Fun Weekend with a Friend

here is one of the lovely transitions of life...
          that someone I have known since their toddler days...      
                      

 someone who has sat on the other side of a school desk from me

 



 

 as handprint paintings were created for the walls,

 

      Yea for the dolphin sighting....(can you find it?...lol)...

 

and

math problems were solved with ease,

 

 

songs learned in sign language for Sunday worship,

 

 

and

non-stop chatter continued...

 and continued...

and continued some more;

 

     I so want to do this. Mish, bring Glory over!......

 

 

(Katherine, you were a chatter-bug!)

 

This same someone

can grow up into an accomplished, beautiful young woman

 

 

 

a fun-loving, world traveler,

 

 

who has evolved into a

friend

 

 

with stories to share,

 

 

world problems to solve,

 

 

 

both big and small.

 

 

What do we have in common, you may ask...

well,

 

God,

Gelato,

and Denzel...

 

need I say more

 





 









 

Katherine,

I can't wait to 'read' the next chapter of your life

Thanks for your gift of friendship.

It was such a fun weekend...

let's do it again!

 

P.S.

to protect the innocent,

I won't share the best quote of the weekend,

but the word "bachlorette" was involved.

 

 



"Photography by Lucas"

I googled

"Photography by Lucas"

and it seems this business name

has not being used yet.

 

Time to claim it,

and choose Lucas' career

for him...

 

 

                       Pet Photography?...he's your man...

                         Sports?...he's honing his skills...

                         Portraits?...he already knows the flattering angles...

                         Lifestye?...he's got his "rule of thirds" down..

                        Family portraits?...he can elicit a smile from a Princess...

 

 

So,

if you're located in NE Florida

and

have any photography needs,

you might want to check out

 

"Photgraphy by Lucas"

 

His price is right...

 

Just give him your i-phone

and

turn him loose!

 



A Star for Our Angel

 



"Perhaps they are not stars,

but rather openings in heaven

where the love of our lost ones

pours through and shines

down upon us to let us know

they are happy."

~Eskimo Proverb

To commemorate this day

a star

has been named in Jayce's honor.

 

And not just any star,

but one in the constellation,
 

Ursa Minor,

 

which contains the Little Dipper!

 

So, Christa & Robert,

whenever you glance up to the sky

and find that

very recognizable star formation,

just feel the love flowing down...

and let the happiness seep into your soul!

 

~~~

Since this really is a joint gift

for the two of you,

we officially declare today

Parent's Day!

 

Much Love from

Mom, Mish&Charlie, Jess&Peter, Rae&Joseph

 

 

 

 

 



Christa's Version of a Scenic Tour

 

 

Christa and I had

Lucas and Liv for the day,

so off we went for an adventure,

and

I turned the keys over to Christa...

 

Here is her tour of scenic historic St. Augustine...

 

 

When the paved road ends, keep on going...

 

Barricades! Now what?!?

 

 

"Uh, how DO you get out of here?!?

 

 

Turn around, obviously...lol

 

 

 

Christa,

I think you are definitely

off the beaten path!

 

At least now we know what street

NOT to turn down next time!

 

But at least now I know where a

 new graffiti wall

is next time I need one

 for a photo shoot!
