Wow! Happy New Year and kick my butt! January is gone already. I swear if I didn’t take so many pictures to prove to me that January did, in fact, exist, I would swear that someone was tricking me. But I look back through my memory card and there’s the evidence. [...]

Another one bites the dust. Like David Copperfield did a magic trick, 2010 disappeared before my eyes. I called myself watching for the slight of hand, but by golly, I never saw it. . . again. It happened so fast – another year gone!

Because it’s November and the Fall colors are in full effect right now, and because it was only 70 degrees and sunny out, my oldest son and I went to a local park this past weekend to take some pictures. My boss’s wife is a professional photographer and she recently posted a picture taken [...]

Well, I had every intention of posting Part 2 the very next day, but I tell ya. . . last week was ONE busy week! Lots of exciting things going on. Some good and some really not so good.
My drug dealers/car thief neighbors are gone. FINALLY! They have been a source [...]

**I actually wrote this yesterday, but I was having so much trouble with my external hard drive and my memory card reader that I couldn’t actually publish anything. Anyway. . . .**
What a fabulous weekend!
First, I finally got some sleep. Folks, I had been running on virtually ZERO sleep for the [...]

This past weekend was . . . odd. After having a very welcomed uneventful week at work, I was strangely different over the weekend. The stress had somehow washed away and I was noticeably more peaceful and more relaxed. It’s just been so long since I was stress-free, I’d forgotten what it [...]
