"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it
is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of
course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want
to escape from these things." ~T. S. Eliot

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will NEVER forget how you make them feel ~ Maya Angelou

I've always been drawn to things that display class, glamour, and beauty

Hello Again



Hello again..it's been along time since ive posted anything..I'm excited about getting back to real life and start journaling and feeding you all the things that I come across again..
Let me tell you alittle of what i've been up to and getting back into..giggles!

I've picked my camera back up..haven't had much interest in it for awhile, but got a phone call the other day, wanting me to take family pictures..my mind started racing..oh my I said..I haven't picked my camera up in months..but she asked me if I would do it so I said yes, just to get me out and about again. I started scouting my area for some awesome scenery and seeing it's almost OCTOBER! I thought maybe there would be some fall festival and decorations out. Have found a great location and am looking forward to documenting there family.

Ryleigh is in the 3rd grade this year and seeing that I am home, my husband has encouraged me to start going to school and helping out in her class and to see how she is doing in her new classroom. Im excited about doing this..We have her IEP on the 4 of Oct so i'll know more then.








If you know me, then you know that I've also been taking care of my mom who is suffering from dimentia, she is doing good but it is taking a toll on her. She is
a beautiful woman and if you know my mom she is a caring and loving person and my memories are of just that. Mom has been struggling with this for the last 3 years and she is in her late 70's and my dad has been the sole care taker, but from some recent incidences i've had to talk to my sisters and brothers about maybe an intervention and coming to realization that they are going to need more help than what we can give them. My siblings think that we should let them live in their home and do their own routine as they are use to but this worries me...ME, it worries only because the last year I've been out of touch and maybe im feeling alittle guilty. I just want them to be safe and healthy. I've been doing some research on alhemerize.

Ive been busy getting my home and life organized again and im almost there! giggles!

This morning as I am sitting here drinking my wonderful DD coffee, the smell just makes my mind race..I love the smell of coffee brewing and it takes me back to being at home when my Dad would start a pot of coffee and the moments that come to mind is morning time with him reading the newspaper, drinking his coffee, and eating his toast..isn't that funny how smells brings back some memories of your past..
This is the most recent picture I have of them..the smiles when all of us get together for dinner, makes me happy that they are happy!

I guess i better blog about the new member in our family, since I don't think I have mentioned him here before.  My son went to Texas to live for awhile, but when he come home he brought a new member to our family..I am not one to let a pet stay in the house and sleep or be on my furniture, none the less on my bed, but this dog has captured our hearts and he is a big baby and loves to play and is so good with ryleigh and josh wanted him in the house so he wouldn't run away or get stolen...ha but I am in love with this dog..but shhhh don't tell Josh!   (giggles)


He's gotten big since he's come home but we love him none the less...

Well the day is getting away from me and I have a shopping trip to attend...giggles..
Hope your day is working for ya and i'll talk to you all soon!

Curiousity Got Me..For the Color Red

When you think of the word RED, what pops in your head this very instant? Do you think of Love...Peace...War...Violence...Anger...

I got a little curious the other day so I googled Red and the first line it read..”RED IS HOT” “RED IS A STRONG COLOR THAT CONJURES UP A RANGE OF EMOTIONS FROM PASSIONATE TO VIOLENCE AND WARFARE”

As I contemplate in some of your galleries I will see something I like and I'll click on it and then I stopped myself and wonder why I am drawn to this photo..and there it is just a hint of red in it and as I go thru all the photos, the red does capture my attention..Funny how one color can make you feel so many emotions inside and yet it means Love/Hate, Peace/War, Happiness/Anger, opposites of each other, Funny, huh?

What do you feel when you see the color RED? I hope you find the time to comment for me, I am curious and how other people see RED.

From Delray Beach

I call this "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"inspired from a Billy Joel song! Photobucket

Delray Beach, Florida

When I was asked a few weeks ago to come and join them at the beach, I was extremely excited about going, getting the sunrise pictures and going on photo shoot ride down the beach just sounded like fun to me.
I packed our bags (Ryleigh and I) and headed down south to beautiful Delray Beach!
There was such a quaint feel in this town, everyone was so pleasant, in the morning when we walked down to the ocean, lot of morning walkers and have you ever noticed when people are out at that hour of the morning people are so friendly, maybe it the new day, fresh air and knowing that you are in present of people that want the same things as you do.
We were at the beach by 6:30 AM, and got there just before the sun was coming up from the clouds. It was such a feeling of hope, a new begining, a reason to live!
Here are some photos from my trip.(I have more, but haven't edited them yet so there will be more later!)
