The Most Amazing Day

I headed back home for a couple of days to rest and regroup. I met up with some past High School friends and spent time with my beautiful granddaughters. But the time the stands out the most is the day I spent with my BFF (Best Friend Forever). We had no definite plans. I picked her up at 10:30ish and the day began. We headed out of town to play...... with cameras in hand. We ended up just 25 miles north in a larger town so we could relax and not worry if anyone knew us. We spent the next 6 hours completing a photo scavenger hunt for an online class that neither of us signed up for, but it got us some amazing pictures of people we didn't even know. It's amazing how people are so willing to allow their picture to be taken. The photo above is of my best friend posing when we needed a shot of a person in an eye patch....yep, in Wal-mart at the medical section! She is so brave!! All I can say is, Captain Morgan be on the lookout for your replacement!!

What lead to the Empty Nest

My spring was just the most amazing time watching my robin eggs go from blue gems to this....real and at times ugly and then to actual birds with feathers. The process was beyond miraculous...watching each step unfold before my eyes can't be put into words....but the afternoon that I opened the door and watched them all fly off my balcony left me dumb-founded and I cried. I'm glad they made it out alright but it was lonely the first few weeks without them.....but I've adjusted....now I have a birdfeeder near the place the nest use to be and now I get to see birds, lots of birds each day approach my balcony for dinner....and it's still amazing.

Because of an Angel

Here I sit at Panara Bread, alone and finished reading my best friends blog and cried. Her pictures stirred something in me that I can't even put into words. She has started a project of posting a picture a day for 365 days.....and it is the most amazing blog EVER!! I love nothing more than to write and using my camera. I think I will set myself a goal and try and at least post one picture a week for 52 weeks....that's doable and I get to do two of my most favorite things....write and take pictures. So hang on, here goes.....

Easter Morning

What a wonderful Easter surprise. When I thought the last egg had been laid on Saturday, Easter morning there were four. I couldn't have been any more surprised to find my Easter basket full of new blue eggs. This will be an Easter I won't forget for a long time.

My Easter Egg

God is just so faithful....when life seems to come in fast and hard, he sends just little reminders of what is really important and how much time I waste of non-important things.....This morning was one of those times. Good Friday and I check my nest and God hand delivered my very own Easter Egg. I am so thankful that He never forgets me or stops caring about me....He is my everything. Thank you God for sending your Son to take my place on that cross so long ago....for that I am eternally thankful.

The New Neighbors

I can't wait for them to move in!! I watch the nest so closely and I enjoy watching "the Mrs." work so hard...as soon as I can I will post more pictures of the new "family"!!

My Lunch

This is possibly becoming one of my favorite places to sit and eat lunch alone....I'm OK with eating alone as long as I have a book to read so others won't think "poor girl, has no friends".....but today along with my book on how to work my camera I actually had my camera with me....This was lunch today....broccoli and cheese soup in a bread bowl, an apple and diet pop....it was fantastic!
