Slurping Life

SOOC Saturday ~ Excuse Me, Seedless?!

My SOOC Saturday photo circa 2008...

What Southern boy buys a watermelon with no seeds? Huh?

Where is the fun in that?

What the heck are we suppose to spit for our watermelon seed spitting contest?

Tell me, please.

I'm Southern born and raised and every year of my life on July 4th I have spit watermelon seeds...until last year.

My husband bought a seedless watermelon.

The boys were livid.

Me, too.

We flogged him...lovingly.

I know those itty bitty white seeds are in there, but you can't spit those. You gotta have the big black seeds for spittin'.

Being an assertive Southern girl, this year I took charge of obtaining our Fourth of July watermelon. Yes I did.

Arriving home from market, I proudly placed our Fourth of July 2009 watermelon in the frig.

Yes! Thanks to me, we will spit seeds this year.

[so pleased with myself]

Then I saw it...

this image obviously not sooc

Have a safe, happy Independence Day

and

please share a SOOC [straight out of camera] image this weekend

that will help me forget the payback coming my way.

SOOC Saturday ~ A Boy Again

What is genius? - It is the power to be a boy again at will.
~~ James Matthew Barrie

The very moment I felt my heart would burst at the thought of

how quickly he is growing up...

I found him in the bouncy castle.

What SOOC photo thrills your heart this weekend?

SOOC Saturday,

but it's really a weekend sharing thing

which means Sunday sharing is as good as Saturday.

SOOC Saturday ~ Legos Before Breakfast

I walked upstairs to announce that breakfast was ready

and smiled at the sight of Legos before breakfast.

I embrace simple everyday moments,

and our family is hugging your words of hope.

Do share a favorite SOOC [straight out of camera] photo this weekend.

Saturday and Sunday sharing welcome.

Wishing you happy days.

SOOC Saturday ~ Missing the Creek

Missing our mountain home...

...the creek...the rubber boots...the dirty boy jeans...

...and the wilderness all around.

A SOOC photo from the archives because I have not had camera in hand this week.

Sometimes it happens.

SOOC Saturday

SOOC Saturday ~ Got Something to Say

After a late night run to the grocery store I plop into the driver's seat, look up and pause.

Yes, I have something to say. However...

...my thoughts are tripping over my words which are muddled amongst a blur of the day's happenings mixed with the confusion of what needed to be accomplished which still waits at home.

I pause a moment longer. And sigh. Then laugh out loud.

After snapping an image of the billboard message, I trust that my epoch of clarity will come at the appointed time...

...which is not now because the milk needs to get home and in the frig.

Please share a SOOC photo this weekend. Clearly, profound words are not required, and SOOC Saturday always allows Sunday link up. It's a relaxed sharing.

Apologies for not posting last Saturday...I was here.
