Whenever I go on a trip, I think about all the homes
I’ve had & I remember how little has changed about
what comforts me.

she had her haircut by a pro for the very first time. (just comes a time when a trim from mom just won’t do any longer:) we also received a mail that she is invited to take an entrance exam to a pretty amazing private school nearby, she takes the exam next saturday morning. we are so proud of this girl of ours:)
her back:( it is causing her much pain these days (I suspect a growing spurt is the culprit for the recent pain she is feeling) we’ll see her ortho surgeon on tuesday, they will run an x-ray on her to see how her curves are doing. as you all know we are looking at a pretty serious spinal surgery sooner or later depending on what her spine does. trying to let her spine mature a bit more, so I’m hopeful she will still have more time. will keep you posted on any updates about that as I know some of you have been so kind and concerned enough to email me.
I’m not sure how this happened? and I certainly don’t feel deserving enough to be in the company I’m in wow! but somehow my little photoblog here was nominated for a lovely

and what a time it was, a time of innocence,
a time of confidences. Long ago, it must be,
I have a photograph Preserve your memories,
they’re all that’s left you.
-bookends – s & g
that little vintage tune seems to always run through my head whenever I work with the old photographs of my family, & I usually get a little misty eyed as well while doing this. in the end, memories really are all that’s left you.

today I am finally filling frames that have hung around my house empty for far too long… I am not sure I will complete this task today, but I’m giving it my best shot!
(me today holding my moms hs graduation photo) are you organized when it comes to photographs?

my latest accepted book cover art for a soon to be published / printed book:) to be able to use my photos and to create just the look they are looking for is to me a dream come true:) I’m working on creating a small gallery where those who are interested can view my work. still trying to get the hang of things around here on this blog, along with working on my sidebar (widgets don’t come easy for me!) have a great weekend:) x

a vintage red & white polka dot apron & & & & …
a fantastic vintage kodak duaflex II camera* oh another one to add to my old camera collection:) I love to shoot ttv and the viewfinder on this newest oldie is fantastic! if you’ve never shot through the viewfinder you might want to give it a go! so fun! I don’t ususally wear aprons, but this one just might need to stay here with me (though it was purchased for selling) have to keep adding to the trip fund with mom…that’s fun in itself! I realize here that I am not really doing this 100 photos project exactly right, but I guess sometimes sticking to rules with photos is sort of hard for me…. but… I’m trying! till next time then………. x
