http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uqyn0BTPK0 I was looking through a memory book I made in 89'-90' and came upon a divider page in which I wrote song titles on. There were a couple of songs that I didn't remember. One being "Call It Love" by Poco (above video). I actually still really like that song. And, remember Georgio's "I... Continue Reading →

At first, I thought it was dead but then I touched the wings gently with the... Continue Reading →
I've been neglecting the orchids lately. This is a tribute to their loveliness. I took these photos yesterday of the master bath white orchids. These are the second set of blooms. The first set died out about a month ago when these were just coming in. I'm a bit sad to say that these are... Continue Reading →
[August 2008] There are days when I wish time would just stand still until I say, "I'm ready to move on." Yesterday, Kylie got the last two vaccinations she needed in order to start preschool. While at the pediatrician's office, she made the employees laugh with her goofy sense of humor. I thought she'd be... Continue Reading →
