I'm Happy When...

I'm happy when...

I'm picking flowers for someone

Arranging them in a vase

Smelling them

Planting them

Watching them burst with colors

Flowers make me Happy!!  : )

Happy You're My Dad

I’m Happy You’re My Dad

I feel safe when you are with me;

You show me fun things to do;

You make my life much better;

The best father I know is you.

I’m happy you’re my Dad

And so I want to say

I love you, Dad, and wish you

A Happy Father’s Day!

It's time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you in the picture. So it's time to post a picture of YOU (yes, you) every Thursday with your child, your spouse, your friend, your dog, or even by yourself. Just get in the picture, you'll be glad you did!

Baseball games have always been one of the great icons of American life.  Sing with me...

Take me out to the ballgame, take me out with the crowd,

buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,

I don't care if I never get back.

Let me root, root, root, for the home team,

if they don't win it's a shame.

For it's one, two, three strikes your out

at the old ballgame.

The Meeting Place

A Day At The Park

Over the weekend, we went to see our first O's game of the season at Camden Yards. We had great seats. Only 4 rows off of left field.

What a difference it makes when you're at eye level with the players. Toronto Blue Jays are up at bat.


The bottom of the 7th inning, the O's were down 7-3 and the crowd started thinning out. Unfortunately, it seems they're are on another losing streak and the fans lose hope easily. Sad, yes, but I was excited to see the row of seats across from our aisle empty. I was able to get right next to the fence of the bullpen and take some candid shots of the players.



I have no idea the names of the players. I don't have much time to keep up with the stats and new players these days. I didn't' recognize a soul. They didn't mind that I was taking pictures of them in their "down" time, though. One of the guys signed a ball and threw it over to one of the Mom's from our West Manheim Little League group.



One of the coaches (on the left side with sunglasses) shot me one those "c'mon lady, didn't you get enough pictures" look.



Nice play #10. Looks like he was smiling for me.

The girls and I tiptoeing through the historic Paw Paw Tunnel located on the C&O Canal, Paw Paw, WV. Even with a flashlight, I found myself treading lightly. I felt paralyzed without it. Darkness can really mess with your mind...especially if you're scared of the dark (I'm not naming any names.)
