Picking Blueberries

On Friday July 23 we went up to Portland for the day. We went & picked blueberries & just had a great day. When all was done later that afternoon they got to have blueberry milkshakes. A great day was had by all.

Sometimes You Look Through The Lens & Capture Something Amazing.

I love to take pictures. It's a passion I've always had & I had an amazing teacher, my late husband Robbie. Every now & then u look through the lens, take a picture & when you upload them you realize you caught something amazing. That was how I felt when I saw this picture that I'd taken of my daughter while we were in Vermont. It's just one of those pictures that captures a moment/feeling in time. We were relaxed, having a good time together, walking on the water front when I stopped to take some photos. I didn't even know she was looking towards me until I uploaded the picture. It's one of my favorites now.

1/3 of a year already

So yesterday was a bad day around here. We are all tired which leads to all of the emotions being right at the surface. I realized yesterday morning that it was exactly 4 months since Robbie passed away, that means 1/3 of the first year has gone by already. There are days where it seems ages ago & then days like yesterday where it seems like it was yesterday. We are moving on & making steps to move forward with our lives but we also realize that there is a & always will be a hole forever in our lives no matter where we go or who we are with. Life has been forever changed.

Vermont 2010

So we are now in Vermont for the America Tree Farmer convention. This is a trip that Robbie was really looking forward to if Fun Forest had won the reginoal (sp) part of the tree farmer stuff which they did. Right now it's just Kayla & I as the rest of the family went to Maine for a few days. We are looking forward to them coming back. The picture is of the sunset we got to see last night. We are relaxing & enjoying ourselves.

One Lane Roads & One Lane Bridges - Adventure

So it was my bright idea one day that we should drive around the island of Maui while we were there. We didn't make it. We did have an adventure though. We drove the one lane road that on parts we didn't know if the Jeep was going to fit. The picture was taken while on that one lane road. Then when we got done with the one lane road we thought we should drive to Hana. The road to Hana is very curvy and has several one lane bridges. Another adventure. We got to Hana to find out it was a waste of time. We got lots of good laughs out of the trip, lots of memories & one great big adventure.
