Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there! Here's my favorite Mandalorian clip from YouTube that really depicts the "father" in Mando. It always has me in tears. You have to watch it to the end to really feel it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVOnFdT207M
I started watching The Last Kingdom earlier this month with husband. A friend recommended it a couple weeks earlier but I had forgotten and then husband pulled it up on Netflix and we got into it. I'm so glad. This is one great series. I didn't know this until I started doing some research after... Continue Reading →

The leather of the Dr. Darcy and Austen are exactly... Continue Reading →

Created this for my About Me page. I often start these projects and then never finish. I'm just happy I'm able to get one done. The images were from Unsplash except the one of me. It was a self-timed image with the Nikon DSLR taken about five years ago.
I began writing "Dear" letters to my daughters in hardcover notebooks in 2011 on and off. Recently, I merged their notebooks into softcover Moleskin notebooks and put them in a large traveler's notebook to keep them in one place. I sometimes include photos or bits and pieces of things they've written and tossed, even drawings... Continue Reading →
Took the Olympus to the front yard. The setting was on Shutter Priority Mode. Minor editing were done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Columbine. Pine cone from the giant pine tree in the yard. The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
