Day One Hundred Thirty

 

There was an event at Hayward as we dropped our daughter off at her dorm.

Ashton Eaton was there- I heard his name called for an event. I’ve met his mom…

See anything you like?

Our white Camry was feeling very honored (and a bit intimidated)

to be in the very presence of this lovely machine!

Yes, my watermark needs help.

Day 0ne Hundred Twenty Six

 

If I’m being honest, and I don’t want to be anything but, these next several posts are going to represent the days while running around, celebrating two birthdays, Mother’s Day, and the loss of my mom.

All were taken in the “time frame”, but some days I shot a lot and some days not at all.

That’s okay, because, when I took on this project, I told myself I’d do it my way and I’m not going to quit over a technicality, such as twenty-four hour slots.

I hope this won’t offend the sensibilities of those who are sticklers on this matter. My apologies…

 

I came home from work, and this was on the door.

He made it for Mother’s Day, but he “couldn’t wait”.

I love the things he wrote about me...

Some days hold the best surprises!

{Buddies}

These guys have been tight since they were four.

One is mine and one is in my Kids’ Club class.

Mine was having a bad day and Logan was there for him with a hug and a smile.

He’s the best kind of friend! : )

I’ll Be Back…

 

I haven’t quit…

My family and I have been making preparations for my Mom’s memorial service.

Please say a prayer for us Saturday…

 

I’m looking forward to posting soon!

Day One Hundred Twenty One

 

Have I mentioned that my middle daughter is a photographer? She is.

You should see her stuff. She’s thirteen. Her 365.

This was on my camera.

I hardly ever let her touch it. :).

Day One Hundred Twenty

 

These guys share a love of history. It’s a family thing, really.

He was totally into The Story of US on The History Channel, snuggling Dad.

This was one of those “moments” that make me smile and a little teary in the nose.

Love this family.

I’m working on getting myself into good shape

(I know, round IS a shape, but not the shape I most want to resemble)

These jeans are ones I hope to be wearing when Fall comes.

I think they’re fun. Anyway, I’ve just been thinking about it today… A lot.

Day One Hundred Sixteen

 

Kickball.. .

Day One Hundred Fifteen

 

After church and a fish taco from Carl’s Jr., Dad had to meet with some classmates to polish the details of a Sociology presentation which is to be given today (Go, Hon!)

We chose to stay on campus and enjoy the beauty of this Spring day.

Day One Hundred Fourteen

 

I’m having the best time with Windows Live Writer… Choosing my font and other things that I’ve missed using Blogger alone.

Let me play for a few days, then I’ll settle down.

Day One Hundred Twelve

 Chuck Taylors and a sunny day...





Day One Hundred Eleven

If you can believe THIS on April 21st!

More snow.
We broke out the bibs and boots and some of us trudged off to school...



Day One Hundred Ten

Pardon my hiccups...

Somehow, I think I lost a day,
but I don't have my stuff together enough at this point
to go find where I went wrong. 
Since this sort of mistake well defines where I am at this point in 2010,
I'll leave it and call it "meant to be".

Who knows what happened to day 109?
Maybe it's saving itself for later. I'm always wishing I had just one more...

But day 110 will be deemed,
"Bruno and the ribs"
He's such a good dog. He just looked.
(he also did some drooling and licked his chops)


Day One Hundred Eight

After a wonderful weekend with the family, the Monday blues have hit hard this week.
I have plans for shooting. I have the subjects and the desired finished product firmly in my artist's imagination...
but today, I'll have to settle for reruns.
I feel like a truck hit me- hard. I hope I'm not coming down with something.
Here are more from Eugene. Or, as I will call it today, "Where I wish I was."


The shadow on this was bugging me, but it's my guy. I still like it.



Presets are fun!



Is this legitimate bokeh?

In any case, I'm CRAVING people!
Enough landscapes and flowers for awhile...

Time to break out the smiles!
