Don't ask me why, but when I woke up around two a.m., this morning, the thought popped into my head that "'dorph hadn't mused in awhile". If I had turned on the computer, then, I would have seen that you had.

That's a beautiful picture and your niece is lovely. Her older sister could also maybe have a photography career.

As to the weather, the sooner October gets here, the better I'll like it.

What a delicate little beauty!!!!! She is lovely.

Such a lovely niece! You are blessed, Michael
As to musing of moving to the Northwest, not going to happen, sound good and attractive but family and history makes you a Southerner, don't think you could thrive elsewhere.
Keep on musing

little Aphrodite. Very mighty indeed.

Glad you're a good role model for career choices dorph.

Michael, what a great photograph of your niece.
I know how much family means to you and they are that magnet that keeps you close by.

All my life I have secretly longed to throw caution to the wind and move. I would have loved to have lived in a small village in England, Scotland or Ireland.
Belize would be another destination I could have lived for
a while.

OH! Shoot, Lilo's right. My southern roots grow too deep and
here I will live the rest of my life, but then again, who knows?

Young Greek or Roman goddess? Is she the one that plays piano? You could visit the northwest for a while.

This one is just beginning to learn to play. She quite the little singer, though. All three are. It's the 18 year old who loves to play the piano.

Thought you might like to see a picture of the 16 year old. She is now showing poise beyond her years. I took this picture a few weeks ago at the family reunion. Not my best picture, but it's hard not to take a good picture of her.

She's a very pretty girl. Now, may we also see a picture of the one who plays the piano?

The 18 year old is picture shy so I don't have many individual pictures of her. At least none that are recent.

Classic beauties both! The photo she took of the youngest shows quite an eye.
