ALL IN GOOD TIME

Doings

What have I been doing?

Watching the snow fall, and melt.

I ran the Club Challenge 10-Miler on Sunday. O, Happy Day!

Taking random photos with my Olympus.

Life as usual.

I always liked the red ones best...

The Proclaimers 500 Miles

Just saw "Benny and Joon" for the first time (hey, if it's a Johnny Depp movie, I bet I'll like it!) and I LOVED it, and I loved this song, too. Only a decade or two behind...

The snows came, along with the eclipse. Then the next day, the sun came out and the snow melted off, leaving a salty residue all over my husband's car. But it made a great macro shot. IMO. LOL.

It's been chilly, and grey all day, and now it's snowing.
My husband had to drive to NJ this morning, and I'm alone and unmotivated.

Just a little playing I did with my camera and some light and vases.

Bill looks through the window as I am outside taking pictures after an ice storm. I loved the reflections of the trees against the sky overlaid on his kitty face.

Happy Valentine's Day

from Modern Life Takes a Toll on Our Hearts
By Denise Mann WebMD Feature

What is the most important thing we can do for our hearts?

Remember that you are love -- and be love.

How can a person be love?

Instead of looking to give love, just be love: Do something good for someone.

The feeling you get when you see their face light up brings joy to your heart.

Be grateful for your life and have gratitude for the gifts you have been given.

I submitted my self-portrait to the Infinite Flickr group at the Flickr website. I hope my photo gets approved. I really am quite tickled by this idea.

With the boys at the Coast Guard Ball

This isn't really a new photo (the ball was last December), but we are transferring files. So. This is one I can get to from this PC.

Looking for a running route

The CBRC Home Run

5k-ish run for the club.

Happy Birthday to me

I found these in my sister's things this week.

I believe she bought them as presents for me,

and they have been received right on time.

wishes

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess .

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,

an hour to appreciate them,

a day to love them,

but an entire life to forget them.

Happy Holidays from Baltimore!

Just another holiday on 34th Street!

FAILURE

In memorial: Bill Strauss

Dan is absolutely one of the most dedicated of all Baltimore's race volunteers. It's a rare event when he doesn't give his services - and that usually only happens when he's already volunteering at another event that same day!

Celtic Solstice 2007

SOLSTICE RITES!

The Druids were running

in the Hills of Baltimore!

Found!

My sister Suzy used to be an artist's model, but I couldn't find the sculptor's name who had used her to pose as "Eve".

Well, on Monday, my husband and I went up to New Jersey to deal with Suzy's things that had been placed in storage, and with piles of old letters and bills, and paperwork, I found a postcard from the sculptor's studio, with the sculptor's note (& his name spelled correctly!) on it.

This was my sister, in a different time of her life, before the cancer.

They changed something somewhere along the way. Not allowed to view this photo anymore from this link. I'll delete the entire post as soon as I figure out HOW.
