Classic

We just downloaded the card from the little point-and-shoot camera that Allan typically uses to document the big and small moments of our lives.*  The contents of the card go way back to last summer.  And of course there are some great photos and tons of movies.  But this is a CLASSIC (SOO said C). 

It is the type of photo that you find years and years later and a favorite.  Not because it was taken with the 1.4 fixed lens and has the fancy bokeh or captured the light beautifully (because it doesn't).  Not because the photographer used the rule of thirds (trust me...he wasn't).  But because the scene captures an every day moment in time...the season, the fashion, the neighborhood, the walk home from school. 

I could certainly do some editing...brighten it up and crop it...and maybe I will.  But I might just let it be and enjoy it for what it is.  LOVE the authenticity.  LOVE the CLASSICS!

*mostly small and technical - as in documenting our exterior plumbing and other home repairs and do-it-yourself engineering feats.

Dogs' Best Friend

My sister-in-law, Candy, is a dog's best friend.  According to my husband she has always loved creatures great and small.  She adores her JRTs:  Chips, Scout and Mandy.  Founded a not-for-profit JRT Rescue) and continues to dedicate oodles and oodles of time, housing, money, love and attention to dogs that need help.  And is always willing to take a couple more (in the form of our wiener dogs) when we vacation.  Candy and her home provide the perfect place for respite.

We had the opportunity to hang with Candy and the dogs recently and caught some cute snaps (see the highlights here).

Cheers to Candy...Dogs' best friend!

Congratulations
