Phyllis visits Kansas

Tuesday- June 18, 2013 was not a usual day……

Aunt Phyllis, Jeff and their RV came to Kansas- specifically my folks house. What fun we had! Phyllis and Jeff arrived in the afternoon. After my shift ended I drove straight to the house. Erika’s family joined us at 6 pm for dinner. Dad did his famous roast chicken (in cast iron skillets) on the grill. Mom made bean salad and potatoe casserole. Erika made her fabulous deviled eggs. The eggs were farm fresh from our chickens! This fall Erika will have her own farm fresh eggs. Dessert was strawberry short cake with homemade ice cream. Yum……

The above image is all of us sitting at the dinning room table. This was my first time meeting Jeff. He’s number one with me (ha Jeff!). After visiting late into the night I spent the night and left for work Wednesday morning.

Wednesday evening I again went to see Phyllis. We went to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. The food was wonderful! What I thought was amusing, an outsider looking at us had to laugh at our table while we were reading the menu. Each of us were wearing spectacles! Yes, even I had to put on reading glasses.

June 3-7 Random Images

2013-06-08_0001

During the first week of June I took these images that were interesting to me. The Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is my favorite sandwich from Wendi’s. The image of the chairs was taken while at McDonald’s. As I was eating I couldn’t help but notice how the light from the window and overhead made the chairs look like they were in a magazine. The flowers were in a park that I pass every day to drive home. One day after work this past week, I stopped to smell the roses. Well at least take images of pretty flowers!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I LOVE photography. I once had a client ask me, “What will you do when this becomes boring and you don’t like it anymore?” Of course my answer was “Ah, that would never happen. I love it too much!” Well that day did come. Not so much that I stopping loving photography, but I associated my camera with “work”. When I was not on a photography assignment I never took my camera. I missed so many wonderful photo memories for me personally.

After the birth of my grand-daughter, I knew I had to make a change. Now that I have my “g’ma camera” I am again having fun and being more creative in my own life’s photo journal.

Grab your camera- it doesn’t have to be the most expensive or fancy one. Just be sure to take pictures of the moments that make you happy. Be sure to print a few! You will cherish these for a life time.
