Garth was a super sport today in modeling 20 newly created bow ties for me this morning in the really intense Florida sun. So I made him some peaches and cream, and then he took a little nap on our front porch, using my pumpkin as a pillow. This kid can sleep anywhere, [...]

Garth and I went to the fair this week with $37.75 in our pocket. We left with $1.25. Admission was free since it was the grand opening, and we didn’t shell out the $11 that it cost for the two of us to ride the ferris wheel once…so where did it all go?
Food. [...]

I’m not quite sure how this happened. I made some dough from my Mom’s famous scone recipe, made four scones for me and the hubby, and then put the rest of the dough in one of those silicone baking pans to make a loaf of bread. It rose to just about the top [...]

Saturday was the Correy Station Navy Birthday Ball. In true Laura fashion I spent the whole morning and the previous evening working on my dress. I couldn’t wear anything that I already had in the closet because I have no waist. So I cut up a Michelangelo wedding dress that I’d thrifted [...]

Yesterday Garth and I celebrated the first birthday of this institution called the marriage of elle & gee. It has been a fabulous year. We are grateful everyday for each other.

Garth got a bee stuck in his helmet on the way home from Alabama the other day. It’s certainly not the most exciting thing to happen in recent days, but it’s the only thing that I doodled about on my Sacrament meeting program.
I’m packing this morning for Spokane, WA. I’ll be visiting my family [...]

We both love sparklers and long exposure times. This was bound to happen sooner or later.

Totally worth the handful of bugbites that I got on my legs that night!

The dozen radical ties purchased for a quarter each (and the foam letters for cheapy cheap too!) today on the Pensacola Tour de Thrift.

The Saturday afternoon bicycle trip that ended up being a tour of the closest thrift shops, a reason to use Garth’s camelback, and a contest to see who could squeeze the most [...]

one week closer to being caught up!
There’s much going on  in the Laura and Garth Plouzek world right now.  Garth just got back from Scout Camp.  We’ve got a youth temple trip (to Birmingham!), girls camp, multi stake youth conference, and a visit to my family in Spokane, WA, to play in Hoopfest ‘08, all [...]
