Home...and it is smokey!

The valley is full of smoke. It is crazy I have never seen it like this before, and I have been here since 1980. Here is a shot from Capay see the smoke?

My babies baby...and my little A playing the air drums while Daddy plays the guitar.

Kind of tired

We are in Chicago tonight, Melrose Park. I am kind of tired. We made good time today and drove a little over 600 miles. I am tired and ready for bed. I drove on the Chicago Skyway. That was kind of crazy but fun. I dont think Mom thought is was much fun ha ha...if not for Daniel (oh me and Mom call the GPS Daniel) we would have been lost.

Well I am off to bed because I cant think of much more to say...nite xxoo

Road Trip

We are in Newark NY tonight. Mom and I went site seeing today. We had fun. I am very tired, and looking forward to getting home.

The GPS has been a great help. Mom and I decided we needed the voice to be male though. So we changed it to Daniel a mans voice with an English accent. Daniel very kindly tells us how to get places, and we say thanks so much Daniel. Ha ha it is very funny.

Tomorrow we will get to Chicago. Cant wait to really get out on the road and start heading home. Below are a few pictures from today.

Joseph's Smiths house

Out side out hotel window...nice light

My Mommy is so cute

Frog Killer!

Me kicking Rich's butt in arm wrestling, I just cheated a little....not to much.

My Mom and I worked so hard today getting everything into my little car. We got up early, and filled it up just in time to miss the rain.

Then we went and delivered some pictures to people I owed. It was nice I got to show my Mom around a bit.

Then we went back to the house and worked more on cleaning and boxing for the UPS. We didn't get out of greenfield until about 6:30.

Norm got me a GPS for graduation, and because he was afraid I would get lost on the way home hee hee. But It was a big help. We stopped in a town called Palmyra. Mom wanted to do some site seeing there. It is kind of off the beaten path, we had to make like 8 turns...in the dark and in the rain. It would have been really hard if we didnt have the GPS. So THANKS Norm!


Oh you are probably wondering about the frog killer title. On one of the dark back roads I saw a bunch of leaves...or what I thought was leaves. But then I noticed one on them jumping! There were literately hundreds maybe thousands of frogs on the road. And I could not help but run over some....there was no way to avoid them...I feel bad. :-( I hope they died fast!

So tired...going to sleep now!

New personal work

Sisters

I have decided to work on some personal work. I really want to try to capture the essence of people. These are my first two photos in my new endeavor. Two girls, sisters, one 5 one 7. They look older than they are, they are so cute. I tried to capture their love for each other.

Motorcycle

I was scared to ride a motorcycle. But it turned out to be fun! Shhh don't tell my Mom I was riding on a motorcycle. Hey did you know the helmet law is a state thing, not a federal thing? CT has no helmet law...but you notice...I still have one on cause I am a cautious girl.

School

Off to school this morning. Today is the last day of reviews and we will get more instruction as to what will happen next week.

It is so green and pretty here in Greenfield. I don't know if I am ready for the dry yellow grass and intense heat of home yet. Or the fires! But I cant wait to see my family and friends.

Well off I go!
