Six candles

Wow, have my last few posts really been Photo Fridays and nothing else? And why am I just now noticing?

Anyway, I’m finally in the mood to share words and not just pictures since I’ve been fairly absent for a couple of weeks now. All in all, I can’t complain. Life is swell.

My son turned 6 years old on the 26th. We had a party and ice cream cake and plenty of good times with the family. I’m both sad AND thrilled that he’s 6 now, even though it seemed like yesterday he was toddling along behind me pointing at things in a demanding manner. But he’s a little fountain of knowledge now, and talking to him is finally interesting. Like he knows how to read and recites the pledge of allegiance AND can name all the planets in the solar system. He’s been telling me how excited he is about returning to school in August (1st grade, holy cow). I hope he keeps that enthusiasm for school, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I remember what it was like.

As some of you may have noticed, I’ve changed the looks of things around here once again. It’s taken me a few days to get things shuffled around and in order, but I think I’m finally happy with the way this theme turned out. Granted, I say this knowing that in a few weeks I’ll be bored of it and will have the urge to start all over again. But I plan on enjoying this little time of web zen while it lasts.

How has June treated you?

Please don’t

Please don't jump

A post card recently seen on PostSecret states: “I have lived in San Francisco since I was young. I am illegal. I am not wanted here. I don’t belong anywhere. This summer I plan to jump off the Golden Gate.”

I was inspired by the outpouring of love and support on this Facebook page for the author of this tragic post card, and I had to show my support as well.
