Diamond Jubilee

 Yes, I am still a loyal Royal follower. Still smitten with Kate. I'll admit that I subscribe to a blog that updates everything Kate wears. Not that I care so much about fashion, I just like to look at Kate and her clothes. The Diamond Jubilee is being celebrated and this is what Kate wore to one of the celebrations. What impresses me about this dress(besides that it's pink and she looks "lovely") is that she has worn it before. It's nice to see that she wears clothes several times and doesn't give a rip. Really though, with as classy as she is, she could wear the same dress every day and get away with it.

A Neighborhood Addition

A little surprise came to our neighborhood last Thursday night, a sweet colt. Something about this little gift from God brings me joy when I see it everyday. I've experienced giving birth and watching a newborn grow, but I have never seen a colt. I am amazed that this new horse can stand up, run a little, and sleep on its side. I love watching the mother keep her eye on her new offspring. She stands there, quietly, and watches it for hours on end.
The twins have always loved the horses. They come in the Spring and leave in the Fall. This year I bought a big bag of carrots from Costco so we could get to know them better (I'm not even a horse fan). Unlike past summers, the girls haven't been afraid of them. My favorite picture is of Kate petting the new colt. How the mom didn't interfere, I'm not sure. What a fun experience for us.

Red Shoes

Can you tell I love these red shoes? I've had them for at least 8 years. I bought them online at the Eddie Bauer Outlet. Yes, that means they are long gone. I should really throw these shoes away but they are my favorite shoes. I saw online that I can mod podge duct tape to them. Maybe I can just put a slab of red duct tape to the hole and pretend they aren't so white trash anymore.
