My Grandma, Thelma Burk, died this morning. She was exactly 1 month away from her 99th birthday. She was one of the classiest ladies I ever knew. And while age stole her memory, nothing will ever steal my memory of her. She taught me a great deal about grace and beauty and her heart of love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was inspiring. See you soon, Grandma, when we meet again in the presence of Christ. I love you.

For the 15th time, the PBR Unleash the Beast took place on January 10 and 11, 2025 at the All-State Arena outside Chicago.
Joao Ricardo Vieira made his 1,000th career premier series out, making him the fifth cowboy in PBR history to reach that milestone. He took sixth place in the event, earning $3,400.00. Brady Fielder won the event, earning $52,590.
Here she is, Maria... just a quick iPhone shot of my latest Christie in the 'Intrigue' that used to be on my blonde Hair Fair.... Her hair was an absolute mess (I got her in a very cheap lot that included one item I HAD to have- the feathery hat to Julia's 'Candlelight Capers' ... I have been hunting for that damn hat to complete my outfit for THREE YEARS!!!) ...but after a TONNE of gel, hairspray and several attempts with Barbie-sized curlers, I think I've finally tamed it... I even discovered a thatched side-part that my other TNT Christie doesn't have! There is sadly no room for her in the Barbie Family House at the moment so she is sitting on top of it, surveying all the action!

Un testimonial estremamente gradito e decisamente inatteso quello di Agnese. Grazie per esserti fermata non solo a curiosare nel mio stream ma anche per aver voluto scrivere bellissime parole da "donna a donna".
La giovane età di Agnese a fronte di grandi capacità è prova del fatto che il suo rapporto con la fotografia è molto forte, viscerale. I ritratti sono carichi di passione e le abilità non mancano di certo.
Brava e grazie!

A very appreciated and unexpected testimonial the one from Agnese. Thank you so much for stopping by and for writing so wonderful words “from woman to woman”.
Her being so young and her great ability work together to prove that her relationship with photography is very strong, visceral. Her portraits are loaded with passion and not lacking for sure in ability.
Well done and thank you!
Headed for storage at Amtrak's Beech Grove facility near Indianapolis, two Series 8 Talgo trainsets cross the Menomonee River in Milwaukee, moving south on CP's C&M Sub. The trains were retired from Amtrak Cascades service by WSDOT following the 2017 wreck involving one set (and their replacement/supplementation by Series 8 equipment). It was very strange to see these trainsets (the 'Mount Olympus' and 'Mount Hood' respectively) again, and so far from their home, as between 2000 and 2010 I rode both many times.
this striped rose is from the Rose Garden of Snug Harbor, Staten Island - former home for retired sailors and now a cultural center (still being renovated)
International Women's Day is the global day connecting all women around the world and inspiring them to achieve their full potential.

For once I knew immediately what I wanted to do for a scramble! Thank you Paula for such an open theme. Bought the Leafy Vines when it was the stamp of the week after loving every card I saw made with it. I love Windy Robinson's card in the current PC Mag, pg 17. Seldom use my chalks but she inspired me to get them out. I did add some soft purple between the light & dark blues instead of using just 1 color. After stamping with Versamark, I used just the darkest blue chalk to bring out the image. Then I used my newest glitter (I'm a sucker for any form!), Therm-O-Web Glimmer Mist silver, to set it & give a soft sparkle that doesn't rub off. Such an easy, quick technique that I had time to try & make my first lace flower (Sue--scrumplescrunch--showed how on her blog ages ago)--oh what fun! The sentiment is from Friends Are Treasures that I've hardly used--perfect for this card, I think. Had to add some pearls--probably my favorite embellishment. With the lace flower I can add my card to the monthly challenge. Thanks for hosting a fun scramble, Paula!

An anniversary tribute to all those who lost their lives fighting for their country during the First World War.
My Mom passed away on 04/10/2010. please remember her in your prayers. Mom even though you are not with us anymore but our love for you will shine brighter than the sun forever. May God bless your soul Mom (Amen)
For this week's 100x theme of Symmetry.
I snapped about 25 images of this little cluster of flowers. The sun was so bright that I could barely see the screen to see if the flowers were in frame let a lone in focus.
Surprisingly I got a number of keepers from the set. I was super happy to see those tiny drops of dew nestled in among the petal bases when I previewed the image on the iPad.
I saw the fantastic UD grounds keepers the other day with their tanks of weed eradicator on their backs and spray hoses in hand.
I am sure these little flowers were one of their targets.
The usual iPhone and Olloclip Macro lens and iPad Snapseed for editing.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Every December for the last couple of years my friends and I had down to Paso Robles for a weekend of fun and celebration. ALthough my roommate has now graduated and moved down to Southern California we still celebrate her birthday by renting a giant hacienda, cooking great food and tasting a lot of wine. While researching wineries I came across Steinbeck Vineyards and their jeep tour of their vineyards. When I called to see if they could handle a group of 30 young adults they were more than happy to accommodate us! We split into 2 groups and I was in the group arriving second. Before we even arrived we heard from the first group that the tour was absolutely amazing and that we were going to have a blast. When we finally got to Steinbeck and hopped into a 1950's jeep we knew we were in for a treat. The ride was almost like a roller coaster, going up and down hills, around sharp bends and was an absolute blast!
While on the tour we stopped on top of this hill (we weren't sure if they Jeep could make it, but it did!) and found out that it had been featured in a number of magazines, including wine spectator. Looking up at the clouds I had my hopes that sunset might produce some color and I knew that I wanted to come back here. After finally heading back to the tasting room and tasting some wine I asked if I might be allowed back into the vineyards. The owners dad was nice enough to hop in his pickup and drive me back out to the vineyards. Sure enough, as the sun set the entire sky exploded with pink, yellow, and red color. I think this sunset lasted for about 45 minutes. It was absolutely stunning!

The body has death, but not the soul.
The body sleeps, the soul flies.
Death is at once
The end of the body's
Old journey
And the beginning of the soul's
New journey.
~~~~
Death is not the end.
Death can never be the end.
Death is the road.
Life is the traveler.
The soul is the guide.
~~~~
I know I will love death.
Why?
Because death too
Is God's creation
And because death reminds me
Of the existence of her sister:
Infinity's Life immortal.
~~~~
The soul-stirring words on death and the soul in this chapter of the Gita, let us recollect.
Even as man discards old clothes for the new ones, so the dweller in the body, the soul,
leaving aside the worn-out bodies, enters into new bodies.
The soul migrates from body to body.
Weapons cannot cleave it, nor fire consume it, nor water drench it, nor wind dry it.
This is the soul and this is what is meant by the existence of the soul.
by: Sri Chinmoy

TODAY is INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY..
I cry for Peace and all the sadness. Still desperately trying to remain positive.

Irene Papas, music by Vangelis.
There are plenty of myths and legends behind the white rose. As one myth has it, the first rose on Earth was a white rose, and it miraculously transformed to other hues. The pure white rose was said to have been tainted by blood, making it red; and it was also made to blush from a kiss, making it pink.
Another myth came from the Ancient Greeks. It was said that roses were originally white until one day Aphrodite the Goddess of Love and Beauty pricked herself with the thorns of a rose. The blood that dripped from her finger turned the white roses red.
These myths indicate the loss of innocence, which is the absolute opposite of what the white rose symbolises – innocence and purity.
I seem to rescue a lot of flowers lately... due to the awful weather!
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)
MORE THAN EVER:
Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!
