My “baby” sister turned 39 this month….and probably will always be “39” from now on.  Or is it 29? Either way….she’s 11.5 years younger me — the brat. For her birthday, I took lots of pics of her kids in Shirts that my Baby Girl made.  I also took pic of her and her hubby … Read More

Hot Date

CheriGENERAL

Baby Girl wrote this on her Facebook wall last night: Danae has a hot date tonight! 🙂 Taken just before they left for dinner out – and mini golf. Daddy wasn‘t so sure about this outfit. Neither was someone else in Mike’s family. I say, “wear it while you can girl”! Wondering about those ice cream sandwiches? Wonder no more . . .  Conclusions: 1.  The recipe … Read More

My first memories of these were stone…possibly exposed aggregate…but I’m not sure.  They were in the town (village?) where my grandparents had their summer home.  We called their summer home “The Cottage”. The highlight of any “trip into town” was getting a drink from one of these on the street corner.  We referred to them … Read More

Finally got some help with this new lens I’m about to pay for…. and learned what I was doing wrong.  Let’s just say it was a humbling moment. I’m home alone tonight…without a car to go shopping, so I took a few minutes tonight to try the lens. and I love it! It’s a Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D can … Read More

Can I just say WOW?

Our wild one got a new look recently . . . When she sent me these photos taken Friday (March 6) today, I could hardly believe how grown up (and beautiful) she looks. I couldn’t resist playing around with some editing  . . . Note: these photos were taken with her point and shoot camera! … Read More

Borrowed images

CheriGENERAL

The other day I borrowed Danae and Nate’s camera memory cards to lift some photos from our ski weekend.  Of course there were many other photos on their camera’s too.  Looking at your kids’ photos is a good way to peek into their lives now and then….especially when you miss the control you had when … Read More
