Dentist Day


Some would call today a bad day and others a good day. It was a dentist day. If needles aren't involved, I unlike my mother, love to go to the dentist. And, leaving without having to come back in a few days makes it all the better. :)

No, I'm not this enthusiastic about the dentist normally, but it was the most exciting thing that happened today... :)

Tried something different with editing today too...

Oops...


I'm going to share an embarrassing story with you all. This pie was not meant for my family, but we ate it...all of it. *sheepish grin* I made it for a neighbor but the tapioca didn't seem to dissolve like it was supposed to. Having never made this pie before I wasn't sure if it even tasted good either! And, with all the "what, you didn't make that for us?? from my brothers, how could I resist cutting a slice. Pie number two for the neighbors starts tomorrow and this time it's getting over there. Oh, did I mention it was delicous?? =D

SpringTime


In this wonderful Florida weather we have done here, I spent the day with my brothers around town and eventually ended up at the park. I must be a Florida girl if I'm okay with about a month of cold weather. However, I must say it's always the weirdest feeling the first time you sweat at the beginning of the year. I won't complain though :)

A Day's Adventure


What an absolutely odd day it has been! I started out going over to my neighbors house to get some wood cut. The wood was for the base of the center piece in this picture. After a few futile attempts at trying to get smooth cut circles, my neighbor called a friend. So we jumped in the car, and ended up at a sawmill in Eustis. We walked around in about a foot of sawdust as far as you could see. And, found a bunch of Ostridge's staring at me. They were the creepiest things. Even though I knew they were behind a fence and I was safe, the fact that their necks stuck through them about three feet was just weird... Seriously stinks that I didn't have my camera with me :( However, this picture is the finished product of my days adventures :D

Try It Once More


I would be lying if I told you I don't have my discouraging days. Sometimes I feel like quitting and that what I'm doing simply isn't making a difference. But then, I remember who I'm doing it for. And, that even though I'm one small person, my God is bigger than any problem or discouragement. All He asks of me is my heart and to step out in faith and He'll take care of the rest. May I ever rest in His arms, not striving on my own. Because I simply cannot do it on my own.

Immersed


It's been an entirely long day! My ability to be so immersed in one thing gets on my nerves when it comes to editing. Especially when my special man comes over to spend time with me and I with all my heart want to but I must tell him that he needs to drag me away from lightroom. I just get so excited with new pictures :). I do however put a limit on it, so I did get to spend lovely time with Lukey tonight. :) Goodnight world!

New In The Old


I took my first bike ride ever of the Minneola trail head today. So fun! Especially in this wonderful weather we've been having. Having a special friend to do it with always helps too :). How time flies when you're lost in conversation. =)
