Greetings from the Backyard

I took so many pictures this weekend, but for some strange reason I chose this one to post.

My Other Nephew

This is my friends' little boy. He's fifteen months old and crazy smart and cute. When he says my name, he says it with such delight, it melts my heart - every time.

Grandma & Her Boyfriend


Grandma and her boyfriend, Robert, go dancing twice a week. Last night they were dressed up extra spiffy.

I am always telling Grandma stories at school. A common response to the stories is, "I need to meet your Grandma!".

The New Guy

My parents have taken in a stray puppy. Since I've been home this weekend, he's pooped in my room twice. I only stepped in it once.

Challenge starts tomorrow!


July 2013 - Driving to Otavalo from Quito, our guide pulled over for us to stretch our legs and use the restroom. While walking around I peered over a stone wall and beheld this amazing view. The mountain has a name and a legend which I have forgotten both. But, at this stop they had nice bathrooms and a little store where I bought a slice of orange cake. I remember the orange cake!

Alright, I started this blog back when I worked at Halliburton and was bored. My posts started dwindling when I started art school. I am still in school, and I often reference my blog searching for inspiration for art projects. As I scroll through my pictures, a funny thing happens. I start recalling everything that was going on in my life when I took the photos.

Because this blog is a journal of sorts, because it is a convenient location to organize my favorite pictures...and because I am a little into myself, I think I will challenge myself to post regularly again.

The challenge - to post one picture a week for a year. The picture has to have been taken that same week, and it has to be "blog worthy". I might every now and then share an extra throwback photo...if I get bored.
