A Face Only A Mother Could Love!!!

I know I'm not the most handsome dude on the block, but you can ask my mom and she'll tell you, I'm loyal to the core and faithful to the end....

Growing Up and Growing Old...

Well, he finally graduated...

...Shallen,that is.   It was great to see him graduate with high honors and receive his partial scholarship to the U of A!

It was also great to have some of my family here at different times to help us celebrate.  It's hard to believe I'm old enough to have a college age kid.  I wish you the best, Shal!!!!  

Help!!!!! I'm so far behind!!!!

I said when I got my new phone that I would blog more.  Well, it's been two months and I still haven't done it. I think that I'm just undisciplined, pure and simple!!!!  So here goes....

There have been many random Selfies taken by a myriad of Selfs!!!!

Strange, these Selfies, or maybe it's the Selfs taking the picture.  Anyway, as you can see, we are alive and well.

More updates to come!!!

Her Point of View

I never cease to be amazed...

at my daughter's way of viewing things.

I mean, she has never had a photography lesson in her life...

yet, her angle, or view of things is so different from how I naturally view things.

Things, Creatures, Scenes...I view them everyday, enjoy them, and move on,

but when she stops time with a still frame, it suddenly becomes art...

and natural ability to make the ordinary something more.

There's humor...

hunger...

quirky...

...but to capture this Titmouse, whom I've see hundreds of times, with this seed so perfectly poised in its mouth,  to me that's just amazing.

Looking forward to more beauty and fun, Kyri!

Spider Lamp!!! Huh?

A long time ago...

...back when Shawn and I used to look like this.  I worked for a very special lady named...

Glenna Haney.  She was like my mom away from home.  She often had me dust a monstrous lamp.  She grumbled about it's out of controlled limbs, etc.  All this to say, this year I had floor lamps on my Christmas list.   You guessed it,  Shawn instructed me to close my eyes and this is what I opened them to... 

...a spider lamp!!! ARRRRRR.....  No, it's staying, Shawn loves it and I will adjust, I promise.  Though I might be like Mrs. Haney and grumble about it's unwieldy limbs!

Happy New Year!!!
