I had many life events growing up that I wish had been documented, but we didn't have the means. All that remains of my childhood are bits and pieces from the few photographs that were taken.
I was determined to ensure that my kids didn't suffer the same fate, so I learned how to create slideshows and burn them to DVD. I also discovered a way to use photos creatively in printed materials. Thus a hobby was born. It didn't take long for me to realize that photos and videos sometimes fell short in preserving the stories. I created this blog for that purpose.
In upcoming posts I'll relate a few things in my life that are memorable. I'll tell the story of a little boy's redemption and another about an event related to my worst fears. One of my favorites is the Grandma Tree, a story explaining what Sept 11 and a chamilia shrub have in common. Others around me will have their stories told as well. I'll even share some events involving Sasha, Cody, and other family pets that lived their entire lives with us. If you follow this blog, there will be an occasional surprise meant especially for you....but more about that later.
