Roxy

I ♥ Faces photo challenge this week is Pets. Here’s my vizsla, Roxy. She is the baby of the family and the sweetest little thing. Her big brothers, Blake the Vizsla, and Beau the lab, watch out for her, but mostly she plays “mama” to them. She is now almost a 1 year old, and a terrific hunter.

Thankfulness

Today I am reminiscing. I am grateful everyday, but today I look with warmth at how much I have to be thankful for. It is so easy to take things for granted. I wake everyday with a family, friends, a job, a home, food on the table, and much, much more.

Tomorrow we visit Mexico. Again, I will be reminded about how much I have to be thankful for.

I wish love and health and happiness to all. Happy Thanksgiving!

My Light

She is my sun. She is my moon. She is my stars.

She shines.

Happy 6th Birthday Miss Rae.

Here she is at age 1. Taking our breath away.

Autumn Beauty

This is my I Heart Faces entry for this week. If you know me, then you know I love Autumn. If you know my kids, then you know they love leaves. If you know where I live, I am blessed with many Ponderosa Pines, but no trees with ample leaves. The wind blows all the time, so any leaves we get blow away promptly. So this photo of my son was taken at Grandma’s. She has lots of trees and lots of leaves and little wind. Heaven on Earth for the kids. As a small gesture of love this year, we bagged up some of those leaves and hauled them home. They stuck around a day or two, then were gone with the wind.

Make sure you visit I Heart Faces to see some of the other entries for Autumn Beauty!

Central Park…

…In Fall

I always have loved the song – thanks to Ferris Bueller. And I have always wanted to see Central Park in person. Lucky me, I got to see it in Fall with one of my favorite people, my sister.

I ♥ Halloween

My Pirate and my Pink T-Rex. Of course, the photo is black and white, but her ensemble is pink. I made the T-Rex head myself with cardboard and various sticky things and painted it. I ♥ Halloween.

Birthday Wishes

“Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” ~ Franz Kafka

Wishing my beautiful sister a very special birthday today. She has talent, beyond belief, of capturing beauty at a single moment in time, picture by picture. Happy Birthday – I love you!

So Excited!

I can’t get enough of the blog I ♥ Faces. This week’s contest is a picture showing excitement. My entry is my daughter, again. She has always exuded excitement in everything she does. This shot was taken years ago when her brother was dragging her around in a sled.
