One of my bestest friends, Becky, LOVES red heads, and this one served us lunch across the street from St. Andrews school where Prince William attends college...Scotland grows them the best. I took this picture with her in mind! Love ya girl!  

My wonderful friend Joey taught me how to whistle with fingers in my mouth, my fingers...! And I'd been working on it for a while, but I'm sure during the trip I would have made more friends if I hadn't have been working so hard at getting this right. You could barely hear any sound before, but it's pretty loud now....like I needed any help with being heard! It's fun though. I am standing in the court yard of the same ruins where the picture of the empty bench was taken. B-E-A-U-tiful place!  

Unused church in down town london...I entered this pic and 8 others, including the others from this trip on this site now, but this one got me a Third Place Ribbon in an art show at college! 

St. Andrews, Scotland, went there for school this past spring break... AWESOME trip, these are castle ruins by the North Sea 

This is a city in Scotland in it's darkness, and I mean that in two ways 

Trees for private thoughts...

There are some occurrences in life—I think—that need to be shared for common interest's sake (online blog or IM, for instance). A sense that others go through the same life lessons we must endure is comforting. It keeps us all understanding that we indeed are still on planet earth and have plenty of company to satisfy our companionship requirements. Renders of these occurrences can be written in a humorous way for a source of entertainment even. A great choice if one chooses that route!

But there are bumps in life that need smoothing over in private (in person or handwritten in a journal, for instance) because content could prove to be embarrassing to one or both parties. I hope to never cross that line. Comment boxes are provided for that very purpose.

Starting again

There are things in my life that have brought me back to the place where I'm reminded of blogging, so this will be something I’ll update more often.

Circumstances created by physical space make it problematic for friends and family to be able to check up on how things are going in my life, especially my oldest younger brother who is going to serve our country in Iraq as an MP. Bro, this is for you.
