Two Peas In a Pod
Needless to say, my mother has been less than thrilled with my obsession with taking photos. Everytime I get the camera out, she whines and complains and tells me how she is going to break the camera or "maybe just hide it". And naturally, none of the rest of the household is thrilled with my constant jabbering of, "Take my picture! Take OUR picture!" (Grainne, I am sure you can relate), so I am forced to take the pictures myself. Being completely honest here, there are only certain people who look good in those pictures where you hold the camera at arm's length and snap away...neither Judy nor I happen to fit that category. That's why I was so excited with this picture, where although it looks like mom has two heads, we both look relatively normal. This picture was taken after a pea pod war, started by the mother in an outdoor arena around the garden by first eating the peas out of the pod and then ceremoniously hurling them in my general direction. We tried to involve Nancy too, but she didn't think it was as funny as the nearly pee-your-pants laughter that mom and I were sharing. Guess that brings new meaning to "two peas in a pod".

What happened to the blonde curls? do they not fit in on the ranch?
The blonde should be making a triumphant return sooner rather than later...the dark was a SMALL Japanese-like mistake. Hopefully the curls will also make a return...just as long as I don't look like Tina Turner. Totally not into that!
