Happy 2015!

2014 was a great year!  Started a new job that I love, and visited Europe with my family , , , looking forward to revisiting some of the great places we saw in Europe and sharing other great moments in 2015!

Happy New Year!

Tis the holiday season . . .

Wordless Wednesday . . .

A picture of my dog, who is tired of me traveling, and is sending me a message by sitting in my luggage!

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday . . .

For this Wordless Wednesday, a photo of my son going off to his first overnight summer camp!  This was right before departure!

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

For the first Wordless Wednesday in August, and in honor of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, I thought I would share a photo taken by my brother in law from the London Eye in 2008 . . . someday I will get to the London Eye!

Have a great Wordless Wednesday!

Mamie . . .

During my week in Florida, I made a new friend. It was a time of sadness and Mamie's visits (my Dad named her) brightened our days.

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

On the first Wordless Wednesday of the Summer, here is a shot of our favorite summer vacation destination!

In remembrance of those who have served . . .

In honor of men and woman who have served their countries on Veterans' Day, I thought I would share this beautiful poem by Sophie Jewett:

The water sings along our keel,   

The wind falls to a whispering breath;

I look into your eyes and feel

No fear of life or death;   

So near is love, so far away   

The losing strife of yesterday.

We watch the swallow skim and dip;

Some magic bids the world be still;   

Life stands with finger upon lip;

Love hath his gentle will;

Though hearts have bled, and tears have burned,

The river floweth unconcerned.

We pray the fickle flag of truce

Still float deceitfully and fair;

Our eyes must love its sweet abuse;   

This hour we will not care,

Though just beyond to-morrow's gate,   

Arrayed and strong, the battle wait. 

Wordless Wednesday . . .

Since November is here, I thought I would share a turkey photo for Wordless Wednesday!

They are residents of Southwick's Zoo in Mendon, MA!

Memory Monday . . .

Boxes of photos  - who doesn't have them?  They sit, day after day, never being shared.
I've decided to start  Memory Monday, where I will pull out a random older photo to post!

My first - my sisters and I with our Nana, in "Dad's chair" at our childhood home!

(I tried to make it larger, but it lost some of its clarity!)
