~Just A Photo A Day For 365 Days~
We all have had that need to just get up and go for a weekend to grab some time away from everything. I did just that last weekend and having lived a large part of my life in the Bay it wasn't hard to be my own tour guide. Making it a part of the "heritage" trip,... Continue Reading →
The elegance of a sampler. All handmade. All beautifully crafted. This is my Great Great Great Grandmothers work. Done when she was a child. I did one too around her same age, and by coincidence, both are on burlap and both are unfinished. Til next time...
It is my father's birthday (RIP) and it is 9-11, a day to Never Forget, and I never will. Every September 11th since 2005 (the year I got my motorcycle license) I put on my Dad's watch and shirt, get on the bike and take a ride in his memory. So at the last minute,... Continue Reading →

The Daily Prompt word is Magnetic. As I do the family photographs for the new ancestry site, I came upon these two folks. Now, I have seen this photo before, I just don't know who they are yet. But I do think they had a pretty good chance of having that magnetic personality most of... Continue Reading →
Daily Prompt ~ Notorious~ Evidently, I have been known for being a tad notorious. Being notorious is kind of mysterious and I think a little snappy, so I will take it.
