I can't get enough of others' stories.
And that's not due to a voyeuristic streak or anything----
It's the need I have to get a sense of how others structure
snapshot - ing their lives.
The ordinary-ness, the extraordinary-ness.
How do we create a window into a moment
How do we create a window into a moment
---or even a day or a year ---- in the life
and make it memorable, gripping?
That's something I can't get enough of.
2017, for my family, was landmark in many ways.
Ways in which I cannot elucidate here,
as much of it is not for public eyes and ears.
(even though I do love my readers!)

However, I'm grateful for the opportunity
to look back through my photographyat the past twelve months.
There is always, always something to be grateful for.
That's my focus.... I'm a glass 1/2 full kinda gal
and silver linings are my thing.
A huge thank you goes to Bobbi for hosting 12 in 2017.
It's been a treat, Bobbi. 💙

We celebrated the sacrament of confirmation
and, can you believe, our family's l-a-s-t sacrament
until one of the kids gets married!
My son chose St Dominc as his patron saint
and no, it was not his birthday.... those 7 candles
represent the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
June
My most favorite flowers in our yard...
I just love tiger lilies

A trip to one of the seven wonders of the world again this summer.
