Beautiful Fall Morning and Anthony
Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4 The beautiful morning called me to go outside for a few pictures. These two hickory trees looked beautiful with the morning sun beaming down on them.

Supper at Bully’s Restaurant
Tuesday Evening, March 31 I chose this picture of the exterior of Bully’s Restaurant from the Internet, because this is pretty much what it looked like when we arrived.

An Afternoon with Diane and Deb
Tuesday, October 31 This is something that doesn’t happen very often because our daughters live 500-plus miles apart. They rarely get to spend time together – just the two of them – and it is just as rare that we get to spend a few hours of being a threesome. Following brunch at Brenda’s house, […]
Thank You, Lord

Breakfast with Jere
Thursday Morning, October 26 This was the morning that suited the two of us to go out for breakfast. I am still processing the fact that we have children with gray hair. In my mind he is still that little curly-haired guy running around the house. I am glad that our children keep their promises. […]
