Uploading pictures is driving me crazy!

I am having trouble figuring out how to upload pictures so this is a trial run.

Favorite birthday shot

So proud to do it herself!

 

Because Karen still looks at this

Some semi recent shots of us!

Samantha, Nick and Ian last summer at the ocean

Nevy at Lake Loramie playing with the shopping cart we originally bought for Aunt Kate 35+ years ago!




Pumpkin patch baby

I love my garden

This is most certainly when it looks its best and I am one proud gardener! (Don't look at it in September, okay?)

Get-together

Members of Dekalb High School Class of '68

I discovered that if I didn't like them back then, I still really don't want to spend time with them. But the ones I liked back then are still as good as gold!

A break from the "Now and Then" series....

...to put in a plug for The Heartland Spa! This was my 4th visit and I enjoyed every minute at the Heartland. I love spending time with Karen plus this is a beautiful place with great food, interesting classes and discussions, and lovely people. I highly recommend it.

(This isn't me...it's Kim, the fitness director and one of the lovely people.)

The more he changes, the more he stays the same

The same interest, the same focus and concentration

Happy Birthday sweet Nevy

Happy to share....

This school year has to end!

It is killing me! 4 more days but days filled with 40 days worth of activities.

This picture has nothing to do with that. It's just a random shot of some of my 2nd graders exploring the relationship between circumference and diameter with string. We used the string to measure circles around the school and then they discovered pi...or as they called it "3 and a touch more".

School view

Not the greatest photo...taken with my phone from my car window...but you can see one of the reasons why I like my drive to school in the morning. Sunrise is not overrated.

Together again

We were a team that would try anything! Good to see you, Kit!

Last year's irises

Because for some reason this year's are a strange dwarfish-headed bunch.

Off to Target...

...with my two girlies!

Arty?

I played around with the brightness and color settings on this picture. I think it looks quite artistic.
