Cruisin’

Summer is winding down. Crowds are thinning out, temps are beginning to drop (even if only a little) and schools are about to start again. I am ready for fall. This weekend I went cruisin' to Navarre Beach to walk out on the fishing pier, and to DeFuniak Springs where I met a new mother, … Continue reading Cruisin’

I've been home a whole week since my trip home to Tennessee. Like 'they' say, now I need a vacation from my vacation. There was a lot to catch up on once here, much more work than expected for only seven days away. I collect crucifixes and rosaries.

Except for taking some time off while pondering whether I wanted to continue my writing and photography, this week marks my fourth full year of blogging.
