This is what 3000 photo corners looks like. I am dreading the fact that these babies are NOT self adhesive...
they are a must for the heritage project I am starting on, but wow... will have to find a way to moisten these that does NOT involve licking them.

Day 75 ~ 9/13/11
These innocent looking shoes go far beyond the reaches of stinky... these dawgs smelled like 3 day old roadkill during summer time in Oklahoma! This is where you are VERY thankful that this is NOT smell-o-vision. We contemplated putting these in the trash, however, a four hour soak in bleach water did the job. They live to stink another day.
Day 74 ~ 9/12/11
All in all ~ not a fun way to end the day. Morgan's iPod was frozen in recovery mode....took me until almost 2 in the am to get it right and FINALLY able to restore.
;P

Day 73 ~ 9/11/11
ten years later. I did not take this photo. I still felt that today is a day of tribute, again. This time to the day in history that changed our country forever, re-shaped us as Americans.
My thoughts are most closely echoed in this quote from Rudy Giuliani
"The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic, and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom." -Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of NYC

Don't cry over spilt milk! Morgan was making some chocolate milk and spilled some as he was pouring his glass of milk. It make a VERY interesting splatter pattern. We were both so facinated! I had to post this splatter.... we did not touch it, this is exactly how the milk spattered when it hit the counter! Pretty Cool!

No great works today. Just a tribute to my grandmother ~ my Hanner Mommie. Today she left this earth, she was 89 years, 4 months and 19 days old. She went peacefully in her sleep, awakening in Glory today. You will be missed Hanner, but I know that you are being greeted by such wonderful sights. You are not ever to be confused again nor will your vision fail you and trick you any longer. I will rejoice and continue to prepare myself for the day we will be together again.

A neat photo from a heritage album that Craig's grand-dad put together. I am in the process of photographing it so that I can transfer all the photos into a acid free album so that they will be preserved better. This photo is of the Graf taken from the air, with the Goodyear blimp flying over the Graf as well. It is an awesome photo that Daddy Stan took!

About Me
- ~ Kista
- I'm just a bit off center, pretty much all the time! I am loud, fun, wild and crazy ! I married the love of my life over 30 years ago and we have two great kids, and two beautiful grandkids! We always have pets around as well. I work full time outside the home, have a home based business with The Gourmet Cupboard and I volunteer in my community on a regular basis. I enjoy photography and cooking, with a little talent in both interests...
