When I asked (then emailed) for your input on the memory photo compositions, you came through and helped me with a big decision.  It made it easier to get the job done, as you can see with the end results I’ve posted below.  The size of the photos

Hubby’s home today.  He said that when the smoke dissipated a bit, they found another fire that had been burning.  Approximately 2,500 acres have been burnt so far by that fire. Also, on the wire El Dorado county sheriffs are looking for information regarding a suspicious fire.  Apparently a vehicle was found at the bottom […]

I just read a post by a fellow MySpace buddy that gave suggestions on how to reach out and offer a helping hand to those affected by the wildfires.  The first item on the list was to call the local fire department and offer to man phone lines or deliver food.  It was, I’m certain, […]

You might have noticed a few changes on my blog. These, I’ve already learned, may cause it to go wonky now and again. First, I apologize if this should happen when you come to visit and I certainly hope it won’t keep you from returning again. Next, I probably should tell you […]

I’m in a “funk.”

A new friend of mine noticed it in class today and I wasn’t really sure how to respond because at the time, I couldn’t pinpoint it.

It’s frustrating, this melancholy murk I’ve fallen into. It reminds me of a storybook my mom had read to me as a child and the many hours […]
