I had tweeted that a photo I submitted to a challenge was doing well.

This is it.
The theme of the challenge is filth.
This is what Michael’s socks looked like after playing whiffle ball for several hours, in his socks. I have no idea why he does this, takes off his shoes, but not his socks, to play in the yard, but he does, and this is what results, almost every time.

I know it’s not technically the best photo, but it’s realistic and representative of living with little boys.

Dandelion

Somehow this dandelion survived the mower, twice, this week. I got a new lens, in preparation for our vacation, so decided to test it out a bit.

I’ve finished school, and we’re now in the planning phase for the summer. We’ve got one big trip planned, and it should be a blast. We’re going to go back to Ludington State Park in Michigan. The boys loved it there, and it was probably the most memorable trip we’ve taken, while camping.

Lisey’s story

I’ve been trying to get through my book list, and this one has been on there for a few months.

Compared to Duma Key, this one was much more traditional Stephen King. It hooked me in, not from the first page, but from a chapter or two in, which is what I expect a Stephen King book to do. I couldn’t stop reading, I had to know what happened to Lisey, and how everything would end. It was a fairly quick read for me, and I really enjoyed it.

I have a few more books I would like to tackle before summer, but I doubt I will get to them before then. I happened to find Lisey’s Story at the library a week or two ago, and decided to give it a try. I’m really glad I did, as now I have read all of King’s books that are currently available.
