Focus on Life Week 25 "You Are......"

THIS week our esteemed leader gave us a challenge of  "This week I asked everyone to complete this sentence,  “You Are  ___________!”, and fill in the blank.  The only catch is it had to be positive."

HMMMMMM...my first thought was...I am perfect....but then I know to many people that would disagree with that.....so I thought about it, and based on how the first 6 months of this year have gone....I would say   " I am Determined".  

Both my parents passed away, which was somewhat expected...but...sad. Taking care of my disabled husband. The economic rollercoaster.  Though I can say that God is with us 100%. Otherwise I think we would be on the streets....  and well....just life in general!  BUT....my goal is to finish planting my yard, sit back and watch it grow, while working on my jewelry and bird watching!  So in order to that... I have to stay DETERMINED!.

Like Sally, I love taking pictures so I had to figure out what to take to match determined...... wasn't easy, but as I enjoy working with collages, I created one with a couple of my earrings, an Ibis in the front yard during TS Andrea, a picture of one of the many lilies we have growing and a mushroom.  I like mushrooms.....(sigh...no, not to smoke)  I do eat mushrooms, but I think they are neat looking. And since I am determined....well, I won't be living under one!  (though I think it would be cool to have a "mushroom" house.....)

So enjoy...

Focus on Life Week 24 - Green

Well, I am a little late, but better late than never.  As I did last week. I didn't post last week as my father has just passed and I was dealing with the funeral and out of town guest and was really just worn out.  So I am picking up with this week - Green.

This was some what easy for me as I am always photographing plants and such so I went through and made a collage of some of my green plants and bugs. Enjoy!

Focus On Life Week 22 - Foodie

This weeks challenge was FOOD. Now we all know we can't live without food....but I don't normally take pictures of the food I cook. At this point in my life, I am cooking, come and get it, clean kitchen, kitchen closed, and on to me time!

I don't have any little ones to deal with, so I can get away with it.  Now if my daughter were here, she loves to cook and tries to be fancy so I could have photographed hers...BUT instead I went to my husbands and my favorite restaurant and "stole" pictures from their site....Denny's.  It was hard to decide what to choose but I tried to choose the ones we ate the most.  And of course since I love creating collages...there is more than one food photo....So enjoy..
