Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

My Project


When Jonge tired of painting the garage door with water for Pake, he came inside to 'help' me. I've had two of these four pictures for years and years and recently found another pair. I thought they might look good on the back porch, but since two of each are the same I needed to fix them up a bit.

I remembered my 'word for the year' is HOPE, so I went to Michael's last night to buy four letters. As I was picking them out, it came to me suddenly that I already had these letters and they were already painted pink! The letters are glued onto the glass with glass glue, but I'm still not sure about the buttons. Those are still just sitting there while I think about it.



This shows a bit more detail. Does it need more? They will be hanging on the very very brown/woody walls of the porch, so I want them to pop. But, since I tend to not know when to stop, I'm strangely reticent to add more.Jonge is such a joy to be with. The look he gives me at the end of this video is one of my favorites. I don't think I have EVER seen a child who resembles his daddy as much as this one does!

That look was fleeting, but so precious! Love the pictures - love the buttons and the letters. Glue it all just the way you have it - then leave it alone! They are perfect the way they are!

They are perfection. Don't add or subtract a thing!
I've had that very same look in my eye as Jonge at the very mention of cookies. Actually anything sweet will make my eyes glaze over and my heart flutter. And I wonder why I'm so "full figured"!

I really love the pictures. I wouldn't change a thing.

My *word* for the year is HOPE, too, upon the wise advice of my pastor.

I have come to really love that word!
