This or That Thursday {Getting to Know Missouri}
Two days ago, while out driving with Miss 18, I got a little lost and ended up in a town called Burfordville. Burfordville is a sleepy little historic town which boasts one of Missouri’s few remaining covered bridges as well as a mill that was built in 1800, damaged during the Civil War and later…

This or That Thursday
My sisters and I spent most of our formative years in Italy (thanks to my stepdad and the United States Air Force) and while we were over there, my parents acquired many beautiful treasures ~ statutes, glass pieces, vases, etc. But the one thing they had that I always wanted was the marble and wood…
Photography {My Favorite Blogs}
My camera goes just about everywhere I go. I think that’s probably the most important thing that I’ve learned in the past few months that I’ve been reading photography blogs. I’ve also learned that I should practice taking my camera out of Auto and try shooting in Manual (not easy when you have no idea…
