Vintage Me-Hemmed in Prayer

Wow! It's been a while.  I've made a post like this before, but this time I'm really hoping it sticks.  I pay way more attention to my life when I'm thinking about making posts.  They are solely for my entertainment, but I hope someone finds them fun, interesting, entertaining, etc.  I am a blessed woman.  Things are not always perfect, but God is always good :) So here we go again with postings from my oh-so-imperfect life.

I used to carry my DSLR everywhere. (It was a sweet, humongous Sony Alpha 100) I remember going to NYC with friends a few years ago.  The only souvenirs I was interested in were the pictures I'd come home with.  Sadly, that trusty friend went belly up and I was left with cell phone photography.  While it has its merits, the joy of snapping cell pics just doesn't come close to the feeling of using an actual 2 pound camera with all it's paraphernalia.  I replaced my beloved friend with another Sony Alpha last year, but I joined the up-grade club and got a 700.  I lack the determination and brain cells to use this camera to its full potential, but I get by and love reviewing the memories I capture.

This past June, my daughter and I got to travel to Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.  I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty fantastic! (Although Texas is still the best place in the world :) It's been a long time since I've used BlogSpot so it will take a little more time than I have now to get familiar with how to easily manage and upload my pics, but don't worry, you'll get the unabridged story of our trip soon.

You may also encounter a few political rants, summaries of books and T.V. shows and movies I love, random pieces of glorious junque I find and, of course, many snaps of my extremely cute children.  Comments are always welcomed.
