Bringing it all to this...

The Calm

Before setting out to deliver the many gifts,

we sit and thank the One for which this day we celebrate.

Surviving...in season

Tomatoes that survived the harsh fall so far.

When these babies ripe, can you say

SOUP!!

That's in season for sure.

Orange Tree

We were on our way home from vacation, when we stopped for gas. Along the side of the road was a shack selling fruit of all kind.  They were also selling fruit trees.  My husband wanted to bring home a little Florida back home in IN, so he bought an ORANGE tree.

Here it is, in all of its glory. 

We'll see if it outlast our long cruel Indiana winter.

Who I See...Simple Things

Sept. 20, 2001...this beautiful, sweet miracle came into my life.
After years of complications, my sweet Cambria entered this crazy world.
Who I see?
I see my first born transform before me everyday into the beautiful young lady you see above. Her thoughts are not on boys, or the latest fad, nor is it what plans she has on Friday night. But its when she'll be able to ride her bike, or the next time she'll go fishing with her dad
or see her best friend.
The simple things.
Cam, may you always be content with the simple things in life... Love, Mom

Abandoned all fear...

As my husband and I were driving in the country, we spotted him (just in time).
We watched him as he crept across the road toward the haven of grass that awaited him.
Did he know?
Did he know that his urge to cross the road could cost him everything.
No.
He focused on his mission, heading towards his goal and abandoned all fear...

Where I Live...Would blow your mind.

Doesn't look like much now.
But stand next to one of these bad boys.
You would see who has more power.
