Sad Goodbyes

About a month ago I heard that one of my favorite bookstores would be closing. The sales have begun and the once quiet store is filled with customers looking for a bargain. No longer are the shelves neat and orderly but show the sign of hurried customers. Many of my favorite books are now gone. The coffee shop in the loft is now closed. I hold many fond memories of special times browsing the books and magazines, reading, relaxing, and spending time over a cup of coffee or tea with family and friends. Goodbye Borders.... you will be missed.

What a fun day it was getting up close with all the animals. Next time we'll bring more carrots. :)

Anxiously Awaiting A Package In The Mail

Hello readers,
I hope you are all doing well.

I thought I would share with you something that I am anxiously awaiting in the mail. I have been looking for a camera for a while but I wasn't really sure what to get. I have really been getting into photography lately and seeing the different settings you can use on DSLR cameras looked really interesting. Hopefully I can share some better pictures with you soon. :)
