Tuesday's Bloom


The 2010 volleyball teams, before the spandex shorts are applied.....VolleyGirl, in the cream dress and long mane is in the middle, just right of center.
Yes, another busy summer, filled with a few tasks, performed for the last time: volleyball photos, senior pictures, still learning to drive.....Pictured above are the seniors on this year's varsity volleyball team. These girls have been friends since first grade, they get along so well. I had a good time helping pose all the girls for photos and giving efforts towards making them smile! They are used to my goofiness.
It was sooooooo hot out there that day, we were in the Botanical Gardens. Yep, she's number 10. I told her she looked like a "Breck Girl", but she didn't get it, thoses commercial were before her timeMy BigBoy did the artwork for the front cover of the team's program, the seniors had some action shots taken at the gym. This is one of my favorites.
Last but certainly, not the least, the Senior portrait. Thank goodness there was one she liked! All these photos and not one did she have her hair in natural curls. Having casual ones made in October by a friend cause she wanted to wear more wintry clothing. She is finally driving to school this year, so this makes the first year in sixteen years that I haven't been dropping a kid off at school....I won't lie.....feels pretty good.....well, after I receive her text announcing she has arrived safely! The bloom on Tuesday? It's Rose, VG's middle name, just as mine, after my mother. It's our favorite flower.

Dogs On Thursday: Patience Is A Virtue

Dad and BigBoy left me.......but I just KNOW they are about to come in that door any moment!
O.K., but now....I bet they are REALLY about to come through the door....waiting.....waiting.
I will try sitting here- real still and stare- really hard......then poof! -they will walk through that door! I said POOF!

C'mon guys, I can only sit still and stare just so long......please, walk through that door....or I may actually have to lay down!

I agree with Snuffles.....you've just got to stop and smell the roses, daffodils or just whatever odor happens to be handy for the sniffing.
(Editors Note: Apollo DID survive the evening minus his buds with little incident. His mom faithfully watched him in the den as VolleyGirl very loudly entertained three friends upstairs. Today he will begin his watch again, awaiting their arrival.........as soon as he wakes up.)
Later Mom has to post the award she received days ago........
