Utility Room

I finished painting the utility room.  I didn't do a perfect job but I'm pleased with it.  Phillip put up new shelves and I reorganized and decluttered.  It still looks pretty cluttered but it is a utility room, after all.

New Car

We down-sized from our mini-van to a 2011 Mercury Mariner. It runs when I turn the key. It goes forward in D and backwards in R.  It stops when I put on the brakes. It has a/c and a heater that work.  It tells the outside temperature.  It's automatic.  I think I can park it. It does lots of other things I don't understand and don't really care about.  Those are the things that are important to me. 

Awkward Family Photos

All six of our children were here for Hannah's graduation party so naturally, we wanted a picture of them together.  Everybody got all situated and I took the pictures.  It didn't occur to me that since in getting situated, several people were crouching and leaning and standing on tiptoe, they expected me not to take full length pictures.  I have never claimed to be a photographer.  Jennifer took the second, much better, picture.  Anyway, these are 6 of my favorite people.
