Hello Me - self portrait by Hannah

It’s unusual to catch Hannah pointing the camera at herself so this was a fun picture to find!

Jennifer on Safari - by Hannah

My cousin Jennifer is like me and does not like her pictures taken, but I thought this one would be acceptable.  She has the MOST BEAUTIFUL wavy red hair and the sunny, fun personality too match.  I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her as a child.  Now we have gotten to spend 4 whole days with her, and it has been exactly what I thought it would be those many years ago, wonderful!!!

Of course, I had to give the drums a go too!

Hard Rock and Sister

August24

Finally left Fort Lauderdale with a BANG today, more on that later, but was able to meet up with my sister Honor who was visiting Orlando with friends and have dinner on our way through town.  Of course, we had to eat somewhere fun so we visited the Hard Rock at Universal Studios City Walk.  Not only was it loud and obnoxious; therefore perfect for my cooped up kids who had just sat in the car for three hours, but the wait staff was fabulous and company was even better.  I highly recommend it and ask for Vegas as your server, he is great with kids!

grandmama's formal living room

This is a room and I will take a picture of it - by Hannah

Hannah is my literal artist and always has been.  You will notice very quickly as you see her photos that they are now composed well in that she gets everything in the frame and whatever it is, it is centered . . . we shall see how this works out.

Just like ME - by Hannah

I could find no other word describing Hannah’s personality when she meets new people.  Everyone loves her and she loves them back.  My sweet girl!!!

Wow, where to start?  I always feel like what should be said here should define me, how I feel about myself and how I live my life . . . and frankly how do you put all that in words that anyone but you could fully comprehend the meaning???

So I’ll be brief. Mother, ex-wife, daughter, sister, renter, homemaker, laundress, boss, friend, business owner and taxi driver – these are the hats I wear on a daily basis in my life.  I wouldn’t give up a single one, well, except maybe the “ex” part, but that’s a story for another day.

My life revolves around my two children who are with me all the time and my job because, let’s face it, I’ve got bills to pay.  I LOVE my life.  I am so blessed. But that’s not to say it isn’t VERY hard sometimes.  I’ve learned to count my blessings daily if not momentarily and am really looking forward to this new “blogging” chapter of my life, even if it is just an outlet for myself.

Have questions . . . ask?  I don’t hold back – ever, especially in this my “personal” space.
