I am so behind on blogging – and adding to the gallery! I have so much to share and have NEVER been this far behind. The computer switch has been less than smooth!
Here are the favorites from the beach during our Florida trip!
This last one is my favorite by far – I have it as the new desktop on my computer!
When Jared and I were first married we lived in an apt. on Main Street in Mansfield – next to Crossroads Bed & Breakfast – see the nifty link on the R hand side of the page.
We only spent one winter in that apt. – Jared’s cousin Alyssa would come over and we would – excuse me – SHE would cook us dinner and hang out – when it snowed we would get in our ridiculous flannel pajamas and go out in the middle of the road and take pictures – thankfully I don’t know where those pictures are!
I do know where one of those winter pictures ended up – in the foyer of Crossroads – in the gym at Phoenix – and now in the homes of TWO barden photography patrons!
I entered the picture in the Troy Fair in 2005 and won a prize in the special category – Home for the Holidays – I then gave the photo to the Fitzgerald’s – who own the B & B – and they hung it in their foyer.
A few years later – a patron fell in love with the picture and asked to purchase it – AWESOME!
When I first started at Phoenix – my boss paid me for a few of the scenery prints and they still hang in the clinic – Amy asked if I would bring in a few more to put around the gym and treatment rooms – one of the pictures I brought in was the print of the B & B.
Yesterday a patient asked if she could buy the print – AWESOME AGAIN!
Unfortunately I don’t have a digital copy – was still working in film then – and I have no clue where the negative got to – prolly the same place as those pictures of Alyssa and I – and the scanner is seeming to have hiccups!
My parents are starting a new endeavor – Top O’ the Hill Farms – they are raising minis for milk. I am praying that it really takes off for them.
I mentioned earlier that my dad and I took a walk around their property with pictures to follow –
Such a beautiful place!
Last Friday I walked home after our snowstorm and took a few pictures on the way …
We drove to Athens Friday and spent the weekend with my parents – the pictures I posted earlier.
My dad and I took a walk around their property – some of it – and I took some winter shots – to be posted later. After our walk my dad stopped to say hello to their dog Buddy.
Jared and I left on Monday to come back to Mansfield and happened to see Chuck hit 8000 miles!
This past Friday we had another snowstorm and the clinic closed early. Amy and I had planned on making cookies Sunday afternoon but decided to move it up to Friday afternoon since we weren’t going to be at work. *E* and I rolled and cut out the cookies while Amy manned the oven and the mixing. *A* and *M* ran around and tried to clean up flour off the floor and do the dishes for us.
We made about 8 dozen cookies – *E* had so much fun helping out. Then we cuddled up on the couch and watched Cinderella until Jared came to pick me up. The *E* family asked us to go sledding with them that night – but Jared didn’t have any snow clothes – looks like what they had didn’t fit either.
We bundled up and had a great time. Mara and Mary came over to play ROCK BAND with us and introduce us to Mary’s dog – Chai. Chai is a great dane and we wanted to see what it would be like to have a full grown dane in the house – it will be FUN!
Saturday morning I had a senior session – which I will post later – and then Jared and I ran to Wellsboro to get his license renewed.
Jared and I went to his company’s Christmas dinner at the Antler’s last night – and then today we went to church and Lamb’s Creek for brunch – a great end to good weekend!
