In the middle of the afternoon, while out trying to photograph birds and not having a lot of luck, John suggested the West Australian Reptile Park. That sounded like a good suggestion to me, so off we went. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. John sure knows...
So even though John and I will be married a year next month, I don’t think he realized what a fireworks nut I am. I was getting more excited as the time came near for the fireworks. The it began, the event I had been waiting for, perhaps since John...
This was to be my first Australia Day, and I was quite excited. I had already seen many of John’s photos of the event in years past and knew as much as I love fireworks, I was in for a real treat. We went into Perth way before the fireworks...
Here, making each day of the year Changing my life with a wave of her hand Nobody can deny that there’s something there ~ The Beatles My husband is learning that as a general rule, women are nesters, and I am no exception. I guess with a wave of my...
Afraid to wait for another Bushfire to prevent us to walk there, we decided to go to Koondoola Bush for a walk. John said this isn’t a good time of year to see wildflowers, but it seems there is ALWAYS something different and amazing to see.
Last week, Dad and Iris picked me up to give me a peek at Dad’s bowling club as well as take me shopping and to lunch. The Sunday before, at their house, I commented that I had no idea what the game looked like or how it was played. The...
Yesterday we had a small celebration for Jeff and Jamie’s birthday. Both are born in January. We started out with pizza, and I baked a cake for the occasion:
Before we left the U.S., Laura, John, and I (part of what makes up Moonfall Studios), had a family photo session with a very unique and awesome family, The Petersons. And now a few of the family… For more than a sample of their gallery, go to Moonfall Studios HERE
God’s beauty is displayed in every sunset, His renown blazes brighter than every star, His grace is sweeter than honey. The world that surrounds us declares the glory of God! As a painting dimly captures the beauty of nature, so does nature itself dimly capture His splendor. The sky is...
As we boarded the plane in San Francisco, the pilot warned we would hit some turbulence and that even the flight path would be altered closer to Hawaii. At the time I told myself it was kind of reassuring to be forewarned, unlike my last flight over the Pacific when...
When John and I first arrived to BWI, we checked in and were concerned that our seats were not together. So we asked while checking in our bags if the seating arrangement could be changed. I even went on to explain that we were married in February and separated since...
John and I are off to Perth, here was the start of our journey.
A drive to Easton, Maryland (where Laura could get her earliest appointment), my youngest got her license to drive! Always a stressful time, hoping to pass, she didn’t need to worry, she did a great job!
After all the Christmas celebrations, it was finally New Year’s Day. It was a perfect start of the year with family. We enjoyed our time together so much.
I love how John has settled into his role as Pop Pop…
Some failed ideas of how simple it would be to take Jenny to New York City for her birthday, we ended up going to Washington D.C. Since I LOVE going to D.C. , it seemed like a good second choice. We selected the American History Museum, since it had been...
After many days of preparations, early celebrations, Christmas Day with the family was finally here.
