Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Photographer, I am not

Once again, I'm too busy to blog!! I'll just share these pictures for now. My co-worker/friend, Phyllis, asked me if I'd take her picture as a gift to her husband. I'm not a photographer, but I'm excited that she felt I could do good job. So here is Phyllis... She requested that her eyes be lavender. I can do that!! I use Picnik for photo editing. Check it out.
Isn't she beautiful?

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Past & Present

Whether you're new to this party or not, make sure you review the Toot Your Horn Rules on the left side bar!

Sometimes I just can't believe that I have a child who is about to turn 18. He's a senior! Shouldn't I still be in high school? Wasn't I just sitting in Ms. Pace's 12th grade English class? ARGH!
Look at him! He's so tall and handsome! And this past weekend, I drove up to Northern Virginia to hear him perform with Virginia's All State Chorus, directed by Dr. Z Randall Stroope. Talk about a proud Momma!!
And who's that woman standing with us in the picture, you ask?

It's Kelly! She lives in Northern Virginia and has a beautiful guest room. (Not to mention, the most luxurious bath towels) She's one of my best friends from HIGH SCHOOL! We spent the whole weekend together. (The rest of the family stayed home.) What a great time we had! Mostly just talking talking and more talking. (A lot of laughing and a little singing too, how about those 80s!?) See, there we are...our senior year in high school.

How blessed I feel for friendships that keep me feeling young!
