    Recovering

    It was my intent to publish Outside My Window this evening….but to be honest, my mouth hurts and I just don’t want to do it right now.  On the plus side, this was the last visit  to the dentist for any major work….the permanent crowns and bridge are set in place.  Words of wisdom to the young folks out there….take good care of your teeth and floss, floss, floss….it will save you dollars and pain later in life. I have been experimenting with the new camera but due to illness, weather and  a plethora of other things that seem to come along lately, I haven’t been able to get out…

    South of the Border

    When I was a little girl, we would drive from Florida to North Carolina to visit my grandparents.  There was one place I can remember I always looked forward to seeing whenever we took these trips…a place that held treasures to behold. You would begin to see the signs miles away….and sometimes there would be lots of signs all in a row…all of them beckoning you to visit.   I can remember getting so excited as they counted down the miles for you….I was reliving those moments this time as we got closer until we finally saw it… I had decided we were going to have lunch when we stopped…and we…

    The Trip Home

    After our brief vacation in Florida, it was time to drive home.  My oldest daughter was the designated photographer with my point and shoot camera.  While she is the love of my life…I didn’t include the many, many, many photographs she took of herself on the post today.  🙂 Next….we go South of the Border…

    Indian River ~ Florida

    The final images from my trip to Florida earlier this month. One last look at the Atlantic then on to the river. After spending some time at the beach and shopping, we made our way back to the house in time to walk to one of the piers not to far from my parents house.  I wanted to watch the sunset over the Indian River. We weren’t the first ones there…. According to a local, he is here every night at sunset…waiting…. …watching…. …enjoying the show with the rest of us.  🙂 While we wait…a view to the South of us…a storm appears to be building here and to our…

    Not tonight…

    I know I said more Melbourne Beach photos today…except not tonight.  I am past tired this evening…and not even sure why.  Oh well…..in the next couple of days I will share more photographs with you.  For this evening….I love how my oldest looks so tiny in comparison to the Atlantic Ocean and never ending blue sky.  I titled this image “In Awe”.

    Outside My Window ~ 10.16.2011

    Outside my window…is a beautiful fall morning.  It is close to 11:00 this morning and we have blue skies, sunshine and a mild temperature of 64°F.  Our forecast high today is 75°F with zero chance of rain.  A vastly different forecast than I experienced last Sunday while in Florida.  For those who aren’t up on current events, last Sunday I was in Melbourne Beach, Florida were we experienced tropical temperatures along with some howling wind and torrential downpours during the system with no name that moved inland.  Quite a ride…but it had all cleared out by Monday morning and we were able to enjoy a little bit of time in…
