20 from 2020: Remembering and Celebrating
I’ve been thinking about the year 2020 a lot. And, like many people, I’m guilty of just blanketing all of 2020 with negativity, when – in fact – this is not true. Yes, there have been some disappointments and I’ve shed more than a few tears this year, but I’ve also laughed a lot. I’ve probably talked to my kids more this year than in previous years since they all moved out of our house. My grandkids have kept us entertained through videos, pictures, and telephone calls. The Hubs and I have cooked more meals together and gotten into a nice little kitchen cleanup routine. And I’ve learned to let…

My Favorite Moments from 2013 {In the Cafe}
So, here it is, the last day of 2013. This is all kinds of crazy. I mean, I know time passes but, gosh, doesn’t it seem like the older you get the more quickly time passes?

I’ve since graduated from taking pictures with my cell phone to using a GE X500 to a Nikon D3100. Over the past year, I’ve participated in many photography challenges (I even had a picture make it into the Top 5! Woo hoo!), started following a few photography blogs and tried to challenge myself to look at ordinary things…

Posts {The Best of 2011}
Last year, I wrote a post called 2010: The Best of Living Outside the Stacks, where I went back over the year and picked out my favorite posts from the year and I thought I’d do it again this year. It’s a fun way to look back and see how much life has changed over the past year. And, boy, let me tell ya, we’ve had some changes this year: my family moved half way across country, I took up photography and, most importantly, we found a church home. It was nice to be able to go back and relive the memories, the excitement and the ohmygosh what did we…
