this life
my sisters pretending to be bathroom maids. they were running out of things to do around the house with so many snow days recently.
marley roasting marshmallows over a candle in the living room.
carson turned 8 today. she was filling out a new address book and asked me for joseph arthur's email and phone number. if anyone has his info, she'd really like to get in touch with him.
michelle and i were talking the other day about how the old rainbow vacuums look like r2d2. i can tolerate lugging ours around a little more with that thought in mind.
i'm holding saint piper here who we recently adopted from the animal shelter. this is the puppy i carry around in my painting apron.
the other day i was washing dishes and looking out the window when i sneezed 3 times. i didn't even look up at the sun to try and force a third sneeze. i think i'm superstitious.
my parents wanted me to take this picture to send to their friends...i doubt they want it posted here, but i think it captures their rural life beautifully.
that last picture of yourparents is hilarious. did you get my message? i made a birthday call, its on the machine. it was a funny message...well....atleast i thought so. i was thinkingit would be fun to have a blog of my own, except i wouldnt have a lot of cool stuff to put on it. but it would be an excuse to use my digital camera. so how do i go about getting a blog anyways? that puppy is too too too cute. i want a puppy. i really do. ive never had a puppy before.

God is so good...i'm glad i can't see too far. he always knows just how much to show me so i dont freak out. love you. eb
Posted by: erin b at February 7, 2005 12:14 AMhey kelly...i forgot to ask...if i want to buy one of your pieces how can i tell if it is already sold or not? and then how do i go about buying it? silly questions probably but i'm wondering. love, erin
Posted by: erin b at February 7, 2005 12:20 AMerin. i did, and it made me laugh, and i've meant to call you back all weekend but it's been busy with 3 birthdays. thank you, and expect to hear from me tomorrow. i think you should have a blog of your own...you might be surprised to find that you have lots to say and show. i'll tell you how to get one on the phone.
cheryl. thank you. i'm glad you smiled.
erin barley. i keep wondering about you. soooo good find a note from you. thanks. i'm going to email you, and i'll tell you about the painting. i don't have a great system as of now.
Posted by: kelly at February 7, 2005 12:40 AMGreat pictures. I had the urge to sing the "Green Acres" theme song when I saw the picture of your parents. I love it!!
