The end of summer is near. You can feel it in the air. This weekend we took Tuesday to Six Flags and she was tall enough to go on the log ride with us. I thought she would freak out and cry but she was laughing and smiling the entire time and after the 60 foot drop, she said "Again! again!". I was happy and freaked out all at the same time. Is my daughter going to be a brave soul who ventures off into the world with no fear? Is she going to take unnecessary chances? Is she going to be a risk taker to the point where it would be dangerous??? Oh the joy of parenthood!!!! I was just thinking the other day, (with all the flooding, heat, wildfires, global warming etc) that I was happy we were only having one child. I don't think I could take the thought of what is happening to our world and that I would worry until the day I die about my children and how they would survive. One is enough worry for me. I worry so much about her I can't sleep at night and she's not even a teenager!! Oy....i'm in trouble.

Here are some photos Steve took of our weekend:




This is a dummy I bought on Maxwell Street about 10 years ago that I once tried to throw away but woke up in the middle of the night to remove from the trash because I felt guilty and spooked.


This is one of my favorite "BIG EYES" painting that I had when I was growing up. I found it on EBAY and bought it again. The little girls seem so sad and haunting.


Summer 2007 period.


Steve going for some kind of look here.


We took Tuesday to the baseball field on Fullerton when it was dark and she was so excited. She played in the sand and ran around like a mad little girl. Here is a great shot Steve took.


Tuesday and me against the brick wall at the baseball field. I love her face in this photo! It cracks me up! My outfit is hilarious.
