Ivy turns three!

Ivy (Don's great niece) turned three yesterday. We helped her celebrate with some cake . . .













Happy Birthday, Ivy!

be yourself!

Connie has this dangling from the light fixture above her dining room table. I'm a sucker for quotes like this. This one hits close to home for me sometimes. May you be inspired too.

Janet

Janet is a friend of mine that I met while serving on a local board. She has spent a lifetime volunteering at the local level. Janet is fun to be around. She has a wonderful laugh & big smile that lights up a room. She has lost her vision over the years. An inherited disorder that hasn't dampened her spirit or enthusiasm for life. I hoped to capture her smile in a photograph. So I asked & she said yes.















Thanks, Janet!

Doris has an embroidery business in Blue Hill. She's made the tags we've been using on the "Lola bags". I was in her shop a few weeks ago & loved the colorful display of thread. So when I was in Blue Hill on Monday to see Nancy I stopped in to see Doris again just so I could photograph her thread. Thanks, Doris!

a Nebraska sky

This is what the sky looked like yesterday afternoon when I was traveling down highway 6. I hadn't stopped at these railroad tracks for a long time but the fall colors & dramatic sky was reason enough. There was a rumble of thunder as I got back into my vehicle then rain came once I was back on the highway. I'd been out to have lunch with Dad then saw Nancy over her lunch hour. A quick trip.

Happy Birthday, George!!

Today is George's birthday. Becky sent these recent photos of him with Audrey. George has a good time being a dad. Becky sent him off to Atlanta (Georgia) today with a friend for a Braves/Giants playoff game. I'm sure he had fun.





Yesterday was Amber & Marc's sixth wedding anniversary & Chelsey's birthday!
