This year has been flying by so incredibly fast.  Halloween is almost upon us, and I realized we hadn’t done anything for the holiday other than buying costumes.  We decided to take a much needed excursion to Lombardi Ranch and visit the Pumpkin Patch.  It was a  perfect way to spend a Fall Sunday morning!

Aloha!  (Love that Flickr always greets in a different language!  My daughter’s 3rd grade teacher does as well!) Today I decided to share a thought with you instead of photos.  It’s something that has been on my mind a lot lately.  The topic is “personal style.”  Thanks to Facebook, Flickr, WordPress, and the internet in […]

Well, we are in soccer season again.  This year we have bumped up a level.    It involves more practices, longer games, and hopefully the playoffs!!!   My  girl has decided that she is playing soccer from now on, which is fine by  me.  Maybe she’ll get a scholarship to help pay for college.  That […]

Hello to everyone! If you are a current subscriber to my old blog, you might be thinking “her husband’s headshots again?  Really?”  And that’s okay. 🙂  There is a point to my repetition.  One of husband’s hats is actor, so I’ve taken his headshots quite a few times.  Something always bothered me.  They didn’t quite […]

Hi all! My aim is to create a new post a couple of times a week. Today was going to be the day for the first photo post!! However, due to color issues when uploading, I have to postpone until I get this handled. I’ve never had that problem with uploading in the past. Not […]
