what michael jackson song are you...

over on facebook i took a little quiz in honor of the pop king... what michael jackson song are you

You are "Thriller" - Michael Jackson's great song. You like to have fun, but at the same time you enjoy excitement and....well... thrill. There is a lot of energy in you which you don't show to others. But sometimes when people don't see you, you become unpredictable. You can transform into something else - a monster: a werewolf, vampire or a zombie. But a friendly monster. If an old lady needed some help while crossing a street, you would generously help her even as a monster. And of course you would dance the famous "Thriller" dance in the middle of the street with her!

favorite things about summer...

• 2 weeks with my family in Rhode Island
• cocktails on the deck at the end of the day with super hubby
• sleeping with the windows open
• all the photo ops
• my garden... i love how my garden looks in the summer
• corn on the cob
• cherries... cherries... cherries...
• the smell of fresh rain

and for me... this picture sums up summer with the paklets

a thousand word thursday

my brother lives in Madison... WI... land of cheese...

these popped up on my screen this week and i instantly thought they'd be perfect for ATWT...


yes that is me being malled by the dog... Truman... he always thought i was my mom when we came to visit so he insisted on sitting on me... if you look real close i think he has his tongue in my mouth...

cousins circa 2003...
