We attended another year of the Knights of Columbus Halloween Party. The girls loved it. To accomplish the look of the above photos, I ran some actions on them. The actions were downloaded for free from dbox.tumblr.com.
During our stay in Vegas, we drove to Hoover Dam and took a tour of the powerplant. I've visited the Dam before in the couple of times I've been to Vegas (years ago) but I've never taken the tour (and I'm not sure why). It was pretty fascinating to learn the history and go underground... Continue Reading →
Photos of our road trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Hotel at Mandalay Bay. It was gorgeous, except for the headless statue near the self-park entrance. Kylie was scared of it so each time we passed it she would look the other direction or close her eyes while one of us held her... Continue Reading →

It was so breathtaking that my family went back last weekend to see the changing colors. It was more beautiful this... Continue Reading →
[Maple] Autumn is here and it is beginning to look nostalgically beautiful all around with the yellows, oranges, and reds in the trees and bushes. Pumpkin muffins and apple crisps are on my mind. 🙂 Here is a totally awesome song (music) with a bittersweetness to it. I have this on repeat when I need... Continue Reading →
During lunch yesterday, I glanced over to the edge of the dinning table where this orchid was and was taken by surprise at seeing this bright magenta bloom. It had taken forever for it to bloom. I believe it was late spring when it grew a new stem but due to over watering some days... Continue Reading →
