Just another day in the life

June 30, 2008

Just another day in the life

Greetings Monday, and fellow earthlings.

All this working on stuff for my upcoming class has gotten me into ye olde scrapbooking mode. And I'm digging that. Totally.

I could ramble on and on about the following story, but what the hey, I talk too much as it is.

I will say this: you mostly can't make this stuff up.

    What a cool kid. I have 3 teenage boys–and one who will wear anything to fit the occasion OR be totally random..like wearing an adult Spiderman costume to school in April for no reason. Love it!!!

    This might be one of the greatest layouts I’ve ever seen. The fact that you took the picture, ran that action on it then gave it a title like a CD is nothing short of awesome. πŸ™‚

    I also have a son that dresses in theme for any occasion and it is one of the things I love most about him. The good news is, he is 12.5 and still doing it! He doesn’t care what anyone thinks! Gotta love that! Self-awareness and confidence at 12. Wish I’d had some!

    Hope you had a great Pride day! Biggest turn out in years in San Francisco. There was lots to celebrate this year! I’d have loved a GBLT sammy after seeing the dykes on bikes in bridal gowns! It would have made my day!

    How fun! I’ve got Stevie Ray cranked up right now! If he likes SRV, has he checked out Doyle Bramhall II? Doyle’s dad wrote several of Stevie’s biggest hits, and the two families are friends. Jellycream is my favorite album of his.

    Great layout Cathy, Cole was a mourners dream. He walked in and his handmade cell phone rang and he said “Please turn off all cell phones during the service.” He had with the (backgammen) briefcase and within was a pocket watch. How can a kids age 8 understand the sentimentality of the passing of time and life and death. Cole ran in the yard and asked where he was buried and Signe went over to the pet tree and pulled his little box out of the ground and as Drew was filming he’s if mumbling about grave robbers. It was a blessed day and we are thankful for our friends both dead and alive.

    Cole was a mourners dream. Great layout Cathy. Cole came in the house and immedeately his handmade cell phone rang and when he answered it he said “Please turn off your cell phones during the service.” He had his mini briefcase (backgammen game) and inside was a pocket watch. What kids understands at age 8 the poetic meaning of the passing of time and life and death? Cole ran out in the yard and asked where the Mr. T was buried and as Signe is pulling the box out of the ground nad opening it to show the turtle Drew is filming and mumbling about grave robbers. It was a blessed day and we are thankful for friends both dead and alive.

    Thoughts:
    1. He does look like a little Amish boy.
    2. My son is also wayyy into SRV. Love it.
    3. When we buried “Meghan, our Wayward Frog” a few years back, my then 4 and 6 yr. old kids wore their best underwear ensembles to the backyard funeral. As they bowed their heads for Dad’s sermon (think Steve Martin in “Cheaper by the Dozen”) I laughed so hard, I snorted. Loud.

    I’m not so good at funerals. =( Heh.Heh.

    Then I did a scrapbook layout of the services. Yeah!
