About Me

My photo
I am a person who loves life and loves capturing it in pictures and recording it in many ways. I have been happily married for over 40 years to my wonderful husband Mike. We have raised 4 daughters, were foster parents for 11 years and are now raising 2 of our grandchildren. They are the love of our lives and the light in our eyes. At this time in our lives, we would expect to be planning for retirement, but instead we are planning for the future of these children. Starting over so to speak. At the ripe old age of 50, I found myself as a mom of a pre-schooler again so it's the second time around for us, thus my title. We attend church and teach Sunday School. Life is never dull, as you can imagine. Enjoy the pieces of our lives and allow this grandmother some bragging rights occasionally, ok very often.

Name Art

I received a housewarming gift today from my Alabama BFF (thanks Karen) and it is AWESOME. Let me share.....



It's our last name.....she went around our beloved campground and found the letters that spell BLACKWELL. How cool is that? Here's a closer look.....


B and L

A and C (the C was ivy growing out of a tree)

K and W

E (really cool tree)

L and L (the last L is actually our dock)

I think this is one of the neatest gifts I have ever received. Now I just have to find a spot worthy of it in my new home. Thanks again Karen, you are the best!!
