Downton Abbey? – Hmmmmm…
Along with what seems like the rest of the country, I too have been watching Masterpiece Theater’s Downton Abbey. I really liked the first season and was anxious for the second season to begin. Strangely, I have found the second season to be weirdly melodramatic, sometimes very silly, absurdly repetitive and filled with overwrought acting. To me, Downton Abbey seems to be an American mini-series disguised as a British mini-series. There are moments, especially when Maggie Smith is delivering a [...]
My Parents Hosted a Wedding
A little over a year ago, my parents moved to be closer to their kids and grandkids. Before they moved, they sold almost all of their old furniture. Then they moved into a small rental house in their new city and began the process of looking for a house to buy. When they found that house, they spent about six months remodeling the kitchen and the bathrooms and the living spaces. Their new house turned out beautifully and now they [...]
Seventeen!!
My eldest is seventeen now. He’s really tall and has great cheek bones. I don’t know if you are supposed to note your son’s cheek bones, but I can’t help it. He’s taller than his dad… and of course his mom. But I still outweigh him! He’s a great kid. I’ve got him for another year and a half. And then he will fly. There are so many things he needs to know before he goes! I better start making [...]

Beautiful! I can just imagine what happens after this shot – You head into rapids & Jack bounced out of the raft. That almost happened to me once on the Rougue River in Oregon.
Umm…I mean the Rogue River…
Nice shot! Did you get to go through lots of white water? I bet the boys loved it.
Wonderful family picture! I make sure the smiley family pictures are out – then my kids talk about what a “great time that was!” They don’t remember the fuming, fusing or fighting moments as much. My daughter always mentions going back to the Smokey Mountains – how that was the BEST vacation – totally blocked out all of the WHY am I here with you people moments and terror she put us all through!
Nice picture Rechelle! What filter did you use in Photoshop for it? Or did you use an Action? I’m new to Photoshop, so I am only assuming you doctored this :)
Wat a great picture! You look like you’re all about to burst into song with a big vacation-themed production number.
You have a beautiful family, Rechelle. Was this like Disneyworld where you paid $8 gazillion dollars for that pic? And did you have strangers in the raft(?) boat(?) with you?
Rechelle…you look lean and fit. Been working out?
Great family photo!
Great photo- great smiles!
Great shot! Now, give us more rafting trip details! It doesn’t have to be funny or insightful — just tell us about it!
