Erma Bombeck and A little humor in April

One of my favorite comedians is Erma Bombeck.  Her unique real-life humor spices timeless heart-felt jolts; a painted reality of the joys of everyday American life.

I’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn’t danced in television.

In two decades I’ve lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.

Most women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.

My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.

With my time at a premium right now, I just wanted to share a laugh, or two. Hope your day is full of smiles and fun. And if your a mom buried in diapers (especially) don’t take yourself too seriously, it all happens way too fast.

Nests everywhere…baby robins filling the trees!

How wonderful!  A nest of robins born right outside our kitchen window.  The proud couple were quite the pair.  The male persistently watched from the cherry tree four feet away while the female tended to the nest.  Whenever she left to find food he would chase anything coming close, far away – especially those silly old blackbirds.

I am still amazed at the fact they were eight inches from our indoor happenings.  The only time she complained was when the vacuum was running.

I hope you enjoy these photos, as I enjoy sharing simple moments from our life!

The early days...baby robins

Growing...growing...and leaving the nest

Daddy robin is always on watch
