Amazingly, it’s envelopes!
Yes, envelopes! Who knew??
Big ones, about 6″ x 8″ (30 x 40 cm,) great for including loose 5x7s.
I wrote family and friends’ names on each correspondingly, then arranged ’em alphabetically in that cute box above.
I oughta patent this, eh?! 🙂
I need more envelopes, tho. I have a LOT of friends and family!
Plus, all the house remodeling stuff!
Ooooo, I’m gonna have SO many great pre-digital photo posts for you guys!!
Hey, Jo Miffo — my lovely English penpal since 1994 — do you see YOUR envelope at the far bottom left ??!!
Now, let’s go on a reverse time lapse of my ingenius photo plan, shall we?
Excellent!
Wheeeeee…
hoooooooo….
Fun, eh??
🙂
And… back to the morning of March 12th, again. I call this “More Photos Await…”
Friends, I’ve come a looong way since my busted-up laundry hamper days, eh?
🙂
Remember that post?
Toodle-oooo.

The Child and her friend broke into dance at Hut’s Hamburgers Friday.
It’s funny to see them hanging out ’cause Kelly’s a super petite 9-year-old, and her pal at only 11 is already 5’4″!
(I’m 5′ 2 and 3/4″ tall.)
🙂
It’s lovely they enjoy each other so much.
Later at the friend’s house I captured these 3 with my new camera…
Lovely lovely love.
And their house is SO beautiful! It was featured a couple years ago in “This Old House” magazine.
They have 4 kids — ages 11, 9, 7 and 4!!
Saturday I took a little lady to the bookstore…
(Did not BUY any books. We use the library.)
This morning I started reorganizing some pre-digital pix — again!
I’m doing them really supergood this time!
You’re gonna be SO impressed with my organization — and the posts of the pix thereof!!
And…
Erika came over for a playdate chill session / sleepover last night.
(I’ve been informed the word “playdate” is “so five-year-old!”)
Well, that’s it!
Jim, Kelly and I are heading out soon on a hike, whooooohooooo.
Anything to say, ask or add?
With love, from Jannie

P.S. All pix are with my new cam. Still trying to learn the settings.

The Child awoke uncomplainingly and dressed with a song and dance.
The Chick Filet drive-thru peeps filled my cup nice and full, whoohoooo — I LOVE when that happens!
By 8:20 a.m. Kelly had finished her last half mile for Marathon Kids 2010-2011. Medal ceremony this Saturday!
Next photo — winter weary friends — please brace yourselves. Live flowers ahead…
Daffodils were jumping out at drivers.
I found the EXACT black pen I LOVE, at the first place I stopped!!
Those of you who are intimate with Pilot Precise Vs know the many-spendored thrill of them.
Did a little happy dance in a store window on the way back to the car.
Sat in an Internet cafe and filled out my green card renewal ap. (Yep, $450 for that.)
Ate a bean, cheese and egg taco there — not bad.
Popped over to the P.O. and mailed my ap. Yesssssss!!!
Bloghopped a while.
Then, (sorry no visuals) ….
Ate lunch.
Met Kalyani at Jim’s shop where she dropped off her car for service.
Drove Kalyani home.
Picked up Kelly from school.
Ran a couple errands.
Took her to the Dollar Store where with her own money, of her own initiative, and with me waiting outside the store, she bought anniversary surprises for Jim and me.
We were married 19 years yesterday!!!
Went home.
Took bath.
Took Kelly to gymnastics.
Took that pic through the big plate-glass gymnastics viewing window.
Took that pic of me in the viewing area, all dressed up for our anniversary dinner!
Jim called not feeling so well (has my yuckkies from last week) to ask for a rain check on dinner.
No prob!
Went home.
We all ate good food.
I drank beer.
Kelly gave us our presents.
Green and white sparkly flowers in a plastic vase for me, and for Jim — plastic salt and pepper shakers and some pencil erasers!!!!!
I gave Jim his dollar store anniversary surprise — a collage photo frame to fill with updated family pix for his office.
And he gave me my surprise, and HOLY COW, WHAT A SURPRISE…
AN AMAZING NEW CAMERA!!!
The exact one I was saving for — $249.99, but he snagged it for $199.99 with an Instant Rebate, whooohoooo!!!
What a freaking awesome husband, child, day and universe, eh??!!!
(A new camera because the iPhone takes decent pix in only about 10% of lighting situations.)
My New Camera is so precious I can’t quite bring myself to take it out of the box yet.
But I will. Oh yes, I will.
Eventually — and probably quite soon!

And dear Snaggle, I made these all 780px wide today, instead of my regular 790px, hoping they’ll load faster for you.
I do try to think of my friends. I really do.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
P.S. There was more fabulous excellent stuff yesterday too, but how much can you people take in one post!!?!??

Bro, it’s your birthday — 50 years today!
(Holy crap.)
🙂
Did my best to get the scratches out of the old pic. Not perfect, but not bad. Sorry your hand looks mutilated.
And I’m not even into the beer today!
(Yet.)
Hope you are well, Harry-The-Scary-Cherry, 2700 miles away in Fun Land, but more alive and alove in my heart than ever.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
With much love, from your sisterly contraption, Jannie “Lockjaw” “Snaggletooth” “Junebug” Muffin.

P.S. I know I wailed like it was the end of the world the day you threw all those bantam hen eggs at my head, but I’m glad you did! So many memories, so much fun on the farm.

Over three years now since we all met.
My Uber Blessing Buddy, Kalyani — Fuzzy Pants Lady a.k.a. My Backup Singer (and Wonderful Songwriter,) is the other little girl’s mother.
I’m sure I’ve got good pix of the girls at age 8 somewhere too. But 3 will have to do for today!
“Age 9” was taken yesterday after a sleep-over here, doing a little landscaping out front.
“Age 7” was taken at our very very wonderful Barton Springs.
“Age 6” was taken only a couple months after we all met, after the girls’ first sleep-over.
I like that they are both wearing t-shirts of mine in the Age 6 one.
And how are YOU??
I hope you are having a GREAT day!? (Or evening, as the case may be?)
Poetry book winners announced here as soon as I can. I promise. I was going to run up my tree and do that earlier, but got side-tracked by this post — glad I did, tho. This post makes me smile.
In other news…
I am a bit behind with blog reading and with comment answering, sorry. Happens a lot to me!
🙂
And BB needs whipped cream, candles, dishes and serving spoons for his feast!!
But it’s all good.
Got some beautiful magical song creating done Friday night in the studio. I love working with George Coyne!
Planning to get away for a mini-vacation tomorrow and Wednesday.
Then coming back to make and enjoy our Thanksgiving Meal.
But directly after I post this, I shall grab a bath, my lucky blue hat, my guitar and zip to the library to work on song charts.
Hope you are having an awesome moment!!!
🙂
Take care!
Love, Jannie
xoxo
