The many faces of Luca

my friend Luca is such a stud and he makes the best faces!!


this is one of my favorites cause i bug him all the time that i can't tell where he's looking when he wears these glasses, which he says is the point, but if you look really close you can see the reflection of me taking his picture in them :)

The tag goes on, I mean the beat!

The End of an Era

And so our softball season has ended. I'm ok with that. It was sweaty and scary and dusty and so fun! I even got to play more than one position! Here are some of my memories...

Happy summer season everyone!!!

Explosion Bringing the Neighborhood Together

A couple of weeks ago, Bobby and I were minding our own business up in the office messing around on our computers and listening to the periodic police sirens passing when i noticed that the last siren wasn't fading away. Strange, i wonder where its going? so i looked out the window to watch it pass and a lady across the street was waving to a firetruck that was pulling up outside! What the ?

View from my front door

Not only was there a fire truck there were about 5 police cars parked along the street spanning up and down from the house, a few moving to block off the ends of the street and an ambulance pulling around the corner!

(notice the row of police cars behind him)

Turns out a woman across the street heard an explosion in her laundry/utility room and called 911. I think the scariest thing was how fast the firemen and officers were running to the house, some still pulling their gear on!

real live firemen saving our lives

All the neighbors came out to watch and the few that were asked to leave their houses until the officers figured out what was wrong sat down to camp out in front of our mail boxes. I don't think i'd ever met this many of my neighbors before (is that sad?).

Hello Neighbors :)

"Mommy, what's she doing?"

In the end they figured out that it was a combination of a blown out pilot light in the furnace leaking gas and a bug bomb the lady had just put in her laundry/utility room to kill some spiders. The flame from the bug bomb ignited the excess leaked gas and BOMB, hole in the floor! Nothing else was damaged and everything was stable. Oh good! But what an exciting day!

Do Old People Move in Packs?

I swear they do! I went to KFC for my lunch break today and i was head and shoulders above a sea of old people! They were in the line ahead of me, and filling up the line behind me and all the people at the tables where old too! I'm 5'9", wearing a black skirt and heals in a shuffling mob of white hair. I didn't just stick out i stuck out! Maybe they were having a special or something and advertised for oldies ;)
