.: CATCH UP, PART 1

Phenomenal Woman
by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me. I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist, and the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Men themselves have wondered what they see in me. They try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them they say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, the sun of my smile, the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

Now you understand just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing it ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care, 'cause I'm a woman Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman, that's me.

CATCH UP, PART 1

Pics from Jason's iphone I forgot to blog from last year.

JULY 2010. Clark Planetarium.

AUGUST 2010.
The best playhouse on the planet! Only found in Aunt Neat's backyard in Alpine. It's a 2-story Victorian.
Let's take a tour.

It's been the center of many great imaginary play-dates in my family for over 20 years now.

"Who es et?"

Si and Lydia playing "mommy and daddy."

Adorable antique kiddie hutch.

All the furniture is just the perfect size.

Great windows with old school plantation shutters.

"Mom, peas come down. Et's time fo yew to go to woke."

Awesome rainbow outside Jason's office beneath Cottonwood Canyon.

OCTOBER 2010
Jason went on an overnight deep sea fishing expedition with his Dad, brothers and some friends near Corpus Christi, TX.

One of the fish Jason caught. 80 lbs.

Total catch for the boat within 10 hours of fishing,
totaling 2, 900 lbs.

CORNBELLY'S
This was Siley's favorite favorite tire swing. Every time we went he had to ride it for a couple minutes.

Water racing ducks

The Cornbellys Monster

The boys look like cute little dolls in this picture!
