H’s philosophy is that every day is Valentine’s Day at our home, and I have to agree.  In light of that sentiment, I thought a little extra heart and love on this gray and cold Monday would be appropriate.  These images are from our Santa Fe trip this past October.

Fashionable Family Friday: Waiting at the Station

This was Sister S’s birthday and we were visiting the miniature town of Safety Village in Tampa, Florida.  S and I (standing at far right) look like we’re ready to hop the train and travel the world, but Sister L (in her stroller) appears a bit apprehensive.

It’s the time of year when the grays of winter can overwhelm, so I thought I’d share a splash of Mother Nature’s bounty and color (photographed from my warm and cozy kitchen) to brighten the day.

It was such a gorgeous weekend that H and I visited not one but two nature centers.  These images are from my favorite, the Chattahoochee Nature Center.  While I explored, H enjoyed the warm sunshine.  (He likes to give me plenty of time to watch birds and snap photos.)

Fashionable Family Friday: Let’s Ride!

Check out those smiles.  We look bright, fresh and ready for adventure.  (That huge suitcase-of-a-purse looks like overkill for a day at the amusement park.  I hope it wasn’t mine.)

My baby sister turns fifty tomorrow.  We celebrated last weekend with a family gathering, dinner, surprises, and games.  We had a blast!

I love the play of light and shadows created by the sun’s rays creeping through the window shades.

There’s nothing better than hanging out with your cousin, eating popcorn, and watching a movie on a cozy winter afternoon.

After perusing the pictures I took at my nephew’s party, I’ve realized once again that there’s much beauty in the often overlooked details.

This weekend we celebrated my nephew’s eighteenth birthday at our home with a surprise dinner, games, and lots of laughter.  His mom was responsible for supplying the cake.  She’s a great cook, but this time around her efforts suffered from some technical difficulties.  Not to worry… it tasted great!
