H*ll on wheels.

I am positive that this has crossed your mind at least 46 times since Wednesday: "I wonder what that sweet little Suzanne is up to?"
And I really appreciate that you refer to me as sweet. And little. Cause I don't feel little...although I am as sweet as a king sized Reese's cup!
HA!
Really though, you guys should start paying attention to those who are residing with you instead of me. But then again, I am in dire need of attention and your people are fine.
Did I ever tell you that as a child I never got any attention? Ok, I got attention ONE time...climbing up on the roof top will do that. Of course, my Brother got in trouble for it...that's how it goes.


Why did I title this H*ll on Wheels?


I am writing this post as the Coach is driving us home from a weekend away. IF you've ever been in a car while he was driving you would understand. I pretty much just close my eyes and pray. I am praying that everyone gets out of our way. :) Of course, the Coach will tell you he has not had an accident in 25 years...and that is true. My theory is this: ALL the accidents happen behind US...you know after we have passed you and you and you and you and you.

We traveled over this bridge 3 times this weekend.

It is way taller than it looks in this photo. I don't like tall. I don't like doing TALL and fast at the same time!
I imagined we were flying off here....just like in a Mission Impossible scene. And I don't even like Mission Impossible.  {My mac is not waterproof}


While Lindsay was away for her band trip, {She had a great time in Nawlins!} We were empty nesters. So, what did we do with our empty nest time?

We loaded up the car and headed to watch Lo's softball team play! I know, so romantic!

Run Lolo Run.

For so many years, I watched Lo play ball...as well as watched Coach 'coach' from behind the fence. We are not separated by the fence any longer..the Coach is right beside me. And I like it.  Don't fence me in. Or out. 

Oversized Osprey lodge. The osprey was out getting some dinner. 

Of course, Lo, being the low man on the totem poll, she does not get much play time. She knew that coming in. In theory it sounds ok, but in reality, she has moments of total boredom. Life is a learning experience.

I love green parks!!!

 Recycling makes me giddy.

In High school she was the BIG fish in a little pond and now, she is the little minnow in a sea of big athletes. You've heard that comparison right?

Not my softball girl...but a cute softball girl just the same.

Well, she is hanging in there. Doing what she needs to do and trying to enjoy herself.

She makes me so proud...she really is a great young lady. And I use the term lady loosely...only because she IS my child! Of course, I could not be happier spending my time with her or her sister. I tend to enjoy the people that I make.
I do wish I had made more people, cause they are my favorites.
You can quote me on that one.

Don't let the sun go down on this game. Oh, actually, DO let the sun go down, it's melting my retinas!

I'm still getting used to my new 55mm lens....sometimes I love it, and sometimes I wonder what I was thinking.  {Thanks for making me wonder Mark!} I dropped it on Friday night... It bounced 2 times and I held my breath for 2 minutes. It survived. And then I wondered where the heck I left my brain.

DaNaNaNaNa......Bat girl. 

All in all...it was a great weekend for us all. Ok, perhaps Lo didn't have the best weekend...but she did get to spend some time with her life givers.
The Coach and I had fun....I enjoyed my time away from the house. (the washing machine did miss me!)

I slept in a bed that I did not make. I showered in a tub that I did not wash. I ate food that I did not cook.
Life is good.  Go me!

How was your weekend? Did you really think about me as much as I hoped you did?


C'mon. Sharing is caring!
