The Marble fridge+


See my earlier post from today for full disclosure and info on upcoming explanation.

Refrigerator - expose

I was completely enthralled by this exhibit of refrigerator pictures. Here's the link

http://www.good.is/post/picture-show-you-are-what-you-eat

This is a project by Mark Menjivar, in which he looks at hunger. Entitled “You Are What You Eat,” he photographed the contents of strangers’ refrigerators and posted them with brief descriptions of the individual what they did as a profession and how many lived in the household.

Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and read through the comments.

We took a pic of the Marble fridge - yikes! I'll be posting that in a few minutes and will be writing about it for my column in the Neosho Daily News www.neoshodailynews.com for Wednesday, May 27.

One of the twins made the mistake early this afternoon of flopping himself dramatically across the couch and declaring himself bored.

You should pity the child.

I've had a To Be Done list just waiting for such an event.

So far, over the past two hours, he and his brother have:
  • Weeded the backyard
  • Cleaned and refishing the wooden lawn bench
  • Cleaned, washed, hung to dry Fez, the wonder beagle's bedding
  • Repotted and divided my spider plant
  • Planted some additional flowers

They're taken a brief break and will then begin mowing the lawn, weeding the side yard, emptying all the trash cans and moving the trash bin to the front curb for pick up tomorrow.

A couple of weeks ago, Big Al and I met some friends after work. One of the guys I had gone to high school with in Oklahoma.

My mom was our school librarian.

At one point, this long-time acquaintance looked at me and laughed. I asked what was up and he replied, "I never noticed before how much you look like your mother."

Well, after my mother skills display this afternoon...I'm reminding myself of her as well.
