5 Year Anniversary!

In November of 2009, I tentatively started this blog. These past five years have been a wonderful journey. Thank you all for checking in. I love sharing my photos of light, love, food, drinks, trinkets, collections, art, travel and more. I hope you continue to stop by and leave me a note or two.

Our first workday: 9/9/2010

I miss you!

Sam

Pippin and I miss you so much. This past year has felt so long, and yet it seems you were just here yesterday.

Time to Contemplate

Estate Sale Finds

I find it so sad to see all of someone's junk laid out next to their prized possessions, all for sale and people pawing through it to find a bargain. You can still smell and feel the presence of the person who recently passed. You can see their life -- you're walking through their home! I try to be respectful, and hope that they'd be glad someone else is finding joy in their belongings, passing them on to future generations.

I Will Always Remember 9/11

...."To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go."

(by Mary Oliver)

Sam, the early years

I Miss and Love You So Much.

first day home from the Humane Society

I remember all your bookcase adventures, ...

box adventures...

Macy bag adventures, and more...

all your funny stretches and sleeping positions....
