You guys, I have a confession to make. I’m a little embarrassed about it, to tell the truth. I’m worried you won’t understand. Plus, I feel like I should be able to do it all myself. It’s my mid-western, self reliant, up bringing I suppose. But it’s time to come […]

PHFR – The missing updates
It’s been ages since I did a PFHR post, and I don’t know why because I’ve been taking a ton of pictures. So these pictures aren’t necessarily from this past week. I have a lot of archives to catch up on from the past few months. Pretty I’m so glad […]
Read MorePHFR – New Baby Edition
Thursdays come around and I think, “I don’t have any photos for PHFR.” Today I actually looked at the photos taken this week and it turns out I have plenty. PRETTY Flowers from a friend who dropped by to see us just after Dek was born. The Girl playing in […]

Pretty So Thailand is a pretty place. This is a national forest preserve, and a lovely place to swim. The street we live on right now. But way down at the end of it from here. Check out the trash cans made from recycled tires. Even the noodles from the […]

Read MoreOn having stuff
I was talking to a friend on Sunday about how tight our finances are. It’s at the point where I know exactly how many days grace period each company we get bills from allows before they charge a late fee, because there is nothing in reserve, and Aaron’s payment schedule […]

Our peach trees have that leaf curl disease that will eventually kill them if it goes untreated. We didn’t strip all the leaves last fall and spray it and it shows. Tons of little tiny peaches that drop before they are ripe and are rotten from the inside out. But […]
Read MorePHFR – July is almost over
I’m neck deep in event planning again. The Charis Comedy Night is this Saturday. If you are in San Diego come out for the show, and let me know you’re coming so I can be sure to say hi. I apparently have to talk and stuff, before the funny bits […]
Read MorePretty, Happy, Funny, Real – Independance and stuff
Usually for Independence Day we stay home, maybe BBQ, watch the fireworks from our front step, and stay away from the crowds and the drunk people. But this year my MIL, who has been spending almost every waking moment taking care of her aging parents, wanted to do something fun […]
