Happy New Year!





Welcome 2018...2017 in now part of our past and time for reflection.

In 2017 I posted 81 new blog posts, down from 170 in 2016. So, my goal 2018 is to write 200 new posts – that’s an average of 16-17 posts each month. So, let the blogging begin with a reflection on 2017.

Some of my posts included a series on the Book of Ephesians – “A Call to Carry on.” No More Walls was a popular post in this series.

Inside My Eye was also a popular post, I wrote about my surgery to correct a Macular Hole in my right eye. Well, the journey continues with another surgery in a few days to once again repair the hole. I don’t mind the surgery as much as I mind the recovery.

“Joy” was another popular post in 2017.

For the last few years I have participated in the #write31days challenge to post each day in October. My theme for the series was “Created to Create.” Follow the link here to read the daily posts featuring some of my favorite PhotoShop CC techniques and photos.


I wrote on a variety of topics throughout 2017, finishing out the year with a few of the places my husband and I visited. Here’s a YouTube video of my final project for 2017, that was presented as a slideshow at the Camera Club of Brevard’s January 2nd program the includes a few of my favorite places. The music in the video is not mine, the artist credit is on the last slide.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope you'll come visit again very soon!


Be blessed and be a blessing!

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

  Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country.   The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union.  The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic.
