Our youngest daughter is having an overnight with her older sisters. Movies, computer games, junk food, soda…should be lots of fun! And fudge. DH made some for them. Did you notice the lamp? DD found it at the Salvation Army store for $4. 🙂 We also found a nice recliner for their living room. They […]
Taking pictures of the bridge helps me not think about crossing the bridge. I guess I was too young when I read a Reader’s Digest article about a bridge falling into a river, taking cars with it…left a negative impression on me that lingers to this day…but this looks like a strong bridge, doesn’t it??

This week’s Macro Mondays theme is “childish.” Here are my submissions. Glitter glue…sticky, messy fun. Love to mom. This (and one for dad) hangs on the fridge.

There may be. I was four years old when my great-great-grandmother Jane passed away. But here are five generations on my mother’s side, via […]

Dad’s and Mom’s high school graduation pictures. My parents nine months before they were married. I think they were on their way to […]
Here are my submissions to this week’s flickr group Macro Mondays. The theme is “transparency.” The group allows five submissions each Monday. I took this picture while waiting for DD at riding lessons. We have a small box full of old negatives from DH’s family. This one caught my eye. It was probably taken in […]
