On The Road

Taken on the way to Hecla, I was the keynote speaker for the Girl Guides of Manitoba's Leader Conference. I hadn't slept and I was so nervous. My mother drove me and watched my presentation. It was a really lovely day.

A Pile Of Happiness

This photo reminds me of all the things I want to get done and everything I have to do. Each stone is either a task or an opportunity. 

I need to write my bio for both my blogs as well as the about pages. It seems silly to be creating content everyday and not have those two things done. 

I want to begin painting several projects that have been floating in the back of my mind. My ideas like to whisper "make us, it'll be fun". But at the same time I have actual homework I need to complete. 

I'd like to have a story I wrote so long ago published. But to do that I need to get over my fears of rejection and send it out into the world. I also fear spelling mistakes and poor choice of words. 

I have a keynote speech and presentation to create. Two things I'm equally excited and nervous about.   

And of course there are two delightful little boys to cuddle. To clean, feed and rock to sleep. 

When I look at this photo it reminds me that I'm surrounded by a happy life.

Titles Are Hard

Titles are hard. That's what is going through my mind while I stare at these photos remembering the day I took them. A good day. 

To take the photo of my foot I stood on the edge of the dock leaning over a bit. Yuri held me in place so I didn't fall into the water. He comes in handy for that kind of thing a lot of the time. 

I also thought about naming  the post, My Favorite People, because I included Yuri and Rosie. They looked very photogenic that day.

I enjoy naming things but sometimes I'm at a loss for an interesting relevant title.  I'm probably going to start writing titles like help! trapped in a box... That's how I sometimes subject my emails to my mother. She's not always amused.

On The Docks

I think my next few posts will be taken from 2013 when I had a picnic with my family at Hecla Island. I took many photos as always and I've used a couple to create Wandering banner. 

The weather was terrible for a picnic but fantastic for taking pictures of foreboding clouds and a shifty looking pelican.

In The Middle

Two summers ago my family and I took a short drive to Hecla for a picnic. It was raining by the time we got there but we decided to stay anyway and have a nice time. 

I really enjoyed myself but I had a huge headache the whole time. 

We used my husband's truck to get everyone out there. My little sister Rosie and I had to sit in the middle.  Her in the front and me in the back.
