Just As I Am

It's not really time for graduation is it? 

we have pulls...

I picked up the door pulls for my corner cabinet today...yipee....

...this feels good

Oooooooh it feels good to be back here and hear from  all of you....I've missed "talking"....don't have much to say today....Leah and I are off to see the Nancy Drew movie which totally reminds me of my older sister, Cindy, and my niece Hannah both at the same time, because they've read the series of older books..Cindy, as a young girl and now Hannah as a preteen. 
I thought I would post a photo that I am fond of that I took when my parents were here for a visit in May...
I'm a huge fan of backlit photos and really like the way this turned out.

It's hard to believe that just this month they have been married for 59 years!  I won't take time to write about them here, but if you want to see what they look like from the front and want to know what I think about them you can read this and this...

Okay....well I'm off to pick up the knobs I ordered for my corner cabinet that have FINALLY come in...

And to stop by the candy counter on my way into the movie to get a bag of popcorn....lunch...can't go to the movies without eating popcorn :)

just can't stay away....

I have always wondered what it would be like to go back to school, and the photography class I have taken for the last 12 weeks has given me a little taste of that.  I can tell you....I worked really hard...there is so much to learn...but the challenge was good for me.  I am now an official alumni..woohoo...and have access to a forum which includes all those "graduates" who have gone before me...quite an added bonus, I think. 

I really enjoyed the class, but it consumed most of my time...left little for blogging.  During that time I considered giving up blogging altogether, but it has become evident to me that it has become a part of my life and, like photography, I enjoy it.  So here I am again...

no promises for a daily post...just a place to write about what's happening in my home and my heart....

okay....so I heard this for the first time this week...had never heard it before....and it has come back to "visit" me several times this week...

something worth sharing

Thanks to those of you who have stopped by to offer kind words...you mean more to me than you'll ever know!
I am still finding it difficult to stay committed to this space right now, but I had to share this moving clip that I found when I opened my "mail" this morning....
prefaced with these words...

to the world you may be just one person ...

enjoy!!
