The Lonely MarigoldBorrowing Scott's camera, I stepped outside between rainfalls to snap a few pictures from the flowerbeds. About three weeks ago, we planted six Marigolds and only one has survived. There may be hope for the others, but they're not looking too good at this point. Too much rain maybe - although I was under the impression that Marigolds are one of the hardiest flowers to grow. The lone survivor certainly is pretty don't you think? I love that it has two different shades of orange. 5:30:42 PM comment []

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoonBecca let me borrow her Kelly Clarkson CD, and I'm groovin'. Favorite tracks so far - "Miss Independent", "The Trouble With Love Is" and "Just Missed The Train". Too bad Kimberley was voted off American Idol last week, but I have a feeling we'll be hearing more from her before too long. As far as the final two....I really could care less whether it's Clay or Rueben who wins. It's very clear the judges have campaigned diligently for Rueben, and this recent news article just reinforces my initial skepticism, although Simon did eventually take a leap and predict "Clay by a whisker." I'd also been wondering why they've forced such poor song choices on the contestants. Evidently it's because the song rights from the 70's and 80's are "cheaper and easier to obtain". Never made any sense to me why the music was so dated considering the large majority of people voting are teenagers. My kids had never even heard of Neil Sedaka or Bert Bacharach! Once this season's show is over, we'll be looking forward to the upcoming American Juniors. I just hope the younger generation won't be forced to sing Muskrat Love ;) 1:44:31 PM comment []

The GirlsSince I often talk about my two girls, I thought it was time to show them off. Don't know if you can handle this much beauty at once :) Carrie's the one getting married in August, and Chase is her fiance. Becca's picture was taken last year at her highschool graduation. Since she's been in beauty school for the past several months, her hair has changed colors a few times, but the last time I got a good look at her, she was back to blonde lol
