I love seeing my mother-in-law Patsy & her "man friend" Pat together. They are so cute & it's obvious how much they enjoy each others company. So happy that they found each other.

Day 149-"Between Sips"
I sat with my grandmother Moore this morning & we shared a pot of coffee. She is 90 years old now. It's so sad to see how cruel time can be to our earthly bodies. We laughed as she shared stories of her past. She was giving me the history of her old house that I will soon be living in & running a photography studio out of. Before she lived there the queen of the house was her Aunt Mag. Aunt Mag could have given my spunky little self a run for it's money any day of the week. She secured & buried 4 different husbands in her lifetime. Mag's family didn't care much for her 4th husband & paid him to leave her. He moved away & then they decided he wasn't so bad after all & went & found him & paid him to come back. L the frig out Loud! That's the stuff movies are made of my friends:) My grandmother sighed & with a far off look in her eye said "yes, Mag sure did love the fellas". Gone are the days when my grandmother could go out to dinner with us or out to Ham Days or to church. It's only a matter of time until we have to say goodbye to her in this lifetime. Her shaky little hands tell me that I must cherish every cup of coffee I'm given with her. Soaking up every precious memory she shares between sips.
Day 148-"Country Mail"
This is a photo of my parent's mailbox. Bless it! Living in the country you have this special breed of Ya Whos that get pleasure from brutalizing your mailbox. I think my parents just decided to give up. I on the other hand can't wait to move home & inflict punishment on the first little mutha that messes with my mail. I don't have a 1/2 dozen video cameras for nothing. Bring it you little vandals;)
Day 147-"I heart all Brownies"
My cousin Joan gave me her first camera today at lunch. Isn't it just the cutest??? I never was one to say no to a Brownie:) I love 'em all!
Day 146-"A Rose by none other..."
A Rose by none other than my lover:) My hubby knows his way around a garden, He would have made a good Adam. Come to think of it I wouldn't have made a bad Eve either. God knows I've conversed with my fair share of snakes in my time.
Day 145-"Airplane Cookies"
So tonight was the season finale of Biggest Loser. To celebrate, I bought & pretty much consumed a whole sleeve of "airplane cookies". I call them airplane cookies because the always serve them on flights. The give you like 2 measly little squares though. Really, Like what is that? Feels like communion to me. This photo was taken with my iphone. Not the best quality, but hey, they can't all be SLR days. 
Day 144-"More Goodbyes"
Today we said our goodbyes to the last of my grandfather's sisters, Mildred. She was 90 years old. I took this photo with my camera during the service held inside the mausoleum at Lexington Cemetery. She will be missed very much.
Day 143-"Sixteen"
Remembering how much fun it was to be sixteen:)
Day 142-"Amanda & Daniel"
I had so much fun shooting an engagement session for this sweet couple Amanda and Daniel:)
Day 141-"The Road Home"
I snapped this photo standing up out of my sunroof. It's a shot of the road leading to my childhood home. Soon I will be moving back to live on this very same road:) I'm so excited to get to be close to my family every single day. The image reminds me a lot of life in general. The road you travel can be smooth one minute & then without notice you hit a rough patch. The pot holes in life sure aren't fun to surprisingly hit, but if you just keep yourself going, you'll find yourself once again traveling a freshly smoothed path. Just keep your eye on the prize:)
