Fun Monday

Our host this month is Hootin Anni. She has given us a little Mother May I assignment.
- 30 GIANT STEPS - IN ANY direction. You may have to make a few turns and pivots so you won't run into any walls or such...don't want any injuries today! WARNING: Avoid any obstacles in the way- if there's a door...open it & continue, if there is a wall...pivot AROUND it. You may end up outdoors! Or perhaps if a small apartment....down the hallway....who knows?!! :::thinking::: "Oh gawd, if there's a pool at the end of your thirty steps, I sure as H E double L hope you can swim!!!!"After the 30 giant steps, Stop!TAKE A PHOTO AND/OR NOTE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING!! Then, take 15 baby steps back.After the 15 baby steps, Stop!TAKE A PHOTO AND/OR NOTE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING LOOK in any direction -to your right, left, up [more than likely, not down ---that'd be your feet!!]. What you see is what we get!!Stop!It's all about your first glance after the giant/baby steps!!!

Okay, so I did this twice. Once into the outdoors and once on down the hall into the depths of my house.

Mother may I? #1 - THE OUTDOORS

I left my computer and took thirty giant steps out of my bedroom door, across my kitchen, into my living room, out the front door and across the porch (It should be noted that I have REALLY long legs, my giant steps are pretty giant.) I ended up in front of my bushes to the side of my porch. I am not sure what this bush is. It is green in the spring and summer, but in the fall it sheds its leaves and sprouts tiny white flowers. It is very pretty. I don't trim it back. I let it grow and grow, so that it blots out the view of my neighbor's house. I am social like that.

So then I took 15 baby steps back across my porch and ended up backing down the steps where Princess H was sitting. She happened to be the prettiest thing around, so I took a seat and snapped her picture. I hope that the sitting down is okay. I mean she looks so much cuter from the side. The top of her head is nice and all, but not as nice as those pretty blue eyes.

Mother May I? #2 - THE INDOORS

So this time I took my giant steps right on past the front door and down the hall into Super Z's room. I ended up in front of his Ark. His Pappy, my Mom's husband, built this Ark for Super Z while he was still in my belly. This is the reason why my son feels that he is entitled to two of every Beanie Baby. He loves this almost as much as I do.I then took my 15 baby steps back into the hallway. I ended up in front of my shelf. My Mamaw gave me this shelf when I got married. It has been on the wall in every house that I have shared with Randy. It is one of those things that I will keep forever. On this shelf are several of my blue glass pieces that loved ones have given me over the years. I love me some blue glass. The black cat is a gift that my best friend/cousin Becky gave me when we were in the 6th grade. On the middle shelf is a picture of Randy, Super Z and I at Super Z's baptism. On the bottom shelf there is a picture of me and my Mom when I was a baby. What does this shelf say about me? It says that I am sentimental. It says that I like moons. It says hey world, this girl puts together a mean shelf.
