Interesting stone! Isaiah must have been quite young; she outlived him by a lot of years. Any idea who Charity was with when she crossed the Alleghany Mountains? Lots of white men? :-)

Taken early morning, this is a colorful sunrise reflected on trees:

A closeup of th dollar bill I tacked to the wall at the Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer, Alaska. I traveled there in May with Marilyn, the friend I went to Antarctica with back in 2006.

It reads:
From Antarctica

Jodi-

It's a bit like finding Waldo, but there I am - the tallest of the 3 white-haired ladies in the top left quadrant. I really enjoy seeing your pictures, Karen. You do an excellent job of portraying our beautiful city!

Wow Barbara, really? How cool is it that you are in one of my photos!

I found you Barbara! How cool is that?

What I think is remarkable, and I've commented on this before, we seldom see people in Karen's photos. So the odds just climbed a notch higher!

Jodi-

I took this picture of a beautiful sunset the end of October,I went out on our deck and I said to my husband wow look at that sunset, I got my camera, I'm sure glad I took it, they don't stay like that for very long. {{!gwi}}

I've been a lurker for a while now but the Kitchen Table is one of the first sites I check every day. I feel like I know many of you from reading your posts day after day. Now that I've made my "debut", both in picture and words, maybe I'll come out of the shadows.

And I meant to welcome you Barbara when I made my comment above. Welcome!

Jodi-

Now Barbara, you can't sneak in like that. You have to tell us a little about yourself. Do you have any hobbies? Do you like chocolate? Kids? Grandkids? Pets? I'm glad to have you here at the Kitchen Table with us.
I have 4 daughters, and 10 grandkids. 1 dog, and 2 cats. My hobby is Eastern Bluebirds, and raising their population.
