Madeline in Florida

This is a picture of Madeline in Florida this spring. I love this picture. I can just imagine that warm sand under little feet…the little footsteps she’s watching on that beautiful, bright, sunny day.
She was excited about going to Florida…and walking on the beach…which was kind of cute because she had no idea what Florida [...]

3 Colour Handmade Bracelet

My Cherished Bunnies

      
A while back on a trip to Marc’s in New York State I stopped at a garage sale.  The couple had set up from their garage all kinds of displays and collectables and most of the items were vintage and brand new.  It was just beginning to rain and as they were trying to [...]

I was away from here for a while…

I haven’t been here for a few weeks.  My father passed away in the beginning of June.  We miss him terribly.   It was not expected at this time but then when is it ever expected.  We just live day by day and should cherish each of those days because we never know day to day… [...]
