on June 20! Yes, I know. I'm way too young to have a son this old. Mike had a gig at Cat's Cradle that night, so we combined the celebrations... birthday dinner at the Vietnamese place + big rock show. A fun time was had by all.

Pittsboro Relay for Life

I wanted to post this picture for historical purposes. After all, what's more important than every mundane detail of MY life. Back in May, I was on the Evergreen Church Relay for Life team. We set up camp on the track at Northwood High School in Pittsboro and raised money for the American Cancer Society. Last year I stayed up all night, but this year I wimped out and left about 2am. I walked about 5 miles. My walk was dedicated to Dad, Britts, Pat L, Denise E and Patsy Fannin.

Karl

Malcolm named him Karl Marx, but his new nickname is "killer." He's been bringing in squirrels lately, and not those tiny baby ones either. We adopted Karl when his mama, Higgid, showed up on the doorstep with 4 kittens in tow. We kept Karl and found homes for the rest of them. Karl is such an affectionate cat. He loves me. How do I know...because he brings me freshly killed squirrels. That is the sign of true affection.

Kitty Boy Jones

or as he's known to his friends, Mr. Jones. He is definitely the boss guy around here. It's nice that he lets us live here in his house though. He is not crazy about the other cats, but he seems to tolerate them, as long as they remember who's in charge.

From the happy hooker

Vicky, this is for you. I promised to get a picture of one of my crochet projects. These little dolls are called Amigarumi. It's a Japanese crochet that is done in spirals. I've also done other small projects, like purses, bags and scarves. I'm too lazy to do anything much larger. For you knitters out there, Vicky has pictures of her projects on her blog. She does incredibly intricate work AND she spins her own yarn.

The Kids

I'm not thrilled about this program. I can only get one picture up per post. Anyway, here's a fairly recent photo of All My Children. Jon, Malcolm and Hannah. Adorable? Yes. Annoying? Sometimes. Do I love them? Of course, more than anyone could ever know.
