Wishcasting

Jamie Ridler, host of WISHCASTING WEDNESDAYS asks us today "HOW DO YOU WISH TO SPEND SOME TIME?" My list seemed long so I cut it down to the top 5 most desirable.

First I wish to float again in the azure waters of the Caribbean with Matt. Then I wish to sit on a long beach with my son for hours and some very cold beer. Then I wish for yoga, yoga, any yoga, more yoga in my daily life. And finally I wish for unlimited and uninterrupted days of sewing, cooking, creating and painting. ~I WISH~

AUGUST BREAK: I painted a Saint

...and I love her!

AUGUST BREAK: everything vintage

AUGUST BREAK : Day 22

I am back in Texas today, feeling a bit grumpy, missing the cool ocean breezes as the temps rise several degrees above 100. Then suddenly I feel guilty as I think of my son in Kuwait, who is working in 130 degree weather...too hot to sleep, too tired to rest. So I unplugged the vacuum, laid down the dust rag and stopped the washer, iced down the wine, jumped into my car and took myself out on a date to a friends Ranch house nearby and worshiped the sun all afternoon until it set on the horizon.

August Break: her

she hides her face when I raise my camera to capture her beauty. the only way I can reveal herself is to photograph her precious belongings, treasures and mementos. and it is these things that describe her beauty, her character and style. This one's for you Vickie.

August Break: Smiling Eyes

She turned to me and whispered, "don't you just love it when you get so excited you forget to breathe?" and the thought of her smiling eyes still makes me laugh
