This wall of flowers was so interesting to me as Douglas and I visited the Roman ruins in the middle of the city of Alicante, Spain. The Roman ruins are called Licentum Ruinas Romanas.

As I looked around the room at my grandchildren holding their children, I felt as though I had time-traveled into the future, not quite able to come to grips with the fact that the ones whom I used to change their diapers and give good-night kisses were already parents. It didn't seem possible that the... Continue Reading →
I am not a photographer, but I wanted to participate in this challenge, to present what happiness means to me. Happiness means being with family, especially new members like great-grandchildren. Below are four generations together on my birthday. Happiness is traveling the world with my husband, an adventurer if ever there was one. Thank God... Continue Reading →
