Snapshots: Not Sick!

I have some photos!


Like this one on the way to last week's track meet.


And a very unflattering selfie at the track meet. It was sunny and windy, hence the dorky Mom hat.

We know a very well-read 17-year-old boy who said he hadn't read very much American fiction. Despite being American. Well! I have several American boys who are happy to recommend books to remedy that.


Here's what we gave him to start. (Desmond Bagley was actually British, but he did write excellent adventure stories.)

My family is here for Poppy's First Communion today. They're staying at a place in the village that has lovely New Mexican furnishings. Unfortunately, it also has things like this chair.


I am not a fan of Frida Kahlo, so this is really not to my taste.


Also some impressive orchids. (Apologies for the blurry picture.)

I was sitting outside with Poppy while she was playing, and I was amused when she started playing with good ole Dumpy.


We've had this little dump truck for fourteen years, unbelievably.

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
