Gone

My one-and-only big brother, Theodore Allen Steele Jr., left this life yesterday after a valiant struggle against huge odds. I love him dearly and he will be greatly missed by all who love him. Please hug your dear ones a little closer in his memory.

Tallulah-Palooza Friday


A little ditty, performed by Miss Tallulah Mae: "La-di-da-di-da..."
"Doodle-deedle-da..."

"Yaaawwwnn..."

The End.

My artichokes have been amazing...they're so delicious and so pretty!

Creepy or Cute?

You be the judge...

Fire-Breathing Ahead

I truly love this: not "Beware of Dragon," but "Be Aware of a Dragon." OK, I will, thank you!

Water Colors

Rainbows never cease to fascinate, do they?
Even the ones made by the sprinklers...

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

This is Tallulah Mae's sad face...this might mean "Please, m'am, may I have your Starbucks cup so that I may lick out the foamy dregs" or "Have you forsaken me? Isn't it way past time to go for a walk?" or (most likely) "FEED ME!!!" It usually works, too...she IS named after Tallulah Bankhead, after all! This oh-so-sad face gets results almost every time.

(She's also named after Mother Maybelle Carter, BTW--and while she's quite a singer, she hasn't yet learned how to do the Carter scratch technique on the guitar...but give her time.)
