Belated photos

I'm finally dealing with some of the photos that have been accumulating on the camera. Since I'm sure you all read this for the Nora pictures, I've finally got some to share:

Nora at Pierre Marquette State Park playing with the Giant Chess set.

This is the princess costume I got on Halloween clearance, that fits Nora scarily well and she becomes even more imperious while wearing it. She loves it so much that Jason and I have come to terms with it.

Here she is with Todd celebrating the Obama victory election night, despite their monarchist leanings (Todd far too much of an Anglophile to not love the Queen and Nora thinks she is the Queen).
Lastly, here is Nora wearing pigtails (for the moment) in front of the tree.

Welcome to the second half of the 20th century

The transition from broadcast to digital television and our invasion of their home has forced some hard decisions on the parental units. While most of you have been enjoying having more than 5 television channels for the past 30 years, there are some who find it a new and confusing world and don't even bring up this new fangled internet thing. Mostly, Jason and I have been trying to serve as the buffer with those technology pushers, otherwise known as our phone service providers (and I agree that dealing with them has not been a relaxing or fun process and I will be happy if I do not have to call them tomorrow for the 5th day in a row) but still the changes are apparent. The toaster oven and lunch boxes were bad enough, but this satellite television may be the end. We are shocked, shocked and dismayed at the size of this receiver box, but it is the price one has to pay if one wants to watch the news while cooking. I can only hope that the kitchen will not be irrevocably harmed. Please think of us in this difficult time and hope that we can all get through this period of decreased counter space.

Get Your Craft On

I missed the Rock and Roll Craft Show last weekend, due to the move and illness, but I'll be heading out to the Big Ass Indie Art and Craft Show this weekend and the Rock & Roll's former digs, Mad Art Gallery.

Here's the details.

We're still sick (day 11).

We're moved (day 8)

Nora's hair is long enough for pigtails but she won't keep them in.

Someday I'll post pictures again.
