a different view of the lights

by Rachel Marie Martin

We now interrupt my regular blogging to bring you a different look at me.

A silly one, perhaps?

It was one of those pics that Hannah snapped while I was putting lights up outside.

(Interested in those lights?  Read this post about why I put lights up — memory strands)

So she asked me to strike a funny pose.  And this was the best I could do.

Oh well, it proves that I’m normal.  Right?

Or at least a mom.

Sigh.

(I can never figure out what compels me to put these pics up)

So here you go. Enjoy.

and yes, my garage is rather full of stuff.

Organized stuff.

Link up to Hannah’s Lovely Photo Wednesday and share a pic of you.  Let me know you did — and I’ll be off to check it out.

I love this picture! That is the exact look I would give if we had to string lights along the outside of our house! Oh the blessing of Downtown apartment living! I do, however, make that face when stringing them around windows or the tree!

If that is you looking goofy then I’d hate to see you looking great. Because, I think you look pretty darn great for looking goofy! Also, is that a cougar on your jacket? Shudder! ; )

Proof that you actually did it!
Always here praying!
Psalms 121:6-8 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
