More to come...

Snow at Twilight

These were taken a couple of weeks ago. There is something so peaceful about a snowstorm. The sounds of the city seem to be swallowed by the blanket of clouds and the falling snow, and the world feels so much more tranquil, serene, still...

The VW version of a facelift

Remember this car? It's been quite a while since I've driven it - 2 years! Well, it's undergoing a major, dang near pan-off restoration, courtesy of my amazing husband.

*Note- the first 4 shots were taken with a point and shoot almost 2 years ago.



And it begins...


If you notice in the first shot, the side windows are one piece, i.e., there are no wing windows. The green doors you see here are so that we could get the wing windows back which are original to the car.


You can see the wing windows here.


Here is where we are now. Body work is complete, it's painted with primer and ready for color in the temporary paint booth in our garage.





Stay tuned for updates!

Progress

My great-grandmother was a wonderful and very insightful (and feisty) woman. She loved life which I believe is why she made it to the fantastic age of 92. These photos make me think of her because she used to say...

"When I was young, smokestacks were called progress and now they're just pollution."

These shots were taken in South-Western Wyoming in the summer of 2008 with a Canon 5D.

Amelia = chubby little sausage toes...

Oh, I'm a sucker for any plump little baby with yummy little sausage toes. I can't get enough of those little dimples on their knuckles or the no wrist armbands... nom, nom, nom.

I miss this precious age with Evie. Her delight in finding some delicious toes, her contentment after a nice meal and a good nap, or her sheer excitement at watching her reflection in the mirror.

*Sigh* Goes by in a blink...
