shhhh..i have not one..but TWO boyfriends...

Now that I've had my blog for sometime..Im ready to come clean and reveal a deep dark love affair that I've kept secret for a few months now.

Meet Harry & David.

I have fallen and fallen quite hard ..in fact, I'm ass over tiddlecart for these two! Just as you've read about my husbands 'other woman'... i too, have become quite smitten for H&D and all that they can pack in my box

;)

If you haven't yet tried the deliciousness that these two fine men have to offer...you MUST run out and experience mouthwatering goodness at its best...and then head to church on sunday to repent and say 12 hail mary's and ask for forgiveness in 'tho shall not covet thy neighbors goodies'..

(be prepared to do this on a regular basis and it helps to bring knee-pads for the confessional)

tired of Tippy shots yet???

ok...so I don't have any babies to take pictures of here.. so poor Tippy and Honey have to be my poor subjects and put up with the clicking of my camera..

gotta love Paws...'specially lil pink ones :)


Tip thinks this is a total waste of his time..and is so bored with me..

Honey could care-less...she was happily content just snoozin' away the afternoon.. when I had to interrupt her beauty sleep..

Tim calls her 'the Meatloaf"..

look at that belly!! lord!! she should be a pot-bellied pig!

"Oh we're so bored with you..'

"What the deuce, woman??" (i can just hear Tippy in his best 'Stewie" voice)

and yum..my fav.. grilled asparagus..

tim spoils me :)

...wandering around the back country..

ok..this first picture isn't from the 'backcountry' of southern cal.. but it is in my town..and yes.. Timmy just HAD to take me there to get one of these YUMMMMMY treats!! If you are obsessed with Thin Mints from the Girl Scouts cookie sales, then you will absolutley NEED to have a Thin Mint Blizzard from Dairy Queen!!! YUM -O!!
Actually this was our last stop of the day (DQ) after Tim and I packed up the jeep with a picnic basket and headed out saturday morning :)
We decided to wander about the 'back country' as we call it..lol..and drive thru the Bonsall , Fallbrook and Rainbow Canyon area of Southern Cal..
Its just so pretty..hilly.. and scenic..it feels as if you've escaped the city and have been plopped down right in the middle of God's country! I love traveling thru there..wishing we owned about 50 acres of hills and rocks!
This cattle farm was one of the stops..and they didn't really care for me being there taking their picture..(then tim reminded me i had a 'red dress' on..and maybe I was scaring them off!)
This creature.. not sure what to call them.. (I never did understand or learn proper cattle names.. )
but he was funny..as he stood directly over one of the sprinklers that were going ...keeping cool..or was he taking a shower??



We found a road..that wound and wrapped its way around some hill..and then narrowed and became a bit treacherous..and ended up at a locked gate :(


me.. in the mirror.. and yes..you would all freak if you could see that i am actually wearing a DRESS!!!!!!
i know..i know..
shocking!


My Timmy.. surrounded by cacti


oh ya..and have to throw in a Betsy-Boo pic for good measure..and because she loves me :)

oh ya..and a cactus farm we found along the way..
ouch


ok..get your minds out of the gutter and get over the fact they look so...


so..

phallic!!

a Fun Nite

Tim and I decided to 'escape' from our lil world and travel to Universal Studios for the nite last friday...

ahhhh...i love little surprise getaways that require you to hurry and pack..and hope ta-god you've remembered your toothbrush!

Even tho he had to work a wee little bit.. (does this look like 'work'??? pfftt.. i wish i had it so easy!)

We got to wander around Universal walk..and get caught up in all of the excitement and entertainment going on!

The first entertaining bit we caught..were these exceptionally TALL girls on stilts.. wearing just the neatest outfits!! (I love stripes..and think i need to make this my Halloween outfit for this year!)

ahhh to be tall and skinny...

another halloween costumer i MUST have.. my black matrix-cat outfit..

Then THIS guy.. reminds me of the Plague Doctor..

The view from our hotel room..looking down on Universal Studios..

waiting for tim to get off the phone..

more Stilt Girl shots:

Breakfast in Bed anyone??

some cute kids watching the entertainment..

man? or woman?

hmm...you decide

last but not least.. a big ol comfy bed filled with pillows and topped with a 'snack tray' consisting of a pear, apples, an orange, dried fruit, bananas, M&M's and Oreos!!! YUM!!

'wild life' in my own backyard

Capt. Tippy just loves his bestest friend, "Betsy-Boo"..they are so cute together...like an old married couple!

The past few nites, we've allowed Tippy outside without his harness or leash on..and he's really enjoying his new found 'freedom'...I really don't have to worry about him..because he is never more than 5 feet from Betsy-Boo's side!

Where she goes, he follows.



Their favorite pastime after dinner..is sitting out in the middle of the yard.. staring into the grass! lol.. With a very intense stare and a perked ear..they listen...and 'hunt'..for bugs or worms or flies..or whatever it is that is soooo intriguing!

When they are inside together..they'll sit in the window and watch the birds flit about the garden..while chattering away to each other..

Honey reminds me of the Sheep Dog on the Bug Bunny cartoon..that watches over the flock! She keeps eye on the two of them while they are outside..and keeps me abreast of wherever they wander off to! She's earned the "Nana" title!

Keeping watch..

"Please can I come out?"

nature's sweet song

just reworking some photos I took while I was in NY..
Although its been a couple of weeks since being there..these photos always seem to make me feel like Im still there.. wishing i was there.. craving the time when they can come visit me :)


the sea of hosta's that live along my in-laws front porch..
last year (or was it the year before that??) the deer really had a munch-fest on these poor guys.. but they bounced back and are just as thick and lush as ever!



a dew covered leaf..
just like the dew drops on this little leaf..it so relates to life. It's amazing that no matter how filled with tears we seem to occasionally get.. never let us forget that we have 'friends' and family 'supporting' us.. they always seem to 'catch' us when we fall..and help us thru ..



and love is always near.. in the tiniest of gestures..in a caring hand.. a shoulder to lean on.. or in a gentle touch..
