New Baby- 2011 Camaro convertible

2012-02-27T23:30:57Z

Last July, my hubby and I decided to buy a Camaro convertible, since we were empty nesters. We made a joke about it, telling people that we were "going through a midlife crisis, and that we were celebrating it together!" ;O)

I am learning how to use my new Canon T2i Rebel. These sunsets were shot through a truck window, as we were moving on the highway.

These little guys are my son's dogs. I took care of them for a week, while my son was on a cruise. My son lives in NYC, so the dogs are in an apartment of good deal everyday. Boy, did they enjoy getting out every hour, hour and a half to run around in the field without a leash!

These pics were taken with my iPhone. Unfortunately, I didn't get my new camera until Christmas. I spent 4 1/2 weeks in Burkina Faso, Africa this past summer. I was with a group of from the States. I spoke on leadership, and preached at several meetings. I have been invited to Liberia to speak on leadership, hold women and youth meetings and teach writing to university students and pastors writing. So, I plan on going in this September (2012).

Train tour of the United States Nov. 1 -Dec. 15, 2010

I stepped on the Amtrak train on November 1, 2010 to go to Anaheim, CA for a colloquium for Capella University for my PhD. I needed to get out and about for a while. So, I am taking a tour on the Amtrak trains through the country. I have 18 stops total. I have already seen California, San Antonio TX-The Alamo, the Tower of Americas, and the Riverwalk. Then I went to Chicago, IL. and went up into the formerly known Sears Tower, which is now Willis Tower. I even went out on the Skydeck. I am arriving in Flagstaff in 2 hours, for 3 nights, so I can see the Grand Canyon. Then I will be off to Portland, OR to see the city. After there I go to Seattle to see the Space Needle. Then down to Colorado, where I will pick up a car rental for 10 days so I can see Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota~ Mount Rushmore, then on to Nebraska to visit a friend. At the end of the 10 days I will be returning my car to Denver and get back on my train. Go to Chicago for a night and then on to Syracuse, NY. Celebrate my 22nd wedding anniversary. Then go to Maine. I will end my trip on December 15. Here are a couple of my pics from San Antonio. PEACE~LOVE
