~BLOGGING SINS AND LOOSE ENDS~

My gosh, but it's nice when someone takes your side.  Every one of you are just so nice and so open!
Part of my dilemma is my own fault for raving on about how wonderful you all are!  I talk about your cooking, your decorating, your wonderful families, how much you all share..how clever and funny you all are..it never occurred to me that blogging would ever cause a problem...

Whatever the case..I waffle back and forth on how I feel.  Today, why...yes.  I will not post any photo's  of the food they cook at our family parties, or the adorable homes they have, etc. etc. but then the following day I get my back up and decide to post any darned thing I want...when I want.

I do understand them not wanting their photo's posted.  Some that have been posted on facebook of me by family are nothing short of terrible, but that's how I see them.  They don't.  ...but...if I didn't check on facebook I would not see all the photo's and know very little of what is going on.  Which might not be a bad thing.  It's just that I am so nosy where my kids are concerned.

So..I will just be very careful and continue using code names (when I remember to do so!)  I usually do.

My big yellow frog makes such a great book prop when I read at the table. 

Here's the thing.  My kids worry.  I don't think they are absolutely sure I know the right thing to do..Not sure when I lost my ability to make wise decisions..but somewhere along the way it happened.  Their view of me changed.  When did they stop thinking I could fix everything and that I was wonderful??? 

In my chippy little wheelbarrow where my Fairy Garden lies, I found a stone that shows the name.

The arbor and miniture climbing fig arrived.  No tiny curled up kitty for the flower pot yet. 

The Fairies aren't afraid of this little kitty because it belongs to them you see. 

 So..tomorrow the climbing fig vine gets planted beside the tiny arbor.  A bit of baby tears needs to be added in front of the stone sign.  Something to soften the edge.  Don't you think?

The little garden was a hit with my family.  It's a work in progress..every day snipping dead blooms off it...straightening this here, tucking that there... :)

 I get frowned at when I take photo's even of food.  And...I've even been strongly confronted about it...but...as you can see...I'm risking my life here.  Ah well...

banana bread...LOVE it!  It was wonderful baby girl. 

I...believe that is chocolate bread pudding there beside the pancakes. Amazing stuff chocolate bread pudding!  Have you tried it?

Just to show what a wonderful brunch my daughter and daughter in law can throw! 

(if I get in trouble...*shrug* I get in trouble)   Cheryl....shhhhhhhh  :):)

Memosa's

Frittata

hashbrowns (of course!)

It was all so wonderful..

NOT too organized..but..it's a post.  Right? 

(yes, yes, I 'm a little nervous...just a little!  Darn!  After all I AM THE MOTHER HERE!!) grrrrrr

I am off to bed.  I wish I could share more..but it's all my own fault and I've no one but myself to blame.   I should have kept blogging to myself.  HOW I wish I were a more private type person.

I never have been and doubt I am going to change now

What great comments you left me on my last post.  See the courage you've given me??

But...I'm keeping to the rules.  So far...

Luv'n hugs,

Mona

ok...here is a couple of reasons people don't want their pictures posted.

Me with a cheek full of sugar cookie trying to smile and swallow at the same time.  They took me off guard.  Darn near choked!  See the cookie crumbs on my mouth?  :)  Piggy piggy!   What if someone else had posted this picture on facebook with my face all stuffed with cookies.  Soooo...I get it!  I do!

Here is another  example.  To use this photo..and it was cute of my husband, sister in law and daughter kidding around while we said our goodby's..but I cut her out so I could use the picture because of how she feels.    I have others but no good ones. Now...see that spot on my sweet man's  shirt???  :)   Ok..now I am beginning to understand daughter!  :)  A little. 

But..you see, pictures are not all of it.  It's just blogging in general that she disapproves of. :(
