My Great Grand Parents

My cousin Randy in Wisconsin recently sent me this wonderful photo of my Great Grand Parents on their wedding day in 1906. I never had the opportunity to meet them. "Ma" died in 1955 and "Pa" in 1966 when I was only 16. We'd never even been out of Los Angeles. My Dad's best memories as a kid were the times he spent at their cottage at Lake Okauchee, just outside of Milwaukee.Papers and elements from Stacey Tower's Random Musings "Purple Pudding" kit.

Week Four: Photo a Day 2009

Well this week was a bit boring, a bit sad, with a bit of a drizzle but mostly days of blues skies with white fluffy clouds. Both of us have been battling colds and it's accompanying fatigue. Gene's cousin Walt died allowing us to reconnect with his daughters, their children and other cousins.

Week Three: Photo a Day 2009

Here is WEEK THREE of my "Photo a Day." Taking a photo a day puts into perspective that my life is not really boring. Again, hard choices as to which one photo to post.

Bike Ride at the Beach

We woke to another beautiful day in San Diego— 80°F with sunny skies. Gene suggested we go for a bike ride at the beach. His idea of a ride is more like a scenic jaunt with lots of stops so I was able to get a bunch of great beach photos. You can view the Ocean Beach Bike Ride Photo Gallery here.

It was 3 PM at Ocean Beach and there were still lots of people in the water and lying on the sand.This is the middle of winter!!! We are so lucky to live in Paradise.

Week Two: A Photo A Day 2009

Gene & I just got back from a six day cruise to Cabo and Ensenada. It was a fun trip and we are ready to try cruising again.

Here is WEEK TWO of my "Photo a Day." This week the challenge was to figure out which one of many photos to use in this layout. Since I took so many photos, you can view our Cruise Photo Gallery here. Paper, elements, and alpha from Vicki Parker’s A Work in Progress “Land & Sea.”
