Website Look

I often wonder what the best look is for my site. I have fewer and fewer photos to share as my camera is still in the possession of the New York State Police. I am hoping that it will be returned before my California trip in January, but if not, I will manage without it.… Continue reading Website Look

Fall Gone

Today would have been my mother’s 74th birthday. When she turned 70, we had a huge birthday party for her in the desert. My stepdad took 9 women to dinner with him and the waiter – always looking for a good tip – wanted to know just how he managed to get such a harem… Continue reading Fall Gone

Asheville Half Marathon – Race Recap

It’s Wednesday. The race was Sunday. I feel like I am already behind on a recap but today is my last recovery day. Probably not totally necessary as I had barely trained for this race so why should I recover. In a complete opposite from last year, the weather preceding race day is not spectacular.… Continue reading Asheville Half Marathon – Race Recap

Books

I am way behind, like weeks, on the photo challenge I joined for this year and will get caught up eventually. Guilty pleasure is one of the weeks I missed and I will get up the photo of my book shelf. It’s not like there is only one in my home. I probably could wall… Continue reading Books

Hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway

If it had been a different season when I was in Asheville mid-March, I would have driven the Blue Ridge between the two cities… Continue reading Hiking and the Blue Ridge Parkway

Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay

Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay, a set on Flickr. Where, oh where, did I go? Absolutely nowhere. Not this past weekend but the weekend before was very busy. I was longing for a quiet week but that was not to happen due to the activities of the weekend. I photographed at mile 21… Continue reading Hambletonian Marathon & Good Time Trotters Relay

Parents, Take Heed!

I bounce around a lot here on the blog with topics but this one has been gnawing at me for some time. We – as in the parents out there – need to be better at knowing what are children – and that goes for those who are almost adults, too – are doing online… Continue reading Parents, Take Heed!

Summer Vacation

Okay, my summer did not involve any vacation unless you call trips to take kids to college and a trip for a wedding vacations. They are all just part of parenting. I did, though, think a great way to show you what my summer was like would be to post a slide show. Stay tuned,… Continue reading Summer Vacation

One Last Look at Myrtle Beach

Trips, for me, tend to be big photo opportunities.  I did not realize before heading south to Myrtle Beach that there had been a huge air base there for years.  As is the case with many municipalities that had former military bases, Myrtle Beach has put together a small park to honor those who once… Continue reading One Last Look at Myrtle Beach
