Moving Forward.....

In case you were wondering.....

YES, I'm still alive, YES, I have been crazy busy the last two months, and YES I have a big announcement!!!  Are you ready for this??  You may need to sit down!!.....We have decided to sell our house!! That's right!!!  After a lot of going back and forth, we are finally moving forward with the decision!  So you know what that means.....we have been using a lot of tools like this....

To do several house projects like this.....

And this....

And this.....  

The sign will be in the yard this month!!  So until then, blogging may be sparse!  But don't worry, I'll be back soon with lots of great DIY posts and photography!!!

Hands.....

There is a sense of fulfillment when you take a photo that needs no words to express the emotion that was intended.  It's even more amazing to see someone else view your photo and put into words exactly what you wanting to convey.......

Hands

One frail hand, wrinkled and worn,

grasping the tiny fingers of her

first great-great grandchild.

Hands, shriveled and spotted,

caressing the small, soft hands of this child

soothing away the cares of the day.

Fingers, ancient and arthritic,

curling around the chubby fingers of the babe

she would never see grow into a woman.

Hands, veined and vulnerable,

imparting with aged eloquence a touch, a memory

of two lives entwined for a moment.
