This may look familiar.
I adore this picture from last year, Chappy bounding through the grass, chasing a toy. It never fails to make me smile.
Well, now I’ve turned it into a cross-stitch chart. Just because it’s fun. Even though I pretty much never do counted cross-stitch any more. But … like I said, it makes me smile! Maybe it’s worth pulling out some embroidery supplies … stitched onto a green fabric … how long could it take?
Or maybe a white background?
Either way, it makes me smile.
(Oh, and happy anniversary, Patty and Mike!)

Well, tomorrow’s my birthday, so I thought this was a good time to share this with you … I’ve got the TV Guide from the week I was born. Mom saved it lo, these many years ago. I was born at 10:08 PM, so … who’s up for some Candid Camera? Maybe some Andy Williams? Or there’s always Rawhide…

Happy 27th birthday, Jilly.
(One of my all-time favorite pictures of her, all dressed for my sister’s wedding. She didn’t get to GO, mind you, but she wanted to celebrate just the same, and sat in her favorite, most-photogenic spot for the photo. That orange chair was SO perfect for her coloring.)
I still can’t believe she’s been gone for 12 and a half years.

This was my doll Annette. (Actually, both dolls were Annettes–they came with the name, but one was my sister’s, one was mine.) We both adored them when we were little because they were the perfect “little girl” size when they stood next to us, so we could do fun stuff with them, like pretend to take them shopping or send them to school, or anything that our Mom did with us.
Neither doll came with us when we moved, though. I guess they decided that, being in their late-30s, it was time to move on. Still, there are lots of good memories.
