The Grand-daughter Day 43

My Sweet Nora-Nora - Day 43

We had one of my sweet grand-daughters for the weekend.  We had a wonderful time with her, and I think, the feeling was mutual.  Here she is just happy to be around us.

Macro Friday - Day 42

Fall Flowers - Day 42

Here are some beautiful flowers that are still in bloom down in the Phoenix area.  I couldn't resist a quick Macro shot for today.  To check out other macro shots, go to Blogging from Bolivia.  There are links to other photography blogs as well as some truly great shots!!

The Dancers - Day 41

Native American Dancers - Day 41

We went to a 50th anniversary celebration this past weekend.  One of the items of entertainment was the native american dancing.  I do not think that you can live in or grow up in Arizona without developing an appreciation of this wonderful art.  There were several different dances and I tried to catch the colors and enthusiasm of them all.  

We had a wonderful time and I must admit is was a beautiful evening.  

The Basket - Day 40

When Old things become New - Day 40

This old basket was bought again and used to decorate a table.  I loved the colors and the texture.  I love the fact that it has been "re-gifted" and "re-used".

Cookie Heaven - Day 39

A little bit of Heaven! - Day 39

Ok, I had to try and make these!  They were amazing.  A little more darker chocolate than I have ever made before and oh so good!  I posted the recipe on my other blog.  Go Here  for a recipe and directions!  I hope you love them as much as we do!

There is no way that the pictures can do these little goodies justice.  They were so good that  I ahem, the girls couldn't keep their hands out of them!

The centerpiece - Day 38

The Indian Pot - Day 38

This was an old pot used for a center piece.  I loved it.  I played with the colors to make them pop!  It only made me love it more.  I haven't used the saturation feature before to "fix" my pictures.  I had a lot of fun with this pot.

And with this one.  I toned down the brightness, but still brought out the color.  I think I just might love photoshop!!

Look Mom, I can Play! - Day 37

The Musician - Day 37

My daughter has always wanted to play the cello.  I finally broke down this year and bought her a new one.  She is loving it and she love having the opportunity to learn music.  Music is something that we all love and work toward.   Each of the children in my family have participated in music programs. Each of them has loved it in their own way.  These last little girls are no different.  They love the beauty and sound of a beautiful instrument.

All four of these children go to church with us.  They are Kayla's peers and her friends.

I think Kayla was trying to make sure we were watching.  

She was afraid I might not get there on time!

I love this picture.  She looks like she is at peace.
