My Photo Blog
A picture speaks a thousand words, but sometimes a few words increases the impact of the story.
Spending the Summer With My Granddaughter
As a grandparent there is no greater joy than getting alone time with your grand kids (IMHO). I love that I have the ability to mostly set aside my work and give them my undivided attention. And I particularly love spontaneous outings to the park, the beach, the creek, for ice cream, the zoo or whatever they decide to do.
Mom's Love Language
As I get older I find myself full of appreciation and love for my mom. Growing up, this is the position I often found her in, but I didn't understand that this is her love language. Mom sewed all of our clothes she even made matching outfits for our friends. She made and designed the costumes for my dance class to wear when we danced down the parade route for the 4th of July. I designed a dress to wear for my senior prom and she created a pattern and stitched together what turned out to be not only my favorite "dress," but also one of my favorite memories.
Now, she is creating costumes that work for my photo series, and making clothes for my granddaughter. I hope that she will hold these memories of her grandma sewing as fondly as I do. And mom, I love you too.
