Thursday, July 30

Though I resist it every day, something in me knows that this crappy street is my birthright. On a rainy Thursday, as July dies a messy death, Erwin Street seems beautiful.

It was so good to have a bit of time with best-friend Morgan and family again.

I lost another couple of days this weekend. I know that Stacy and I went to the movies on Saturday night, and that I mowed on Saturday. Sunday, I taught Sunday school and lead worship because Paul was in Michigan. It was a busy weekend, but certainly not too busy for me to take a shot or two, at least with my iPhone....

Nevertheless, slacker that I am, I missed two days.

This sign was "vandalized" Sunday night. I drove past it this morning with Mia in the truck and had to swing back by to immortalize someone's (mild) creativity with this photo.

It's certainly not Shakespeare, but it made me smile.

I got up extra early to take Mia Emmeline to Dallas to Scottish Rite to have her braces adjusted. I took several good photos that day (can't find a single one for Thursday, though!) but below is the one for me to post.

I stepped outside as the sun came up--I saw the strangest color of fuchsia in our kitchen and wanted to make certain that nothing in our neighborhood was on fire.

And it was just the sky.
