THIS is not good:
Gazebo damage
In fact, it’s quite sad…
Poor Gazebo!
Added insult to injury:
What is this??
Yeah, so that was quite a storm we had last night. Fortunately we had already decided this was the last year we’d be using this gazebo as it was getting worn out. Between the damage from another big storm and this new stuff from last night, the thing is pretty much pathetic. Now I have to hold out for the new deck and hopefully some kind of shade-giving roof being built next summer.
Hopefully THIS will be good:
Raspberry Buckle just put in the oven
My first attempt at using some of the raspberries I picked from our yard. It smells awesome. If it tastes good, I’ll post the recipe. :-)
THIS child is growing up way too fast:
My baby!!!
If that cake looks a little…flat…it is. B doesn’t like cake, so he got birthday brownies instead. He also insisted on decorating it himself because, “Explaining how I want it will be too hard, it’ll be easier if I just do it myself.” Talk about having your own words thrown back at you! A little control freak in training. Here is his creation, which he said was not really how he pictured it in his head but is good enough (whew, not as much of a perfectionist as mom…yet!):
Birthday Brownies
Notice the “10″ in candles. TEN! This was a traumatic birthday for Mom here. 9…ok, halfway to 18 but barely an adult. But TEN. That’s halfway to the age I was when I got married. I’m not halfway done with him yet! Somebody slow this life stuff down a little, would ya? It’s all going way too fast for me.
By the way, if anybody wants to wish B a happy birthday, please visit his blog and leave him a comment. He loves comments!
THIS animal is way too fat!!
No, my head isn’t tiny - the rest of me is just huge!
That’s it for this week’s photo gallery. I’m still nursing my pinched nerve so typing a lot is not fun. I’m glad I had some pics to share instead!
