    Taking a break from This Writer’s Journey today to share a little chuckle….

    I got these from my mother in law. There were more of them, but I just picked a few…

    Here’s how it works (I’m giving you this first one as an example)

  • Holy Moons…


    Most of you know I get up pretty early each day to either bike or run or head out to the gym. I live in the desert, so, over the summer you just have to otherwise it gets too blasted hot to step outside let alone workout.

    Anyway, one morning on my way to the gym at about 4:45am I saw this:

    I made my sweet hubby stop so I could take a picture of this moon.

    Holy COW!

    The picture doesn’t really do it justice, although the iPhone did an okay job. It was just amazing. So, I had to share it with you all.

    Have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. See you Monday!

  • Weekend time…


    Just had to share this sunrise I got to witness while out biking one morning…..

    Hope you have a great weekend and take some time to watch a sunrise or sunset with someone special.

  • Happy Weekend


    Here’s a fantastic picture from Lake Pleasant. I took this one last weekend. I can just never get enough of watching the sun rise. We got there especially early this past weekend, so I got to see the very beginnings of it.

  • Lost Pictures


    You might have heard, if you’ve been following my Facebook or blog for any time at all, I went on a trip to England and France early in the month.

    We had a great time, all except for two things.

    1. I got a cold (grrr!)

    2. My camera broke midway through the trip. (grrr, yet again!)

    I dropped my camera right outside this store...broken!

    Luckily, my sister had a camera that was compatible with my stuff, so I got to use hers the rest of the trip.

    Funny thing is, when I got back to America and checked into getting my camera fixed…it was cheaper to buy a new one.

    So, this past weekend I went out and got a new camera.

    You know what was fun about that? Well–besides getting a new camera?

    It was the “lost pictures” of the trip I found.

    I inserted the memory card of my broken camera into the new one and viola, pictures I’d taken before it broke!

    They brought a smile to my face. Especially this one:

    Paris Rose.

    Me and my sweet hubby were at the Eiffel Tower and a guy handing out roses approached.My sweet hubby bought me a rose! I’m not much of a flower person, you can even ask him, but I tell ya, this one meant a ton to me.

    We’re in Paris. We’re eating ice cream, looking up at the Eiffel Tower, and he gets me a rose. Probably the most expensive single rose we’ve ever bought, but the memory will be forever engrained in my mind.

    So romantic.

    I had to take a picture, which now that I see it, looks horribly un-romantic with the phone and paper and pen around it.

    Not to mention the Coca-Light bottle it’s in.

    But still.

    ~~~

    These next pictures were fun too:

    Had to take a picture of GUCCI....
    We spent a day strolling the Champs Elysees, people watching and sitting on sidewalk cafes.

    Beautiful picture of the Arc de Triumph

    ~~~

    Sure was fun to see these pictures after the fact like this.

    But, Oh, I did have to take a picture on the new camera.

    Check it out:

    My dog, Maddux, was the first picture on my new camera. He makes a great model, huh?

    ~~~

    So now I’m ready to go on another adventure with my new camera. I never know when a chance to make a memory might creep up on me, and I always like to have my camera handy so I can document it.
