please tell me....

that you're not tired of my jumping photos

~because i could do this all day long~

these two sweeties

are

from tallahassee

and

so is this group

~i think they are all students~

if you've ever been to seaside

then i know you've shopped here

at

per-spi-cas-sity

~

they closed for a tiny bit after the holidays and this past week they were back to work setting up the most incredible vignettes

~

so

sophie and i strolled through the market everyday

watching and drooling

{me not her, over the new clothes}

and

quickly made friends with managers

ann and morgan

who

wanted to jump for me

when they found out that that's what i do

~they are too sweet~

these two unsuspecting beach walkers

from ft. walton beach

or shoot

was it panama city

were more than willing to set down their beers and jump for me

~guys are so easy~

this is judy and her grand-daughter. we met judy the first day we walked into town and since she spends the winters in seaside, we've been lucky enough to talk to her almost everyday.

she really wanted to jump for one of my jumping photos, but i told her that i just couldn't take the chance that she might fall or twist an ankle. now granted, she rides her bike everyday and is amazingly young for her 70 plus years. but sometimes i just have to draw the line.

whatever her grand-daughter eats for breakfast, though. well, i want some of that.

wow. can this girl jump.

and

of course we had to throw in a few cartwheels

too

this family is from henderson, kentucky. which is just barely a breath away from where we lived in newburgh {evansville} indiana for 8 years. so we had lots to talk about.

at first

the little guys weren't so sure that jumping was what they wanted to do.

~actually i'm not really so sure dad wanted to jump either~

but

when mom said "come on, let's do it" they all joined in on the fun

aren't they the cutest

~

and

believe or not

it's the younger kids

already close to the ground

that have the hardest time jumping

so you can imagine how happy i was

to see the "air" they were able to get

{and to see the seagull in the upper left corner}

~

thanks to all my jumpers. you make me smile until my cheeks my hurt.

and guess what. i have more. see. i told you i could do this all day.

the rest of the photos will be up a bit later in the week.

~

ps...the packers are going to the super bowl. it's good to be a cheesehead.

AND

this information below, from kate is so helpful, that i might be publishing it a few times, as i really want to respond to you when you leave me a comment. but i can't and i don't want you to think i'm ignoring you. because i'm not. honest. you just have to change something.

~

here's the information

thanks kate

Bloggers out there ~ you’ve seen it. It’s the ‘Noreply-Comment@Blogger.com’ message that appears sometimes after you click on reply to a reader’s comment.

I often respond directly to reader’s comments, but there’s that little grinch who always seems to show up like an unwanted guest when I have something I really want to say to someone.

There is a way to help rid this little problem and it’s so easy to do. Readers who have blogs can do the following:

• Open your blog and click on the Customize link. It’s in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
• Click on the Dashboard link, also in the upper right hand corner.
• Now click on Edit Profile, on the left hand size of the screen right next to your picture.
• This takes you to the Edit User Profile screen.
• Look in the Privacy section.
• Check the box that says, “Show my e-mail address”.
• In the Identity section, enter in an e-mail address.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on Save Profile.

And that’s how it’s done. This will rid the world of Noreply-Comment@Blogger.com. Unless you wish to remain stealth, of course. And that I will understand.
