+Dirk Reul I made this bread today. I must tell you that it is amazing! I have not made bread by hand in at least 20 years. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

Angry Day
Lately I have been buying t-shirts "blindly"...meaning I pay for x number of shirts and the company I am buying from chooses the design for me. 9 times out of 10 the shirt is perfect for me. This is one of those times. I saw this and thought instantly of (left to right) +Jordan Oram +kimberton pemberly and +Sandra Parlow....and I started laughing, and laughing, and laughing.....I couldn't stop.
I can just picture any one of them making this face and going "GRRRRRR" and then busting up into a major giggle fit! All three of them are just about the sweetest people on this planet! And even if they do have bad days.....I just cannot imagine it....because when I think of the three of them.....they are always smiling!
{{{hugs}}} you guys! :D
p.s. +Cheryl Cooper this is the shirt I posted about.

JONATHAN CHRISTOPHER KENDALL (1962-2013)
With the greatest of sorrow I, +su ann lim , have to inform you that Jonathan Christopher Kendall, my fiancé and love of my life, died suddenly last night on 15 June 2013. Despite the incredible efforts of our friends +Suzanne Jacob +Gaynal Brierley , paramedics and ambulance personnel he could not be revived.
Jonathan lived as he believed, telling it like it is, with wit and humour, enjoying life to the hilt, with honour, directness and compassion. I was incredibly blessed to be the recipient of his immense love, and as each other's beloved, to share unbelievable happiness for too short a time. Jonathan, I LOVE YOU with all my heart and miss you desperately.
One of the favourite activities in his life was to engage with all you here on Google Plus. He thrived on the intellectual challenges, soaked up a vast amou... more »

We finally have nice enough weather I could take a photo.
This is why my arms were so freaking tired last weekend. My father-in-law and brother-in-law were kind enough to give this patio set to my husband and me. It had been sitting pretty much unused in the front room of their boat house for the last 12 years. So it needed a really good scrub and then a soaking in teak oil. Not sure if it is teak or mahogany.....but it doesn't really matter.....as I think it is just gorgeous.
I am so excited to get a chance to use the deck this summer!
Everyone is invited over for drinks :D

Yesterday was The Kids birthday. I have known him since he was 2! He has grown into such a great kid, smart, great at sports, full of compassion, and really fun to be around.
Plus he shares my love of Lego!

I am quite happy that no one had a camera to capture the spectacular fall I took this morning! :D You just can't take me anywhere.....and especially not in heels.
If the knee develops the bruise I think it will....I will share photos :D

"Those? Well, one does want a hint of color."
A shield bug of some variety.
And bonus points to the first person who can identify the movie I took the title from.

Today it is the perfect temperature to be sitting outside on the patio reading a good book......there are 2 problems with that.
1) I am working :(
2) I have no patio furniture.....but I will be fixing that issue later today!

Seriously?!?!?! Just last Friday....it was almost 100 degrees and I was regretting not having my husband put the a/c in the window. Sunday (just 2 days ago) it was so hot even the soccer players were walking more than they were running. Today.....the heater is on.

My best friend wanted a print of the photo of her son catching in a little league game.....so I decided to give SmugMug printing a try. I also ordered a print of "Fairy Dust" for myself at the same time. The order was easy to place and arrived on time as promised. The colors and exposure are perfect, and I love how "Fairy Dust" looks on the metallic paper....but it is damaged :( I have sent an e-mail off with a photo of the damage....now we wait to see how their customer service stands up. They get the benefit of the doubt for now.....
Update I would say their customer service ROCKS! 45 min after I sent the original e-mail....I have a reply, they have said they are re-printing the 11x14 and sending it with upgraded shipping. Now I know who to recommend when others ask where I have my printing done! Great Job +SmugMug

My little Mason (my best friends son) He may be the smallest kid on the team....but he has the most hustle! He scored 3 goals this game..... and he worked quite hard at trying to give all the team members a chance to get a goal. He is a great kid!

Today was my first attempt at shooting a soccer game. Not as easy as one might think! :D Between all the players bunching up and getting between me and the action.....and having people sitting in chairs showing up in the background.....it was a challenge to get shots I like.

20,000
When you are shooting a soccer game....you have little or no control over what you capture for the 20,000 photo taken with your camera.
22 months to reach 20,000....I need to pick up the pace I think :D
This is SOOC and not a photo I would normally have shared.

"Hello Again"
Hello again, hello
Just called to say hello
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home, hello
Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear
Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say, hello
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
And I know it's late
But... more »

So I am watching a TV show called "Wallander" (UK TV) and guess who is a Junior police officer????
Loki! (Tom Hiddleston) he looks so innocent with blond curly hair.

Reflection on a Nation
© Jeff R. Clow
Something I wrote a few years back that I always reread - and recall - on Memorial Day:
"The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial (The Wall) transformed me from a tourist to a humbled, thankful citizen in a period of a very few minutes.
The 58,000 names inscribed - of the United States men and women who died in the Vietnam War - overwhelm a person very quickly. Panel after panel, name after name. Hispanic surnames, Native American surnames, and hundreds of names that reflect the diversity of our nation - and the diversity of the sacrifices that were made on our behalf.
But the tears started flowing as I walked back toward the Washington Monument along the East Wall and stopped short in my tracks.
I then really saw the Wall for the first time. I saw the men and women...the visitors at this moment.... ... more »

Memorial Day
I tried to think of all the words I wanted to write here....all the emotions that this day brings. I have decided I will let the "writers" here do their stuff, and let them write all the prose. I will just say what is in my heart.
Thank you!

I am so proud, honored and humbled to have the privileged to stand in the shadow of extraordinary men.
A little over a year ago +Ken Smith and I started a quiet but important journey, a non profit called the +Veterans Workshop Ken has been a tireless Veterans advocate for over 20 years since he started the largest homeless shelter for Veterans in the country in Boston.
Let me be unerringly clear, this in not about us, far far from it. It is about the men who have lost their sight, their hearing or the use of their bodies but not their minds, not their determination and spirit. People like +Emory Finefrock +GeorGe Lamb +Chuck Smith and +Martin Brown who comprise our fist class. These disabled Veterans are training to help other disabled Veterans using the power of Google Plus.
The +Veterans Workshop is one of my greatest passions in life. It is a way that I can... more »
