Way Back Wednesday - Just a Little Over a Year Ago

Good morning folks!  Since I'm at the computer now, I figured I'd throw today's post up...instead of waiting until later and eventually putting it off.  I know myself too well to not get it done now.  ;)

So, anyway, about a year ago my other half "D" and our daughter "L" went for a family walk by the local lake.  We looked at the scenery, the foliage, the flowers, the wildlife, etc... It was a very peaceful walk and provided the backdrop for many lovely photos.

We don't get to enjoy many family walks because of our hectic schedules, but when we do, I cherish every step.  Each moment with each other warms my heart!

So, what do you say?  Let's look at a few photos!  :)

Here's a small panoramic of the lake with "L" and I in the right hand corner.  It was definitely a beautiful day!

 
As you can see we are really enjoying ourselves.  It's the little moments like this that make memories for a lifetime!  I hope we are able to enjoy another family walk soon!  I could use the relaxation! :)

Until next time... keep your memories close.  ❤

Way Back Wednesday - The Carnival Is In Town!

Every year around this time, the carnival comes to town.  You know the kind... it goes up overnight (or so it seems), is scantly run, and disappears before you even finish eating your candied apple.   Yep, that kind.

Around here, it's almost always a given that you (read: the folks in this area) know when the carnival is in town because inevitably it also rains the whole time the carnival is here.  It seems like the clouds roll in during the week the carnival sets up and they roll out a few days after the carnies...  There might be a few patches of dry over the course of the carnival, but chances are the rides are too wet to run anyway... so it's usually a wash.  No pun intended.

The truth is, every once in a while, while the carnival is in town, we do experience nice weather... so let's look back two years to 2009...

"L" on the Merry-Go-Round

I should mention here that I absolutely love carnivals and such, so we do try to go every year when this gig comes to town.  If not for anything else, we love cotton candy & fried dough!  Oh, and the Ferris Wheel!

Until next time...

Way Back Wednesday - Looking Back A Few Years

Every once in a while (ok, frequently) I like to look back through old photos to see how my family has changed.  There's something about the nostalgic feelings that I really enjoy, so I'm dedicating Wednesdays to looking back.  :)

So, here we go... back to 2005:

"L" spreading love!

"J" - my shining light

Melt my heart!!!  Six years has passed since these were taken and so many things have changed, yet I still see those same beautiful faces looking at me every day!

I simply love seeing these older photos.  I'm thankful that I've been able to capture so many moments over the last few years.  I love the journey of memories that float through my mind when I see these pictures.  ♥ ♥ ♥

Until next time... ♥
