I'm lovin': ~ Fall is officially here at the Johnson household. Bill started our first fire in the wood stove last night. I could imagine the neighbors over a few blocks thinking, what a wonderful smell of fall in the air! ~ The warmth left over in our basement, as I sit here typing this post....
Staying up all night wasn't as bad as I thought. 2 AM - 3:30 AM was the worst. I couldn't really find a movie I was interested in, so I pretty much channel flicked. I watched a few I Love Lucy reruns, which were surprisingly entertaining! I forgot what a hoot she is! Fox news had a continuous news...
Taylor had a sleepover with a friend tonight. That is, until we got a call from her friend's dad (a friend of ours) telling us that there had been an accident. Their kitty clawed Taylor right on the eyeball. We met them at the ER. Thankfully, only one layer of the white part of her eyeball had a...
Taylor was surprised yesterday morning when her principal called her name to receive the Academic All Star Award in her class. I knew about it, as the school had called & told me. Thankfully, I was scheduled to sub at her school so I was able to see her receive the award! I'm so proud of her,...
We were driving, all of us, and Taylor had her hat. She demanded her pink hat so she would stay out of the sun. So, we fetched it, she wore it and we went outside, got in the Cruiser and headed somewhere. Don't ask, I can't remember, life is a blur right now. While heading to that somewhere, the...
We had some Chinese food. When one moves houses, one eats a lot of fast foot and ingests jinormous mounts of Coca Cola. All hail the mighty junkiness of it all. So, we ingested some Chinese fast food one night and Daddy gave Taylor her Fortune Cookie. She has had many fortune cookies. She gets it....
Last week we had a new addition to the family...after saving up my pennies for many months, and doing research into some different models for longer than that, I walked into my local guitar store (Mass Street Music) and walked out with this beauty: It's a Taylor 214ce electric-acoustic, which is one...
Taylor started complaining a couple of months ago that she couldn't see the music notes for piano lessons & practice. I was concerned, yet I was skeptical. She has had a fascination with eyeglasses for some time. I made an appointment and we went today to the eye doctor. After an hour long visit,...
I heard about Kid Nation through pageants. I didn't hear about the ghost town at first — I just heard about going away for 40 days with 40 kids without your parents. But I was surprised that everybody ended up making so much controversy that we were by ourselves, because that's not true! There...
I think it is fair to say that Dad has 'a thing' for July. Maybe it's that he is a 40+ year federal employee and a veteran, or maybe it's just the excitement of the celebrations themselves, but we always had fun in July. As a little girl we use to do ALL the 4th of July celebrations. Morning...

Today I watched one episode of Absolute Boyfriend and another 3 and a half of 1% of Anything. Both are romantic comedies coming from Japan and South Korea, respectively. There is definitely a difference in drama styles between the two countries. Japan's dramas are definitely not as popular as Korean...
I entered the quest photo contest at WPG. My picture of Taylor earned a 2nd place! There were 11 contestants & quite a few pictures. So fun to look at all of them - and so fun to learn from them!
Here's my post for the black & white photo quest. It was really fun to come up with ideas of what pictures to take! Here's one of our piano. Even the photos on top look like they were taken in black & white! This is Taylor sitting in our back yard. I think I'll have this one printed & framed...I...
