Fond Memories for a Friday

May 8, 2009 by Elaine

To get there we drove across a rickety wooden bridge that I was sure would one day break underneath the weight of our car. But we made it across every time. Once we reached the gate one of us had to get out to open it and wait for the car to pull through and…

WW – Capturing Moments

This past Monday I found myself outside with my boys in the late afternoon, taking pictures, playing “ball” and watching them eat their lollipops that I gave into, because well, I’m easy like that – what can I say? I was glad to have my camera near by when they both decided to sit in…

A Friend Forever, Found Freshman Year

Scribbles & Towels

September 15, 2008 by Elaine

A few years ago I was looking through my mother’s purse for something (don’t worry, I had her permission – ha!) and I pulled out a little memo pad that I recognized from my childhood. She was harboring the same note pad that I had drawn on many, many times as kid, while bored on…
