On my way to worship where the husband of my best friend--Heather--preaches, I passed over this river in Waco. It was 8:00 a.m. and the streets were empty, so I stopped to take this picture of the day's early sun. I took it through the car window, so it isn't the best quality ever, but I love the way it looks.

During Lillie's 2nd birthday party, Nat started playing and singing his guitar. Mostly, they were country songs. I can't remember the song Nat was singing when I took this photo, but I just thought it was so beautiful--the interaction between Father and Daughter.

My very yawn-y great-nephew, Ryan. He is adorable, yeah?

Hey, I finally learned how to do sepia! YAY!

Pop and I were taking a drive after our Thursday afternoon "dinner date" at DQ. We passed by this old building. I think it used to be a gas station, but I'm not sure since I've only lived here for 5 1/2 months.
Though you can't see them, there are two other yellow bulldozers parked in the parking lot. It is clear that very soon that old building will be razed and--perhaps--another building raised in its place. I wonder what it will be?

YAY! Something is growing! It is teeny-tiny, as you can tell since you can see my hand for comparison. The pepper is no bigger than one of the phalanges on my hand. Hopefully--soon--it'll get bigger and capable of being eaten. I'll have to figure out some great recipe that involves peppers so I can write about that recipe AND my first edible green (or whatever color it is supposed to end up being) pepper!

I'm so excited! However, I'm not excited about the black growth at the stems. I haven't gotten a response from that post. Does NO ONE know what that stuff is?

Nonetheless, I'm still excited because I have proof that it is possible I can grow things which are edible! YAY! And if you have any green pepper recipes, be sure to send 'em my way!

love y'all,

Loralee :)

A family-owned nursery in Lumberton. Even in late October, the flowers are just so beautiful!
