Should we?

Life’s been moving along this summer and the struggle has been on to not have every day be the same – so that the next thing you know the summer is over with nothing memorable happening. So in the first three weeks we’ve been having a summer movie series, a summer book club, been to a concert, gone to the pool, played mini golf, had a friend over for dinner, went for walks at the beach, had 4th of July in Williamsburg, and I replace one of our bathrooms’ floor and toilet. So I guess it’s been an eventful summer so far. The last few days fate decided to take over, though, and throw some memorable curveballs at us in which we had to make a decision. Did we make the right ones? Continue reading “Should we?”

Lunch Views

I like to take photos. I’m always on the lookout for something interesting to snap or some unique angle or perspective to record. I try to get out for lunch everyday during the work week – most of the time to the gym – sometimes for a bike ride or running on the beach – and I like to get a lunch view shot when the eye demands.

She had to audition to get into this orchestra, played in three concerts during the year, and went to weekly rehearsals from September – May. It was quite the experience and will start up again in the fall.

Memorial Day

My family and I spent this past Memorial Day weekend up in the mountains – hiking, exploring, watching sunsets, and always on the lookout for bears. We even saw one! We had a really good time. Traveling on this weekend has been a little tradition for us for the past 10 years or so. For … Continue reading Memorial Day

The Exam

*Post 2 in the look back at my long ago journal – and an entry I made on February 7, 1997*

In college I majored in accounting. I didn’t start with the plan of majoring in accounting. In fact, I was given a warning by a counselor at my college about majoring in business at all because “when you get a business degree you have to take accounting and you will have three hours of homework each night for every accounting class you take.” Continue reading “The Exam”
