Joey, do you take these photos??? They are simply incredible. Thank you for your nice post today. It almost made me cry. I hope your sister is doing well today.
You have a strong pen, Nancy. I hear your voice from far away, enjoying your heartfelt words.
Yes, these are all my photos (over 15,000 digital stored) besides heaps of film, prints and negatives.
As of today, I'm thankful my sister is improving after months living between hospitals & nursing homes recovering from meningitis & 2 bouts of endocarditis plus loosing her vision. It's been a horrific road with a long journey ahead ... focusing on 'one day at a time'.
joey- this crisp recipe sounds delish. i might have to give it a try pre-thanksgiving. as always your photos are a delight to enjoy.
That is a beautiful picture....... Dad is home from the hospital and he is well........ Just some trouble with his blood pressure.. but it is under control now.. thanks for all your prayers.. there is no distance on prayer...
