Guess Who Else Has OCD? or... Rednecks Also Come From Phoenix

The cousin bloggers have had a few universal topics on our minds the past few days. First, I have hard evidence that the OCD is genetic. Unfortunately, said evidence comes from the mouth of my own sweet Kate. "Mommy, use this hand sanitizer. It kills 90 percent germs." The legacy continues.
On the topic of redneck behaviors: THIS is my outside garden hose.
For the record, this is newly installed and was put there to "fix" the old one. Bruce is going to kill me when he reads this, but I guess you don't have to be Morgan born and bred to be a redneck. He will assert, of course, that he was NEVER a red neck until he moved here.

This is the wedding bouquet I did this weekend. It was tiger lilies, salmon and green roses, black feathers, and pearls. Sounds crazy! But I think it turned out pretty, and the bride said it was exactly what she had in mind. I don't know if it is my taste, but it was fun to do wedding flowers that weren't hot pink gerber daisies. Nothing against the daisies, it's just that my portfolio is full of almost identical bouquets, so having a little variety was fun. The bouts were very cool though- salmon colored roses with two skinny black feathers coming out of the center.

Merrilee and I took the girls to visit Grandma Go-go this weekend. Kate was so excited to see her, and actually smiled for a couple of pictures!


We are growing out Kate's bangs, so no judgement please about my shaggy looking kid.

Uncle Bill was on Grandma's "s" list, because he had taken a picture of Grandma with wet hair on her new phone and turned it into her wallpaper. Grandma was furious because she couldn't even get to a menu so that she could delete the picture, and every time she opened her phone, there was the wet hair pic. Kate and I saved the day by erasing the wet hair picture and replacing it with one of her and Go-go. Sorry Bill, to foil your plans. It was a fun afternoon and even Maggie was moderately well behaved.

Bruce comes home in just a few hours. We are all excited. Kate has been asking for days if it was Sunday yet. It will be nice having him back home again.

Thanks for taking such good care of Mom. That's all she needs, is a visit from her grandkids. She loves it! I loved your faucet fixture. If Big Lar gets down that way, I'll send him over. Of course, if Jack sees it, he will probably have it fixed really fast!

Well at least someone will carry on the Wild Bill legacy.

Looove the flowers, and loooove Kate's bangs. For real. She's the cutest.

Isn't an "OCD redneck" an oxymoron? Oh well as long as we're all the same I figure it doesn't matter.

I always thought that Kate looked pretty Hatch, but seeing that picture next to Grandma makes me reconsider. They kind of look alike. We intend to earn our keep when we visit, so make a secret list for Wes (a non-Hatch) for him to fix. Don't be sensitive Bruce; it's not your fault. You come by it honestly:)

Just for the record, the tape was to keep the bugs out until I could fix it permanently with an old sock and Silly Puddy! I put the K in Kuality.

Kurt's Dad put the front door together with gum. Every time the door nob would fall off...he add another piece of gum. This was virtually unknown until Kurt's Mom bought a new door nob and asked Kurt to install it. Then the secret 10 year gum collection was revealed!
