One year ago today our furry little monster was born in Beaumont, Alberta. Chris & I were visiting my mother in Yorkshire at the time but we managed to keep in touch with our breeder back in Alberta for regular updates on Teddy’s progress. U…
Time here sure seems to fly by and it’s hard to believe I have not posted here in a week. This Clematis joined my plant family last year, found at Lowe’s for 50 cents. Planted it in a big pot and it promptly died. This year it is going…
I’ve been doing pioneering stuff. Really strange things. When I wrote “Ten Ways To Cheer Up Your Life” one suggestion was:
GROW. Plant seeds. Growing things is not rocket science. Buy a pack of flower or herbal seeds. Follow t…
Guess what, she’s another talented Vanstone. Elizabeth may not be a Vanstone by birth but we got her fair and square in an off season trade a few years ago.In April of 2007 she officially became one of us. She … Continue reading →
On the day of the session we got up at 4 am to get to the location on time and be ready by sunrise.
It was like having our own private beach, no one got up as early as we did on that day!
The girls had fun and I got the images I wanted.
May in Indiana means only one thing …… Indy 500 time! The track springs to life early in the month with ceremonies and special events all building up to the 500 mile race on Memorial Day week end. I am a huge fan of the 500 and have attended the ra…
I’ll admit I was getting frustrated. I had been trying to find the final resting place of more of the ancestors but wasn’t getting anywhere. I finally went to see if I could see how many cemeteries there were in Surry County where I knew they …
Howdee all, Our last night in Ohio we were invited for cocktails and dinner at friends Hugh and Judy’s home. Hugh and Judy have a lovely garden and pond. I thought my Sickstas would enjoy these photos and maybe Craigy might get a few ideas on how t…
I had a busy day today. I’ve procrastinated washing Phaeton Place for the last week or so but can’t put it off any longer. Green Ace Park only allows washing of RVs until May 17th each year. I was going to leave the wash job until Chr…
We arrived in Gettysburg, Pa and checked into Artillery Ridge Campground Resort. I don’t want to go on about the Campground so just go on over to read my review ~ click the campground name. I would not come back to this park!! I…
It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues. There are two fairly new Wa-Marts within about 20 miles of each other. One is in Woodland and the other is in Longview. We noticed “No Over…
Isn’t this mural cute? It’s at the entrance to the little town of McCormick, we passed through it on one of our driving days. 
While in South Carolina, we heard about a nearby animalshelter in Georgia that was looking for some volunteers….
I’ve got the blues.
I am so homesick for the Caribbean. I need to adjust better to being an outsider lost in America. Never in my wildest dreams would I believe that I would feel like such a clueless foreigner in the very country I was born…
Howdee all, Jeff and I had a wonderful ten days birding and socializing at The Biggest Week in American Birding Because internet was very spotty with our mifi device I was not able to blog at the end of the day. In all honesty..I was too darn tired …
While exploring Beaufort, we found this national cemetery. So many from the Civil War buried here.Later in the day, we heard about something that we knewwe couldn’t pass up on seeing-The Kazoo Factory!It’s a gift shop, a factory, and a museum all in on…
I just wanted to wish all the Mothers out there a Happy Mothers Day! Rudee and I went to Plainfield Thursday afternoon and took her Mom out for an early supper to celebrate. We wanted her Dad to go as well but at 85 years old he is content to just stay…
A worthwhile stop in its own right, the Caverns of Sonora is also perfectly situated to break up the long drive through West Texas. A small campground with water and electric right at the cave makes it especially convenient for those of us with RVs or tents. We had originally planned to go on the [...]
We’ll be leaving this area very soon and I wanted to do a photo session with the girls before we left.
I got the clothes ready.
I purchased some fresh flowers.
And did the session.
I’ll show you images from the session on my next post!
This is the last time I am going to post this paragraph! Just in case you haven’t seen it already. Clicking on the linked bridge names will take you to Bridgehunter.com with historical information about each bridge, location maps and photos. …
