October Sky

 

Today someone who knows me very very very well said

“I know today is the kind of sky you like to photograph”.

And she was so right.

No one knows me like my mom.

Photo clockwise: 1) Suburbia home touches the sky 2) A Yorba Linda Oil Rig- They are everywhere around here and I kinda love them. 3) The prerequisite MOMfia suburban SUV. 4) Construction continues under Orange County blue skies.

Have a sec? Go over to Sky Watch to see more great sky photos…

Mary’s Revenge

Technorati Tags: diner,menu,BLT,S.O.B.,revenge You have to love a menu that has “BLT (enough said)” AND something called an S.O.B. which as it turns out stands for chicken fried Steak served On a Bun. Whaa? I think when Herb asked Mary to write up the menu he had no idea she was going to get her [...]

Look at my bewbies!

Note: The original purpose of the We are THAT Family linky was to show the photos that never made it into scrapbooks, because they are a) too embarrassing b) shows how weird your family is or c) just bizarre. So today- instead of my usual humiliation by showing a photo of ME…I wanted to share [...]

Oh Clementine.

  I asked the boys to put the clementines (related to tangerines, although I don’t think they claim this side of the family) in the bowl on the coffee table for me. The boys added the seasonal decoration. Nice job boys. Aren’t they cute? I am tempted to the sharpie and draw little jack-o-lantern faces [...]

A brand new classic.

Boy. My face is red.

  In an attempt to take my head out of the sand, I decided to actually read a few news sites today to see what I had been missing while avoiding all things political. And of course, I come across this. Another ‘Uh, duh’ study from the halls of wisdom and science. According to this [...]

A Single Story

IMG_1734P

  I can’t believe there is still new home building going on in Orange County. Just seems surprising. Of course this guy wasn’t in any hurry to finish. He stayed in this little pose for 5 minutes. I guess he was just looking out over the sea of existing homes around him and counting all [...]

Cold. Hard. Steel.

Nothing says ’come on in and make your self comfortable’ like this steel cold office space brought to you by All-Steel. The name really says it all. I can practically feel the leg bruises Peggy the office gal gets every time she rushes around the jagged corners of her lovely desk. And if I am not mistaken- it [...]

Tagged. I’m it.

I was tagged by Diva Ma-Mommy Fabulous!….so here are 7 things about me. No theme. Just seven things. Enjoy. I painted the entire interior of my house. Every wall. Every room. And it looks darn good. I once had an interior design business called “Make Room for Me”. People paid me to critique their current decor [...]

Fiesta Day Parade

IMG_1790

  Every year, for as long as I can remember, my town Yorba Linda has a ‘Fiesta Day’ parade and fair. Our part of Orange County was founded by Spanish cowboy farmers, and is now one of the last cities in Orange County which is still zoned for horse ownership. Something we are all proud [...]
