oops, I did it again......

Hello every one, this is The Cabela's Meat Slicer..... I was cleaning this awesome piece of machinery, and I might add...talking to my little sister... I  am not good at talking and doing anything else at the same time. Well, I wasn't paying attention....who me? And well, I got too close to the VERY sharp blade...which I later found out from my husband is supposed to be removed when cleaning.... and.....yikes! Sliced my finger!

I immediately knew it was bad... I felt the sharp blade slice through my nail and into my finger in a split second, like a hot knife through butter... I grabbed my finger, and applied pressure. Thanks to my awesome sister, I didn't go into shock, though I was shaking and crying...mostly because of how dumb I felt!!!!

Lindsay laid me down, elevated my feet, gave me a blanky, and put ice on my wrapped wound! After I unwrapped my wound that night to evaluate the injury, I was surprised to see it had already re-sealed itself... the main injury was the fingernail, to which Dr.s would be able to do nothing but remove...

so, here is my ouchy... two days after impact, fingernail turning black, probably going to fall off, and, me....happy as a clam that I didn't have to go get stitches! When am I ever going to learn....sharp objects and my hands do not go together....there should be an alarm that goes off whenever I get near one! Some one should invent that!

I know, I know....

I guess I have a hard time keeping to my goals, this posting a picture a day thing gets old after a while. But, here is great shot of Katie that I thought you might enjoy!


She acts like her momma, more often then not....
Don't you just LOVE the orange tongue....from her favorite dink....Tang!

Not a Picture- A Poem

Prepare Me

The time is getting closer.
The Lord is preparing me...
For something big, just out of my sight.
So I'll have to wait and see.
My heart is lost in this battle from within.
I don't know which way to turn.
Why must I feel so passive and tame?
What is the lesson to learn?
Am I being prepared to handle a loss?
Is the load going to be heavy to bare?
Is acceptance going to be hard to let in?
If so Lord...then help me prepare!
Prepare me with strength and courage as well.
Help me understand your ways.
Prepare me with faith and trust in Your love.
And guide me through all of my days.
Prepare me, oh Lord, so in turn I can help
Others accept and feel love.
And bless me with patience as I journey through life...
Till we all meet again up above.

Tribute to Joe



I love that Joe is sooooo awesome!
He can find beauty anywhere!
I mean, our boring house at sunset....with Christmas lights on still?!
But sure enough....BEAUTY!

I took them down today, by the way...
so no one can make fun of me having my light up still....GOT IT!

not counting the pictures anymore


It's been 2 days since I have taken a picture...there has been nothing inspiring.
But today...I had Emily.
She pulled her own tooth out (it was way ready) at 1:30...happy as a clam!
3:00...she had a raging fever...not so happy.
But, she's be happy again when she sees her $$$ from the tooth fairy in the morning!

#22 - I dunno what to post


This image is not "technically" mine.
Joe shot it, I edited. We make a great team, don't we?
I fell in love with this shot this Sept....
He has a great eye for the abstract!

#21 - Basketball


I love the way this shot moves... it sweeps up, like we are all there helping the ball go in!
My kid is in the middle somewhere, you can't see her. Still, the shot is fun!
