R is for…
Relief!
I failed in my attempt to photograph through the alphabet in one year.
Which qualifies it for the Year of Finished Projects, don’t you think?
Q is for
Quintessential Party Girl Hair
We opted for the fake hair, rather than torture us both with curling irons and setting sprays.
P is For
Porch!
When we did the deck last Spring, we also had the front porch done. I just forgot to mention it until now.  We had a faux stone treatment added and the old railing replaced with one that matches the deck railing.  Also extended the porch forward by about 2 feet, just enough to be able to use the porch without falling into the planter.  Speaking of which, someday will get that fixed, too.
N is for
Notebook
Oh, how I love my Circa Notebook! I use for everything – homeschool plans, to do lists, blog ideas, quotations I want to remember…
I love it so much, I blogged about it here: More About My Circa Notebook.
M is for
Montgolfier Balloon
W-a-y back sometime around 1995, Philip and I visited the Air and Space Museum in San Diego. While we were there we saw a model – lifesize, maybe – of the Montgolfier balloon.
“Oh cool,” I said. “I like it!”
“I’ll buy it for you,” said Philip.
Did I mention that we were young and silly?
And you know what…a few years later we found a Montgolfier balloon for sale. Of course, Philip bought it for me.
It’s tin and was once filled with candy. It holds a special place in my heart because once upon a time, Philip promised to buy me the Montgolfier balloon. And he did.
L is For…
Lovenote, on my bathroom mirror.
After a couple of nights with the Non-Sleeping Baby, Phil left me a little encouragement.
