Ghostly apparition in cemetery in Philadelphia

So we went on a haunted tour of historic downtown Philadelphia on our first full day there and one of the places we stopped to visit was this cemetery. We did not actually go into the cemetery, just stopped outside the closed gates while our guide told us stories of the spirits that have been seen here. I just put my camera up on the wall of the cemetery and took a photo and upon downloading to the computer this turned out to be one of the photos!!!
















Ok, I totally photo-edited the image of our tour guide into this cemetery photo........so don't go getting all excited!! I was just having some fun!!

Warm October Day in Salem, OR

I went downtown a couple of weeks ago on a Wednesday to meet a friend for coffee and it was such a beautiful day that we decided to walk through the weekly Wednesday Farmer's Market. I happened to have my camera with me and just couldn't resist taking photos of all of the beautiful colors of the market. A good cup of coffee with a friend on a beautiful fall day and an opportunity to look at beautiful things and buy fresh produce and flowers. Does life get any better than this??

Just wanted to put it out here!

Halloween Layout 2008

Our house all duded up for Halloween courtesy of Megan and her friend Maisie, along with a little help from big brother, Tucker!

Megan does it again!!

Just needed to put a shout out that Megan got STRAIGHT A's again this past 6 weeks. This is the second time she has accomplished this.......the first being the final 6 weeks of last year. This is remarkable because reading does not come easy to this child, but she works REALLY hard at it and it shows!! Keep rocking, my little Meg.......you make your Mama proud!

Ok, so I WILL eventually get these done up in a layout of some sort, but I wanted to get them posted out here on my blog. Got these two (half-brothers--they share a biological father) together for the first time in about 7 years). I was reminded, once again, of how amazing genetics are. Not only do these two boys look alike, but they seem to share a lot of similar personality traits, as well. Colin's Mom & I both enjoyed watching the two of them together and hope to do a better job of keeping the relationship up than what we have done in the past.

Meg & Lavendar

I love this photo of Meg and the lavendar taken at The Oregon Gardens. Just wanted to share.
