It's all about the Cake!

this has gotta be the cutest cake I've ever seen!

Inertia, it's the only {lame} excuse I have for not posting Happy Birthday sentiments to the wonderful women in my life, whose birthdays fell in February. But before the clock strikes midnight and out like a lion in like a lamb begins, here's some cake for these birthday Goddesses...please have a piece and leave a birthday wish if you like...

Betty, my mom ~ born February 11th




Aunt Connie ~ born February 15th
Because she just became a Grandma, I gift her, Babycakes!




Corinne, gorgeous soul mate friend ~ born February 18th




Although I'm not quite sure of her date (may possibly be the end of January,)
Mary, one Zenmomma who lives in a garden!

A BACON garden!




And last, but certainly not least...gleefully I've not missed her big day, is
Tiffany, loving, compassionate, the younger version of Goddess ~ born February 28th

Oh Tiff, I'd totally put him on your cake!!





No matter the date, I send you wishes always!

Making Friends with What Is...Blue

Been having that feeling again...except this year those old familiar blue tones were patiently waiting to greet me in mid February.

The weather certainly isn't in any way uplifting...it snowed sideways most of the day here.

It feels more and more difficult to come out from the blue cavern.



Possibly if I just make friends with my blue phenomenon something blue-ti-ful will take root...

Larry Sterrs...This Post's for YOU!

Look Honey ... I got'z color!




....See you Saturday! Who can wait???

Inquiring Lurkers Minds Want to Know., "What's up with the Island?"

My newest blog header was lifted is from a real estate company somewhere in the Bahamas. It's a fairly decent aerial view of "our island"-- Lubbers Quarters Cay nearer the southern end of the chain of Abacos islands in the Bahamas.

Pretty sweet, huh?

For many years our best friends Larry & Sharon have vacationed on various islands in the Bahamas. Their knowledge of these areas and waters, coupled with their desire to some day spend more time in warmer climates, got the men [especially] motivated to explore this once thought "snowball's chance in hell."

Of course it would take a couple "man trips" and exploring several islands before our hunter gatherers struck gold. "Oceanview," as it was named by the previous and only owner, is fast becoming the hideout home away from home that the four of us had only dreamed of owning.

After a long and sometimes tedious international land/home purchase we've only just begun to enjoy vacations at Oceanview. And so far it's been a vacation grab bag of sorts with mutual friends joining Larry & Sharon for their 25th wedding anniversary two years ago, or Larry and Sharon alone, or us and them. But I confess my favorite would be "the man trip" that Larry, Larry, and Wes have taken a few times now...well, it will have been my favorite until Saturday when Sharon & I meet up the husbands and spend a week together island heavily medicating ourselves with Kalik, Bahamian beer hopping!

There's so much more to say about this watery slice of heaven, but I need to cram more less than 4oz contraband into that ridiculous postage-stamp size baggy!

...And if you can stand to look, come back for photos of our "full moon at Cracker P's Bar & Grill" and any PG13 rated pics[as if!] of Bahama shenanigans!

Having Not Read the Script, I can Only Imagine What Fresh Hell Awaits...!

Another short film by Wes Sterrs...Still in production, but coming soon...to a computer screen near you!

Wes, Writer/Director/Cinematographer/Deer in the Headlight

Mariah, Wes, & The Clacker...It's the little details!

It's getting creepy. And they haven't left our house to go shoot yet!

Mariah begins Sam's makeup

Sam, Mariah, & shenanigans from the director

OK, officially creepy!

Now on location, Mariah morphs Pender

Wes really sinks his teeth into this movie...

Cast & Crew...Woody, Mariah, Wes, and poor, poor Pender

Mariah, makeup artist/actress/bestest, best girlfriend to Wes

They make the cutest couple!

Yikes, I hope this isn't a spoiler...Woody commands The Ramen!

Ha! Pender checks the fine print in his contract script.

Awesomeness! Is anybody getting the whole momma pride thing here?

Oscar headline reads, "Headless Director Takes Best Picture"

Ok, so nutritional value isn't a high priority after hours & hours of hair, makeup, and filming. Amazing job Wes, Mariah, Pender & Sam!
