home....and lots on the list...
There are so many benefits and gifts that traveling has given my family and I. My child has been the recipient of so many of these great lessons and growing experiences...all that being said....we are a family that loves being at home. The time that I spend traveling always allows me the opportunity to start those mental lists of all the projects that i need to start or finish. I try not to put so much on those lists....otherwise i would just become CRAZY...
So, here I am after over a of week traveling and exhausted...I will start getting things done "tomorrow"....always a flexible date that is subject to change.
One of my first projects is to take more photos with a new camera that I recently purchased. I would like to make more of a commitment to a daily blog, add some great photos, design a great space, and hopefully, write some about some interesting things. My new camera is easier to download to the IMac that my larger,cumbersome, older camera.
Stay tuned...maybe things here will be changing sooner than later...

latest read
I am just finishing the latest book written by a favorite author, Pat Conroy called South of Broad. He has written many great novels, The Prince of TIdes was so good that I read it twice and could not put it down, I had tears falling down my face as I read about this sad family that endured so much sadness and tragedy.
South of Broad included some of that same sad tragedy...as well as much of the same character strength. I did not have tears, but I came to love my nightly quiet moments of opportunity to read Mr. Conroys written word.
As I come to the end of a great story that has been written with strong characters I always feel that I need to take a break before starting to read my next book. I am not sure if this is to digest the story or possibly out of respect for the characters. Almost as if a friend had passed on. It is on these nights, as the pages become fewer and fewer, that are left unread, that i start to slow and stall. I don't want this story to end....I want to the characters that i have gotten to know and spend time with to continue to live on....i want to continue on their journey with them....and them with me.
