Bad Splash! Bad Droplet!

Why on earth have we let this fall by the wayside? No more. Perhaps I shall babble today. 

First things first! Guess what I got today?? My new hat!! Just like my old hat! Yay! Who knew I'd feel so attached to a hat? Of course, as you know, I started wearing a hat because of your Grandma's skin cancer battle. If I'm going to be outside shooting photos, I need to protect my noggin, right? And of course I considered other styles, but I remember seeing this hat and it was JUST RIGHT. Then came the move two summers ago. This hat gave me spunk when I wasn't feeling particularly spunky. It gave me a place to hide when I decided to stop wearing make-up (mostly). It gave me a way to disguise my not so perfect hair. And on that last day of the move....when we broke down on the side of the road....again.....I could hide my tears from Steve when he came to rescue us. (Though I didn't succeed at that, truth be known.)

Then last summer....well...the hat was there for most all of last summer.  The tears. The tragedy. The hat was "homey" for lack of a better word.  Then! It was gone!!! I truly hope whoever found my original hat found it magical like me. And, as you know, I've tried to replace it. Stolen your hat, even...and no magic in these others. 

So last week I put into Amazon "cowgirl hat turquoise" since it had that turquoise doomahickey on it. Lo and behold....there it was.  I frantically pulled up all of my old photos where I was wearing it. And it MATCHED!! So I ordered. And it arrived today!!

Yay me!!!

On to other news! 

Gypsy has been weird today. Maybe she misses you! 

Been trying to think of food for the summer....just us chicks. Of course we will have to plan on the boys being home some weekends. 

I want chocolate! Like really bad..

Oh, yeah! I shot some prom-goers Saturday. In the middle of the shoot I was making small-talk and mentioned you.  They all went "ooooohhhhhhh yeah! Now we see the resemblance!" Lucky me to have such a beautiful "twin". 

The Royal Baby....named after your cousin Charlotte, cousin Elizabeth, and of course Ma!!

Ok...I hear thunder. Pulling up the radar. Yeah....better bring dogs in. You know how they are!!!

I'm out of wisdom and excitement tonight.
