A road trip with my daughter and a visit with my brother... afternoon rain was welcome as it cooled down the 99 degree temps.

Look who followed us home last night

June was busy indeed! There were two very important graduation celebrations and they brought the family and friends out to share these special life moments!

My daughter completed her college degree and set off in the world of broadcasting... she worked hard on developing skills and craft in media, may she succeed and be fulfilled!

My great-nephew graduated from HS and will continue on with his education at university!

This photo speaks to me of both their achievements and the beginnings of new adventures... Oh the places they will go!


I planned on sharing this photo with Kateyeview's Photo Heart Connection, but looks like I missed it!

Pick a seat...

As I posted this photo the song "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" just popped right into my head. It's an oldie and I'll probably be humming it for a week.

And if we try to leave may God send angels to guard the door
