I'm having troubles...

I can't seem to "see" anything on Blogger at all. Is it just me?

Hugs,
Melinda

********************************************
[update] WOOHOO! And I'm BACK! I can see my blog now. :D And for those who want to know, I could log in, I could post, but I couldn't view anything with a blogspot.com address. Apparently, I can now. :D Very happy now. :D

Hugs,
Melinda

I won?

I won! I won a bubble bath from Diane. This is going to be so cool! I also won a recipe collection from Parker, and a preschool activity bags book from Dena. Thank you everyone for playing!

Oh this is rich.

I don't know how many other girls played "MASH" when they were growing up. I know I did. If so, you will LOVE the online version of it. I'm only going to do it the one time, because it said I would marry Dale. Since that's perfect...... ;)

Hugs,
Melinda

For my little sister

Snakes,

and butterflies,

Giveaway

Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer is hosting a blogging giveaway carnival. I decided to join in the fun. At first, I couldn't decide if I wanted to give away some books, or something quilty or just what to do.... I finally decided to go the easy route.

I am giving to the winner of my drawing a $10 gift card to Maggie Moo's.

I guess I should post some rules... yucky things....

1. Enter only once.

2. Obviously, you should have a Maggie Moo's close to where you live, so this drawing is open only to US residents. (Sorry.)

3. I'll draw a winner on Friday July 27th.

4. Make sure I know how to get ahold of you, either with an e-mail or a web page. Hmm.... I think that's all.

5. *Edited to Add* Just for fun, tell me your favorite ice cream flavor. :p

Hugs,

Melinda

An evening walk, or.....

Why it takes 30+ minutes to go what is normally a 5 minute walk....

Hugs,

Melinda

Josh Groban

I love this song. It's one of my favorites of all time. And Josh Groban is one of my favorite artists.

AHA! I found it!

Just so you know, I found it! I found my pictures! :D

Fireworks Photos

I decided that it was time to put up some of our July 4th pictures. We were in Louisiana, and we were going to go to the Riverwalk for the "big" fireworks show, but it was rainy and we didn't feel good. So... we did "little" fireworks and sparklers. (FYI - If you ever get a chance to shoot one called "Cajun Crawfish," you need to. It's absolutely COOL!)

Th first three are Sweet Pea with a sparkler.

I like the "ghostly" effect in this picture.
Then Dale decided to go pyro on me, and do two sparklers at once. (Teodo, pyro is short for pyromaniac, or someone who likes fire.)
Sometimes, I wonder if Dale takes better pictures than me. But this is my turn with a sparkler.
Little Bit was a bit nervous with the sounds. So I got to hold her. This shot was interesting because I caught my mother in law and Sweet Pea in the background, watching the show.

More shots of Dale and I with sparklers.


One of our fountains. I think this was "killer bees."
This is probably one of the best sparkler pictures of Sweet Pea.

Little Bit got a sparkler too.
She thought it was cool until right after this picture. It sparked on her, and didn't like it so much then.
Another picture of Sweet Pea.
And one more picture of a "fountain."

And that's it. We had a good vacation. I love visiting our family. We always have way too much to eat, and lots of fun. I hope everyone else had a good holiday.

Hugs, Melinda

Name change

I've never really liked the title of my blog. I originally picked "Melinda's Spot" because I wanted a place that was all my own.

But I have almost always signed EVERYTHING on the internet as "Hugs, Melinda." This therefore, is the new name of my blog.

What do you think? Is it me? :D

Hugs,
Melinda

I've lost it.

I've either lost my pictures or I've lost my mind. If you find either, will you please send them to me?
