Goodbye old friend...

The Handy Man has a rule... No new flops can come home unless an old pair goes in the trash.

I really needed a new pair of Nike sandals. My old ones had been around for five summers, give or take a few, and were starting to look unsanitary. Even though I have a brand new, super comfy pair I was still sad to put the old ones in the trash.

Goodbye old friend... my toes will miss you but my nose sure won't!

Easter 2010

It was nice to get out and see family. Lots of cute kids = Lots of photos.

The sun set made for some great lighting during our egg hunt.

The whole crew... It's impossible to get a picture of these kids all looking at the same place at the same time. Maybe when they are adults it will be easier.

Happy Easter!

love,
Handy Manny and Mrs. G

From India with love

One of my students from last year spent this year studying abroad in India. She came to visit today and brought me a great little purse and some bracelets.

I love these bracelets. Now I just need to get an outfit to wear them with.

OSU Winter Graduation

Some pictures from Sunday...

I love seeing all the faculty dressed for graduation. They look so accomplished in their robes and hoods.

Motocross

I have to admit that when Handy Manny said he wanted to go to the Motocross show I wasn't super excited but it was really fun to watch them up close. The pictures aren't that great but the tricks were pretty cool.

Watching them do things like this, I was terrified that they would fall. Thank goodness they all landed their tricks.

Handy Manny's Recient Handiness

I wish we had some "before"pictures because it sure didn't look like this...

I think the hand stitched handles are my favorite part.

The Last...

pictures I took... almost two weeks ago.

A sign that spring is near...

and a sign that it still might be a little too cold in our house.
