Summer Reading Challenge

5/27/2010

Ok, a challenge had been sent forth from Tracy for this summer. She has laid out the gauntlet before me to expand my reading genre and explore new pastures. Many of you may not know this about me but I am a huge Ted Dekker fan. I just finished Bride Collector and while it is not one of my favorites (like Three or Skin) it was still a good read! One of the suggestions for me has been Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I may have read this book but I read fiction really fast ‘cause I can’t wait to get to the end and I don’t retain as much as I should. The benefit of this is I can reread books and enjoy them the second time (or third as I have done before).


I have read and do read “regular” authors at times not just Dekker, Peretti or Lahaye. I enjoy Francine Rivers, Beverly Lewis and even Dee Henderson. Have you ever read Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs? It is based loosely on the Rachel/Leah story in the Bible… OH MY, what a tear jerker! The whole Lowlands of Scotland series is amazing!!


I haven’t started a fiction book since vacation but I have been reading Real Foods, The Revolution Will Not be Microwaved, and The Backyard Beekeeper. I also have my photography books/magazines that keep me busy. I guess I will take up the challenge and try something different! So what do you suggest??

Meet and Shoot

Because of the fact that we could not get into our vacation home until Sunday and also because I couldn't stand the thought of staying home when my husband's vacation started Thursday, we decided to take our time getting to Florida. We visited family the first day and had a great time. One of the things that I wanted to do was meet Tracy in person and do a "Meet and Shoot".  I contacted her and she worked out all of the details. She told me that she would be able to pick me up at the hotel and we would see what the day would bring. I was so excited!! Tracy was just what I thought she would be like and so much more! I learned alot and felt like I made a true friend! My only regret is that we don't live closer, but maybe it will give me a good excuse to get to the beach more often!! Here are some pictures of the day!





We worked on action shots and also on shutter speed.





We saw some interesting things and had a great time together! I had a blast!! Thanks Tracy!

Back in time

On our way to Florida, we stopped to visit family who live near Metropolis, IL. In 2003, we were there visiting and took a picture of my oldest with the Superman statue. He was 7 at the time. This time we were visiting, it hit me that my youngest son is now 7 and it has been 7 years since that first picture. Sooo..... I just had to take them again to compare!
