Danielle's Wedding

My cousin Paula's daughter got married this past Saturday, September 26, 2009. This is a picture of her Uncle Sam who lives in Florida. Her mother's brother. Sammy's Uncle Frank is behind Sammy in this photo.


This is Danielle dancing with her father Jim. I love this photo. They are both crying. You can still see the tear below Jim's right eye. What a precious picture.


This is Sammy and Paula dancing crazy.


A photo of Sammy and Paula. I was so happy to see Sammy, it has been so long. Paula lives about 20-25 minutes from me. Danielle was married on the anniversary of her grandparents Sam and Gracie whom both have passed on. Sam and Gracie are Paula and Sammy's parents. What a wonderful tribute to her grandparents getting married on their day.

This is the east tower where the children's ward use to be. I stayed in that tower as a child on the second floor.

Evidence of Fall

Fall is in the air. I love fall. You know when you walk on the leaves and they crunch? And the smell of leaves burning and the weather is cooling. Ahhhh nothing better.

Metro Parks

These are a few pictures I took on my walk in the park last week.

Bradstreet Landing. One of Lake Erie's parks in Rocky River, Ohio

A very drab and dreary Lake Erie. September 21, 2009. It is somewhat windy today with rain trying to push it's way in. The lake is very calm and the horizon matches with the same color gray. But I could sit there and watch the lake for hours.
