The lighting is terrible in these photos but I love them because of the candid moment they capture. Semisweet grabbed the camera Wednesday evening as […]

Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic for Sept. 17
As I was trying to decide what topic to use for next week’s Wordfull Wednesday two things kind of came together at once. I was visiting my cousin’s blog reading all her posts about visiting Mexico with my grandparents. At the same time my daughters were in the other room listening to music when the […]
