31 days of fun

The other day Asia kept texting me from work, giving me ideas for my FUN experiment... and one of his texts said "What about photography? You think that's fun..."

And I had to pause... "Oh yeah. Photography." I thought to myself.

I texted him back "I don't think I've taken a picture all summer long..."

So this weekend I got the camera out... we were in Leavenworth with our dear friends David and Brynn, spending one last extended chunk of time with them before they move to Northern Ireland...

We took a walk together and I asked David first of all to take some pictures of our family... it's been ages since we had some good ones taken.


Then I got the camera back and took a few shots while we were talking on the deck...

My fifteen year old boy/man...

My soul mate/partner/best friend/love.

And then when we got home and I was puttering in the back yard I decided to take some shots of my cherry tomatoes (yellow ones this year!)
I like taking pictures.
It's fun.

    I saved my pennies, worked two jobs for a few months and finally treated myself to a new Nikon. I have been totally in love all summer. Taking pictures mostly of my kids and flowers, and the kids tease me about taking pictures of my flowers. And my dying garden...and... tteeheee.....I am slowly discovering part of dealing with the kids growing away from me, is teaching myself to make my own fun again. Things I used to enjoy before my life was consumed by diapers and other people's needs. :) The process is not an easy one though. What is next on your fun list!?

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
