BIGGEST burger I've ever eaten!! The incomparable Bacon Green Chile Cheeseburger at Greasewood Flat in Scottsdale, AZ. Holy Burger, Batman!

Taking my first of many HUGE bites of flavor explosion goodness :-)

Hey! Who's that handsome cheeseburger model?

We were THERE!

This one's for you, Honeycombe...

"Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know."

"But I know one thing, that I love you"

"I love you. I love you. I love you"

miss: to notice the absence or loss of

When a reach finds emptiness,

and solace is found in death.

When a ghost-glimpse of a memory past,

and a re-creation is as close as you can get.

When an empty spot screams,

and empty shoes create a deafening silence.

When an oft occupied place earns the honor of an offering,

and a vacancy consumes an entire space...

Then the curtain of denial rips
and you feel it.
The Missing.

A vow to update

I just visited my blog for the first time in AGES. It is sorely lacking in updated posts...by over a year. I vow to update my blog soon. For now, I will at least change the background from Christmas to something more appropriate.

One down...many more to go!

Jocelyn lost her very first tooth today! She's had a wiggly, wobbly tooth for several weeks now. She finally decided she'd had enough and made up her mind that it would come out TODAY. She twisted it and tugged at it a little....all to no avail. She then enlisted the help of mom who ever-so-gently applied pressure in a downward direction and "POP!" --- it was out. She is gleeful now because she can eat her chicken nuggets and cinnamon toast without being bothered by that darn wiggly tooth. I guess the Wiscombe house will be getting a visit from the Tooth Fairy tonight :-)

Summer Break!

The 2008-2009 school year ended today...and SUMMER BREAK began! My kids participated in a yearly rite-of-passage --- bustin' out the Slip N Slide and going SLIDE-CRAZY!! I'm sure this is just the first of many, many water recreational activities we will have this summer. HOORAY FOR SUMMER!

Snowy Spring Break

Call me crazy, but I don't think this is what Spring Break is supposed to look like. Even the birds are confused. I just ended a stare contest with a big, fat robin who seemed perplexed by the blanket of April white. I was the first one to blink, but at least I'm inside my nice, warm house while Mr. Robin has to combat the elements. Luckily, there is no shortage of dead worms on our back porch for him to eat --- all left over from the HUGE rainstorm last night.
