Refreshing

Sometimes it's imperative to take a dip in order to be refreshed.
Bee thinks so.Although, my technique doesn't require a bath (to Daddy Mock's dismay).
I've been making it a goal to be even more unplugged by spending less time online.
Since we don't have television, this is our only port into the outside world. Well, I suppose we could have the newspaper, but we're a little too modern day for that (confession, cheap--but modern day sounds more sophisticated), not to mention I have a slight pet peeve of newspaper stacks left here and there.
It's been delightful.
Rather than pouring over fun fabric sites, craft sites, natural news sites and the like, I have been sewing, baking, and reading. And spending more time with the Daddy Mock, which always results in a lot of laughter and a lot of spice (interpret "spice" at your own risk).
It's been a great dip, one I hope to continue to stay submersed in.

Hitch a Ride

Within the last few months, I have had numerous walkers stop me on my jog asking if these two are twins. Also in the grocery store.
How did they come to this conclusion?
Different skin color
Different eye color
Different hair color
Different size
(may be the same in width to the questioning parties' defense)
On the other hand, when I look at a picture like this, I am taken back at how much they do, in fact, look a like.
I also experience a little heart flutter when something as simple as Kid's hand covering Baby's takes place. To watch these two as siblings become little buddies is such a gift.
