My loyal followers know my oldest son was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall a little over a year ago and I had it all laid out & ready to scrap, slowly building over time.  This gave me a great opportunity to put it all together for him.  He's very happy with it so that makes it all worth it!

BigPictureClasses Challenge#3

Reflections.... so I took a bit of time to reflect on my youth, probably one of the best times I've had with my best friend I've had forever, Tricia.  She was not an outdoor girl, I lived most of my childhood outdoors.  I felt it was my job to show her my world.



This day we spend at Devil's Den State Park which is pretty close to where we lived.



All these years later and she is still one of the best friends I have ever had

My dad, Richard, loved the outdoors more than anything.






We spent many MANY weekend out & about doing something in nature.
