We must remember to look at the world through the eyes of the innocent children.

Enjoy these moments in life... as these are the memories to be treasured.

I know I'm batty but now I've found a place to hide. The Bat House... Seriously, I photographed this bat house along the river last week and now notice that these bat houses have prime real estate along the river's edge. Bat Conservation is an important part of the environment. One bat can catch hundreds of mosquitos an hour. Anything to ward off those nasty mosquitos. A public service post!

As beautiful as this is, I am so suffering from allergies this spring. Just took a Zyrtec, let's hope I survive spring.

I am insecure. Very insecure. When I worked at my prior job for 22 years, making great money, having insane responsibilities, managing teams of people on four continents and making split second decisions, I secretly thought that it was just a matter of time when someone would say, "What is she doing here?" "Off with her head!" "Out the door she goes!" In my mind, I felt as though I did not belong and soon I would be discovered as a fraud and then completely become exposed to the shame of the scam.

I happen to think that my walls are surrounding me to protect the delicate balance of my life. Let the truth be known, there was a point in my life that I did not even acknowledge the existence of such walls until much later in life. Walls. A defense mechanism to ward off hurtful and evil things. I love my walls. It is my choice who to allow inside the vast concrete walls. Hurt me once and I build taller, stronger, deeper walls. Show me kindness and perhaps I will chip away at one or two bricks, b...

Over the years, I tend to take photos of really amazing drinks I've had all over the US. This one should stump most everyone. It is a margarita, yes, but is it a Avocado Margarita which should blow every one's mind. Aside from the obvious tequila, the drink was smooth, very smooth and thick and creamy. Yes, I would have another in the future!

There is nothing cuter than when these two pups dine on a plate of spaghetti and slurp up the same noodle. I can't wait to watch this movie with Jack. Happy Thursday, everyone!
