My baby with her baby...


My daughter and her baby girl. I just can not get enough of this little flower child. She spent two nights with Gran and Papa last week so her parents could get a few things done at home. It is deja vu all over again. She looks just like her Mom did when she was a little. I feel like I get a second chance to enjoy my sweet child. After tea parties and morning coffee (mostly milk) and playing Wizard of Oz dolls we drove her back home. As we pulled in her driveway up to her house she said with a look of surprise, "Baby is home!"

Who? Me? On the porch...


I take lots of pictures of my family...
Thousands of pics in 2011

It is hard to see myself in pictures...I have such a positive self image...then I really see...
My age is showing...

I love my camera, it puts up a little shield between me and the world...I can photoshop almost anything! (Believe me there were much worse pictures than these...I have deleted the really bad ones, because I can!)
