Spirit in the Sky

I am a suck for oldies! I don't know what it is about music made before the 1980's, but there seems to be more meaning, soul, and emotion put into every song. I absolutely love the more "raw" sound when computers and synthesized sound was less common. Enjoy one of my many oldies favorites!

Belated 4th

I celebrated the 4th of July in the usual kind of way with outdoor fun, BBQ, and fireworks. Although the 4th turned out to be a gloomy, rainy day . . . we did not let the drizzle stop us!

45 year old firecrackers. When they did light, boy were they loud! Guess it goes to show that they just don't make things the way they used to.

Home Depot can sometimes provide the best toys! A Wham-O brand slip-n-slide just wasn't long enough, so we opted for a 50 foot slip-n-slide made out of painters plastic.

Can the 4th of July really be the 4th without some sparkler fights?!

And last but not least, we watched a fireworks show in the park. Most definitely the perfect end to Independence Day!

Happy Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry I have been a bit MIA, it just seems like summer has taken over and I find myself enjoying the outdoors rather than sitting in front of a computer screen. Despite my sparse presence, I am here and loving life.

This Monday marks the beginning of a busy photo season. I have had a bit of a slow start the last few months but in the coming weeks I will be shooting engagements, bridals, weddings, babies, and commercial photos for a local doll maker. I am also getting ready for my five year high school reunion-it is my job to gather photos from high school and put them in a slide show!

I am a little bit behind on posting photos because I have been hard at work launching my photography Facebook page. If you want to become a follower, click here. Now that the Facebook page is all in order, you can expect to see some posts about the 4th of July and the Scottish Festival from this past weekend.

Just so I am not leaving you without some visual goodies, here is Monday's melody.
