Having fun with Photoshop actions.

Honduras, 2008

The pup gets locked up when we are gone for less than 4 hours. He’s not a fan of puppy jail.

Act One: Jail time begins against the wall.

Act Two: Jesse learns to move the cage across the room.

Act Three: Jesse learns to turn corners.

Act Four: Jesse pretends to be contrite.

[Ignore the mess. We haven't figured out what to do with the office yet.]

Date Night Dinner: Tuna (soaked in Wasabi Oil with a pepper crust), Steamed Asparagus, Crabcakes and a Mixed Greens and Goat Cheese Salad). Desert? Mexican Wedding Cookies. Yum.

They’re so good when they want a treat.

We finally bought a new camera this weekend. So expect regular posts of better quality pictures!

My father in law sent this and I thought I would pass a long….
Holy Father, in a world where so many are hungry,
You have given us food in abundance;

In a world where so many are hurting,
You offer to bind up our wounds;

In a world where so many are lonely,
You offer friendship to every heart;

In a world longing for peace,
You offer hope.

Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant.
Have mercy upon us, Lord.

Our nation is at a crossroads this year;
we look to you to be our strength and shield.

Please give us the guidance to elect one who will honor you
and to respond to the wisdom from above
so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured.

In God’s holy name. Amen.
Dr. Ravi Zacharias

Dear SUV Drivers,

If you complain one more time about the cost of gas I will punch a hole in your tank. You’re the reason we’re in this mess. You who drive an SUV because you need the room. Whatever. Moms with 2 children do not need Suburbans. If you feel like you do, learn to THROW STUFF AWAY!

Thanks,

Rebekah

We’ve had a pretty fabulous weekend so far.  It started with a great Friday night listening to music at Bottletree.  It was the 2nd Annual Raindrop Festival.  All in honor of Shane Hulsey, an amazing person who died while kayaking in Little River Canyon.  We spent the night making irreverent jokes and jamming out.  I’m sure he would have had fun.  He had an amazing wife and friends who honor his memory this way.

Inspired by African Kelli, I’m going through the “You Can Do It” process with her and a few other bloggers.

1. What have been the proudest moments in your life? Having my husband tell me I’m a good wife.

2. What would you do if you won the lottery and money were no object? I would travel half the year and the other half would be spent in this house (just add in a lot of Alabama woods around it).

3. What are the roads you didn’t take because at the time they seemed wrong to you, unfamiliar, too rocky, or just less traveled? Staying in Idaho.

4. What did you daydream about as a kid? Living a life filled with adventure.

5. What childhood pursuits or pastimes would you like to pick up again? Climbing trees with my brothers.

6. What makes you feel free, serene or full of nervous excitement? Free-having every bill paid on time, Serene-afternoon naps with my husband, Nervous Excitement-almost being debt free.

7. What would your perfect day contain? A long early morning walk with my husband and dogs, a mid-morning spent catching up on email and my Google Reader, an afternoon spend designing and creating custom stationery for EAD and a very lovely al fresco dinner with my husband and a few friends.

8. List the women you most admire. My grandmother. She’s pretty awesome. All of the women in my family. They each choose their own path.

9. Are there dreams you are a bit embarrassed to admit? I really want to own a Paper Source type of shop or studio. I want to give people space to create and learn. Wouldn’t it be lovely?
