My magic moment last week was going home for my parents 50th wedding anniversary.
I hadn’t seen my parents or sisters in person in at least 6 years and it was just a delight being around family and friends for such a joyous occasion.
The Minnesota weather was not too hot and the family got together [...]

After a long weekend of doing nothing but working and composing a slide show to music for my parents 50th anniversary, the main section is finally complete. All I have left is a few touch ups.

While working on putting together a slide show of old pictures for my mom and dads anniversary this summer, I have spent a lot of time looking at these old photos.

While walking in the park this week I noticed that they cleared all the tall grasses from one side of the pond so you could actually see the pond from the walkway. It was simply beautiful.
Most of the time there will be a few ducks or geese swimming along the grasses.
The city [...]

The sky was slightly overcast with a soft warm breeze that rustled through the leaves of the grasses and trees.

So many little creatures live here and we look forward to seeing them [...]
