From great color to no color........my first piano recital. I'm pictured with my teacher, a wonderful (and patient) family friend.

Not much in bloom in these parts because of so much rain for weeks but the fritillaria has bloomed.

Gazanias in the greenhouse love the sunny days.

fantastic pictures everyone. Alisande, you were always
so well dressed in cute dresses! I was always wearing my
big brothers hand me downs! LOL Nicole, I have a nice
place for her, too! She is a beauty!

Newport Beach, CA. Don't know these people, just loved the umbrellas and seagulls.

Jodi- who has yet to download her Panama Canal pics. Not enough hard drive spaces so I ordered a new laptop.

Thanks, Kat! My mom made all my dresses. I didn't appreciate that then as much as I do now.

Jodi, it would have been cheaper (but not nearly as much fun) to buy an external hard drive. :-)

Susan, I have two large external drive that are full. Besides, I needed a laptop for home. My old desktop is 8 years old. I've been using my work laptop up til now. Found a really good deal on a Toshiba laptop for $360, free shipping so I jumped at it.

A sparrow keeping an eye on me.

Wow, that is a good deal, Jodi!

Kat, very creative with that ice plant picture. (I wonder why they're called ice plants.......?)
