About Benny

 I'm currently hooked on digital photography and creating photo books, mostly for myself and my family. The photographs provides a little "community glue" for all the people I love! I won't even let the ECONOMY keep me from taking pictures and making memories! I love this hobby!

I welcome you to browse my humble site.

SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL

Three Wise Monkeys>
DO NOT SEE, DO NOT LISTEN, DO NOT SPEAK
The phrase in Japanese is Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru

The proverb is simply regarded as a Golden Rule.
Remember not to be SNOOPY, NOSY, and GOSSIPY!
We can also make a choice of not seeing, hearing or speaking of evil things.

Because America is facing severe declines in morality, I need to make sure that our grandchildren's minds get exposed to only positive stories and thoughts! We should remember that "evil" is an integral part of the "devil."

Benny,
Thanks for coming to check out my Halloween albums. I always enjoy reading your nice comments.

I loved your new pictures of Julia doing gymnastics. She is getting so big. How old is she now?

I bet it was fun to see all the grandkids openind up the gifts. They are at such a fun age. :)

Benny,
Hi! How are you doing? I wanted to stop by to wish you a Happy New Year! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Any travel plans for 2012? We are hoping to do a little road trip in August to Hilton Head Island, Virginia Beach, or Ocean City, MD. Right now Marina is in Venezuela she paid for her own trip. She left on Christmas day and will be back on Wed. I miss her so much! :( We do get to talk on the phone because I have Vontage, then we blackberry messenger each other, send facebook messages to each other, and email each other at least 15 times a day. Thank God for technology. :)

Benny,
How are you doing? How are your grandkids and kids doing? I hope you enjoyed the summer. Are you ready for fall yet? It was my 1st summer in Indiana and I loved the beaches here. The past 2 months have been hard to adjust to having my 19 year old son Joe 500 miles away and for my almost 17 year old daughter to have to adjust to leaving EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE behind in NY. She started her junior year with over 2000 strangers. I hope and pray she meets some really nice friends here in Indiana. I was just thinking of you and wanted to stop by! Thanks so much for checking out my Porter County Indiana Fair page. I am having lots of fun exploring this area! Have a great week! :)

Benny,
WOW! Lillian is getting so big! She's beautiful! How have you been? How was your Easter?
Sorry I have been MIA. Life is so crazy right now with our moves(3 moves in 3.5 weeks with Rob moving from the small Indiana apartment to the bigger family apartment, moving Joe into his 1st apartment in NY since he wants to continue to go to colllege and work here in NY, and then moving our family to IN finally.) I have been going on 36 hours stretches with like 2 hours of sleep and off running again. My body is so sore. I will try to catch up as soon as things calm down.
Rob and Joe went to CA to visit our relatives and had so much fun! They went to the San Diego Zoo and loved it. Have you ever went to the San Diego Zoo? Then they went on their 1st father/son cruise. They went to Avalon on Catalina Island and to Mexico. :)
Hope you have a great week! :)

Benny, I just viewed your three wise monkeys book, and found it incredibly good! I loved the photos of the children covering their eyes and mouths! Then you get to the serious part where you show what all the different activities the kids are doing in school! I know your family must love you a lot for making these beautiful books for them, it must make them feel very special! I love your photography, Benny! I have always enjoyed your books about the different countries you have been to also! I hope this finds you, and all of your family in good health, and having a great 2011! You must love your family very much!!!! Debbie

Hello Benny. I am a bit tardy but wanted to stop and say a 'hello' to you and Ruth and wish you and your family a wonderful 2011. Thank you for your good wishes, also. They are always so welcome! HAPPY NEW YEAR and may 2011 be filled with the love and wonders of your family and friends. My best, Barbara Jean

Benny,
Happy New Year! Thanks so much for all your kind comments on my new site! You always make my day with your heartfelt comments! I hope you have a wonderful 2011 filled with lots of love, fun with family, new adventures, friendship, success, lots of joy, peace, & happiness! Can't wait to see what 2011 adventures you and your family will go on! :)

Merry Christmas Benny!!! I apologize for not making it here to extend Christmas greetings sooner, time escapes me lately. Could be because I have spent my time off chasing a three year old, she has more energy than I have ever had!! A joy to be around though.
I pray the your Christmas was a joyous one, surrounded by family!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Benny!!!!

Benny,
Thanks for the Christmas wishes! A new shutterfly photobook to ring in the new year sounds like the perfect evening. I will be alone again for another holiday since Rob moved(relocated for work) in Aug. He missed Labor Day, 1st day of school, our anniversary, Marina's 16th bday, sweetest day, Thanksgiving, and now New Years Eve, & New Years day, etc. We have only been together the 4 of us for 2.5 hours total for the past 4.5 months. Its been extremely difficult having Rob miss out on so many important events and holidays with him being 500 miles away. I am so grateful I have all my Shutterfly Friends and Shutterfly to get me through these tough times in my life. I was thinking that since I will be alone that I will work on photobooks! Marina and I just got back from our 1st mother/daughter trip and cruise. I got so many amazing photos with my 1st DSLR camera(Nikon D90). It was such a fun trip and so nice to get away from the snow and cold. We both enjoyed each others company so much and it was nice to get away from all the stress. I will be posting tons of photos after Christmas.

Rob is home briefly and has to leave Christmas afternoon so we will be off to the airport this time tomorrow. He is busy getting icicles off the sides of the house so I thought I would stop by real quick!

Hope you and your family have a wonderful, relaxing, quiet, happy, & joyful Christmas filled with lots of love! Merry Christmas! I look forward to your Christmas photos! :)

Benny Benny Benny, I'm always so amazed by your books. They all have a message to them and i look forwrd to your books. I wish you & your wonderful family a magical Christmas and a New Year filled with many more amazing moments captured!

Dear Benny, wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season. This isn't my normal "book" of a comment, but I am getting a bit tired. I decided to stay up all night for some silly reason and it's starting to catch up with me. I think I need a nap at 9 am!!! LOL!

I wanted to wish you a lovely holiday and then here I found your WONDERFUL Holiday Page. How nice that you all wished me a nice holiday in a very sweet way. The kids are having so much fun and doing all the different activities. What a treat to see! The parade, the gingerbread houses, the skinny snowman...I LOVE THAT!!!... all are wishing everyone who visits a Happy Holiday! Thank you for putting that page together for all to share and enjoy. My best to you and Ruth.

Oh my, Mr. Benny, but this site is an absolute jewel! I have been meaning to come visit for quite a while, and I am so glad I did.....AMAZING! These large shots of Lily are enchanting. You have 3 of the most beautiful grandchildren ever....they have such captivating eyes!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. And I wanted to thank you for your ever-so-kind comments on my latest SF book.

I am so in awe of you enthusiasts who can create such detailed share-sites, and then actually keep them current. I have looked at "remembering the past", "kids" and "cuteness" so far. All are jam-packed with beautiful photos of your whole life.....I can barely keep one page current. You have a real talent for page design! You have inspired me to get back and work on my site some more! Thank you for that!!!

Stay well, my friend, Karen/Scrapsage

Dear Benny, I wanted to stop by and wish you and your wonderful family a very Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you get to spend time with your family and friends throughout the weekend! Being with those you love is one of the most important things I can think of...and your site it full of that, so I bet you might agree with me.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Things are about the same around here. It is the 'same old, same old'. My daughter is going to try to step in and pull some strings. I'm ready to throw up my hands, pack my bag, and head for West Virginia! I need some of that wonderful mountain air! Just to let you know, I refuse to delete #9! Ruth might get a grin out of that! Please give her my best regards and greetings. David will be in North Carolina so I won't be giving him any hugs. (that's ok though. I have to share him and know it! I am lucky he lives close to me all year long!!!) You two can give your lovely grandkids an extra hug...don't tell them it's extra! My best to you both. As always, Barbara Jean
11/24/2010 7:22:45 PM - 001024320926
Jusr stopping to wish you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!!!!
10/29/2010 10:37:05 PM - 000074469281
Is that Lily to my right? What an adorable little girl!! Just wanted to drop in and wish you a wonderful Halloween. I can't wait for your next book. They are all superior!
BOO!
10/18/2010 4:03:05 PM - 002065887734
Benny I have to thank you for the lovely, lovely photos you sent. I was just amazed! Every single one of your family vacation this year and the wonderful trip that you and Ruth took to Thailand is on the site in thumbnail form. I want everyone who stops by to be able to see a mini-version of your photos and then perhaps stay and look a bit. I appreciate the time it took to upload them also. Please tell Ruth "hello" from me... and to maybe fix your favorite meal for you. You deserve it after all that work. Thank you so much!!! Barbara Jean p.s. The kids Halloween was so cute also. I didn't have any Halloween so it was a perfect selection on your part. :)
10/5/2010 3:41:34 PM - 002020640084
Benny,
How are you doing? Hope you are enjoying the fall season with the temps cooling down a bit in your area! Any fall plans? Are you excited for Halloween? I bet your grandkids are! I love this time of year! I got married on Oct. 1, 1993 and picked the date because I love the change of season in NY and the cooler temps! Then Marina was born Oct.7, 1994 and will be sweet 16 this Thursday! October is an exciting time for our family with lots of celebrating! Unfortunately its been really cold, gloomy, & rainy the past week! We have had temps in the low 40's! I'm not ready for the cold weather! I like the 60-65 degree fall weather! This is bone chilling! We had to put the heat on the other day already! I'm hoping it will warm up and the sun will come out! My husband came home for the 1st time since he moved away in August. He leaves tomorrow! It went by so fast! Talk to you soon! Enjoy the sun and warm weather! If you can have a talk with Mother Nature then please ask her to send some sun NY"s way! Thanks! :)

Hello, Benny. I just had to stop for my special photo viewing for this week. I love to visit here and see all the new things I have missed or to view old favorites. I have done both tonight. I think Lillian's new hairdo is darling. She is growing up to be so photogenic...just like her big brother and sister! I have commented before on her wonderful photos, but have enjoyed seeing them so much again. Some things are appreciated more each time and these shots of her fall into that category.

I had to visit Bangkok again. Your page is just exquisite!!! It is breathtaking each time I view it. Today I noticed just how amazing that large elephant sculpture is. It looks as 'real' as the real elephants in the photos below it! The gold statues, the artwork, the history you show of the elephant, and the lovely shots of Ruth combine to make it magical. I come here often just to look. I really mean it when I say "thanks" for that page. I took a quick look at a few other pages. Your site is crammed with wonderful pages. Sometimes I feel some of my pages are marginal, but you don't have a "marginal" page on your site! I have enjoyed my visit here tonight. My best to you and Ruth...and of course the rest of your lovely family. Barbara Jean

Hello my friend. Wow...look at how busy you have been. Look how big the kids are. OMG. I wanted to pop in and wish you a wonderful wknd filled with lots of snapping! (smile)
9/26/2010 5:46:19 PM - 002081530895
Benny, Thank you for your wonderful comments. your photos are so professional,so relating to your subjects. The story each of your photos tell are in excess of 1000 words. You are awesome. Thanks again.
8/28/2010 9:00:22 PM - 002065887734
Hello again, Benny. Your Bangkok page is one of the most beautiful pages I have EVER seen. It is so lovely it makes me feel as if I had been there. I think that is why I love it so much. You could do a piece for a travel magazine and your work would be as good as any they had ever had! You rival National Geographic or even outdo them if they just had a little article. Your work is beautiful and the sites you visited are exquisite in their beauty. I know I keep using beauty over and over, but I don't know what else to say. I did not realize that is was possible to still see such beauty. I thought it was probably long gone. Thank you for opening my eyes. I am so happy you two got to visit and think you chose wisely on where to go. Thank you for posting this incredible page!

p.s. I have spent 50 minutes on this page, just gazing. I would still be gazing but I have an appointment I have to make. This has been delightful!
8/28/2010 8:11:26 PM - 002065887734
Hi, Benny. I am still hanging in there. I haven't been on the sites too much and just saw you commented on David's book in the Gallery a while ago. I am a proud grandma and wanted you to know that HE picked out the entire book and told me exactly how he wanted it...right down to what to say. That Disney book was made by David when he was 7. My Disney book is much different, but I think I am more proud of his little book. He wanted the 'blue jean paper' and it just went from there. He was quite bossy (or secure in what he wanted...) and pretty much did all the journaling also. He was very familiar with the photos so he would correct me when I chose the wrong one..."no the picture where Pluto looks like this!" His mom and I didn't laugh or giggle but it was difficult to keep a straight face during the construction of "David's Book". As a devoted grandpa, I didn't think you'd mind me telling you about the way this book was created.

I hope all is well with you and your lovely family. I hope you have all gotten some rest from that wonderful, dream vacation you took. I will be back later to look around. I am a bit slow right now, but trying to get back in the swing of things. My best to you and yours always, Barbara Jean
8/24/2010 10:31:07 PM - 002020640084
Benny,
Thanks so much for your kind words! It means so much to me! Its been an extremely diffult summer for us! I hope and pray that things will work out and that 2011 is much better! I am trying to take it minute by minute for now because its to difficult to think ahead!

I love all the new photos you added! I took a look around and I was truly impressed with all the amazing summer photos you added! You have such a gorgeous family and your grandchildren are growing up so fast! Your grandchildren are so blessed to have such a caring, supportive, devoted, loving, kind, & fun grandpa in their lives! They are so lucky! :)
8/17/2010 2:30:34 PM - 001023411097
Another great book, Benny! Your topic is perfect. I have often wanted to use this for a book also. The children are precious also. Take as much time as you can to capture the memories to last a lifetime. I also love photography. I have grandkids and  admit I get carried away sometimes with the camera. I must look around your site. Have a wonderful Shutterfly day, BarbaraJ from Texas.
8/3/2010 3:26:20 PM - 002065887734
Benny, I am just 'blown away' with your new book, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. This could be used in parenting classes. We, as a country, would be better off if this book or similar books would be used in parenting classes. What a responsible way to bring up your kids and grandkids (I tried also, but you have it down to a science!).

Your book is laid out so well, with your philosophy right up front and then reinforced again at the end. You have darling models in Evan, Julia, and even little Lillian! Then...you go on to cram your book with wonderful examples of the positive things we can do to set our children on the right path. Wow! What a mixture. Your philosophy to live life by and then your wonderful photos to illustrate our positive options. A perfect mixture!!! I am proud to see someone make such a book and proud to consider them a friend, even if a "Shutterfly friend". Thank you. This book is much needed throughout the country. It would add much to the moral climate and be a great help...plus it is so fun to read and look at. This is a true winner!!! Thank you for thinking of it and making it! Barbara Jean
8/2/2010 10:59:03 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, I hope all is going well for you and the family. Just stopping to say hi and see what's new.
8/1/2010 6:29:43 PM - 002088910291
Benny, Thank you very much for visiting my site! I love your wonderful comments! And thanks for sharing your grand daughter with us, she is precious!
7/24/2010 11:30:13 AM - 002081530895
Benny, those pictures are GREAT! Never too many. I believe I can say they are the most exotic photos I have on my site. Thank you.
7/22/2010 3:11:42 PM - 002066991916
WOW! Julia is so brave touching the snake. I don't think that I can do that. LOL! Its been a while since I return to your site and you really did a great job on your photos. Way to go Benny!
7/22/2010 12:59:02 AM - 002088910291
Benny, Is Lillian your grand daughter? She is so adorable! I would like to come to your site more often to get to know you better! I know you have some gorgeous photography, as I have been here before! I am just so tired right now, I had my grandson, who is 8 years old for a couple of days, and just took him home this afternoon! I am trying to catch up on my sites, and get to the gallery too! I will be back! And thanks so much for the times you have come over to my site! I always appreciate your comments! Deb
7/19/2010 1:26:28 AM - 002065887734
WELCOME HOME!!! I just saw Oreo at the Chiropractor getting an alignment so I knew you were home. Bet you are exhausted and had a great time! Looking forward to seeing lots of your experiences...when you catch up on things. My best and so happy you had a safe trip. :)

p.s. I didn't know you had your photos on your site already when I stopped earlier. They are wonderful!!! I have enjoyed looking at all 3 pages. That is some vacation to have 3 pages for it! Wow! You did a perfect job of laying out your vacation mini-sites and explaining each area. You did well in breaking it down into the different parts. I would have been so confused otherwise and this makes perfect sense. Culture, History, fun for the kids, and then an Island Paradise. What a trip!!! I am so happy you got to take a trip like this with your family. That makes it all the mores special. Oh, the memories you will have. What wonderful memories of your wonderful times together.

Welcome home. I am glad you are back safely, but boy what a vacation. The vacation of a lifetime!  :)
7/16/2010 6:09:35 PM - 000031826072
Hi Benny! I'm dropping in to see how you are doing and check things outs. Wow - Lillian's new hairdo is absoloutely adorable! Love it.
I hope you had a wonderful vacation and are having a terrific summer.
Your site is looking amazing and has grown since I last stopped by. Take care!
7/9/2010 8:39:14 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Benny! We all miss you. I know you are on this really neat trip, but we still miss you. Hope you are having the best time ever. Your family is getting the treat of a lifetime. I know you will be taking photos like crazy so I'm looking forward to lots of neat pictures. My best to you all. Have a safe trip and return home soon.

p.s. You can tell Lillian that some older lady loves daisies too! I grow several varieties so I can have them all summer season. It seems she and I have something in common! I still just love that shot of her lining up her precious flowers. Kids are so special and see wonder in the smallest of things. :)
7/4/2010 10:43:53 PM - 002020640084
I love Lillian's new hairdo! I also love the one of her lining up the daisies! That's so sweet! :)
7/4/2010 10:42:37 PM - 002020640084
Benny,
Happy 4th of July! I bet you and your family are having the time of your lives on vacation together! Have a safe trip! Can't wait for you to come back so I can see all your amazing photos! Thinking of you! :)
7/1/2010 1:57:41 PM - 002065887734
Benny, I hope you are all having a wonderful, wonderful vacation. What a dream to make come true! The kids will be so excited with what they see and will have these memories forever. Love Lillians new hair style. She is precious all tired out in her car carrier. I love that pose.

I foresee great organizational skills for that girl...or either work as a wedding consultant...Love her photo lining up the daisies!!! (My Lisa made a "flower cake" one day at her Grandpa and Grandma's. Thank goodness it was in the fall soon before a big frost. She depleted the yard of flowers. They were babysitting her, so mama didn't get in trouble. Neither did she. Her "cake" was beautiful and lasted.)
Anyway, this precious photo of Lillian with her daisies is wonderful.

May you have a fantastic and safe trip! My best to you and your family always, Barbara Jean
6/20/2010 5:38:53 AM - 002066991916
Hi Benny! Its been a long time since the last time that I visited your site. WOW! Your site has a big improvement. You have so many great and wonderful photos here on your homepage. Mrs. Gonzalez who's touching the snake is a beautiful shot. She is so very brave to touch the snake. Oh my I don't think that I am brave enough to touch the snake.
The hiking in Willow Creek trail is so much fun. The kids are truly enjoy walking on the trail. Beautiful Job!
6/17/2010 5:17:21 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, your comments make my day!! You are very kind, Kyleigh is my little punkin and I can't help but take her picture. I think sometimes people will get tried of it and then I tell myself it makes me happy so that's ok.
Loving the possum up top.
Lillian's new hairdo is adorable on her, love her full pretty lips too. Daisies are my favorite, is she putting them in the seam othe sidewalk? Kids are so amazing!!
6/13/2010 5:20:40 PM - 002020640084
Benny,
Thanks for the well wishes for Joe's graduation! He is finished with school now and the graduation ceremony is on June 24th! His party is on July 17th! Marina is done with her classes but has to go back 2 times this week for exams then she is finished! :)
I am so excited to hear you and your family are all going to Asia together next week! What a dream come true to travel to Asia with your kids and grandchildren. Have a safe trip! I can't wait to see all the photos! Make sure you have tons of extra batteries, chargers, & extra memory cards! If you bring a laptop you can upload them to your computer & to shutterfly at night or early morning when you are waiting for the whole gang to get ready! LOL! I'm always the last one to bed & first one up so I always have time to upload photos! Last trip I forgot my cord that connects to my camera & laptop! Make sure you have your cord if you or anyone is bringing a laptop! :)
I'll be thinking of you and all the fun you will have in Asia! HAVE A SAFE TRIP! :)
6/7/2010 10:17:52 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, hope all is well for you and the family :)
6/4/2010 5:08:41 AM - 002020640084
Benny,
I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! We had a cookout & a yard sale! I sold so much stuff it was unreal! LOL! Any plans for the summer? Are your grandkids on summer vacation already? In NY the kids go to school until the end of June. Joe's graduation is June 24th. I can't believe he is graduating already! Time flies when your having fun! LOL! We are having his party in mid-July! Hopefully we will have nice weather! Joe got his 1st job a few months ago & now he wants to buy fireworks! The company in PA sends us brochures so he has his list already! Fireworks are so dangerous! I like to go to a park & watch them not at someone's house! I have seen too many people get injured or almost injured badly when the wind knocks them down. My dad always loved fireworks & bought a huge assortment every year! He let all the kids blow them off!
Anyways, have a wonderful weekend! :)
6/2/2010 1:33:01 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Benny! I've been trying to catch up and am not doing so good. Thanks for stopping by while I was gone. It was really nice to see greetings when I got home! I love the field trip... I miss those days. I think it is so cute to see Evan and his friend "braving" the wilds by themselves. They look like they are sure helping each other out! Julia looks like she really enjoyed the outing also. The possums here attack and kill the little newborn kittens in the woods...that I try to catch and get adopted...so right now they are not my favorites. Nature has to take it's course though and I understand that.

Lillian with the chick in the egg is just ADORABLE!!! She is darling in both photos and I love her kissing her new chick! What sweet and wonderful times ahead for you all.

I got to see my grandson, David over the weekend. He is growing so fast! I went to their campground and they grilled out. It's right on the Ohio River & we haven't had much rain. David goes swimming, which scares me as his grandmother. The toxic level in the water worries me also, but I cannot butt in too much. I want to be invited back!

My aunt in W.Va. is doing as best as she can. She has so much energy she runs me ragged, but she is still an ill woman. I can't keep up with her and neither can my friend, John. She has lived on her farm since 1944 and we are trying to let her keep living there as long as she can. She is so isolated, if she has a problem it's bad. They called an old number for "life alert" when she fell this spring and couldn't get anyone! It was a mess. I am trying to visit there as much as I can, and I do love it so very much. I remember tracking deer and a "wildcat" with my dad when I was very small. Now I look back and wonder if there really was a wildcat that disappeared into the brush. Daddy is gone, so I guess I will never know. I choose to think there WAS a wildcat and we almost got it!

Keep taking these wonderful photos of the kids. You do such a great job! It makes me want to do better. Thanks for stopping by and for your support. I hope you had a good Easter, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day! (I told you I was late!) On the good side, I DID get to spend Mother's Day with my aunt. She never married and was embarrassed I told her she was like a mother to me...but I think she loved it! I sure did!

Bye for now. My best to you and your family. Barb

Hi Benny! I've seen you around in the gallery, but had never topped to to check out your site before. It's wonderful! I loved the page with the fire trucks - very cool! It looks like your family had a great Easter. It's getting late tonight so I didn't have time to check out some of your photobooks, but I'll be back to do that. Awesome site!
5/7/2010 3:05:51 AM - 001024320926
Hi ya Benny! Thanks for stopping by and for the Mother's Day wishes. I'm not sure what we're doing, I will go to Mom's on Saturday and have Sunday with my kids and granddaughter :) What are the plans for your family :)
Thanks for all the great comments!!
5/4/2010 10:45:33 PM - 002020640084
I love how excited the kids are for the hike! They went on quite an adventure & its so cool that you were there snapping away!
I love how curious & fascinated the kids are with the snake! What brave kids! I am afraid of snakes! My husband & kids love them! I have one in my garden & I'm petrified! I don't want to get rid of it because it eats the moles!
I just got back from NYC & on a cruise to Bermuda with my husband! We had so much fun but missed the kids so much!
Talk to you soon!
4/29/2010 2:11:50 AM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, I hope that all is well. Alwys enjoy my visits here :)
4/26/2010 3:40:10 AM - 000074469281
Hey Benny! Thanks for dropping by and the nice comment. I know i need to quit apologizing but I do feel bad that i can't visit every site like i would like.
I did get a new camera just 2 weeks ago. I even got the half-moon! Super excited. Most of the new pictures are on the 2010 page and i made an album of odd kind of things i took pictures of w/ new camera. Kind of funky cool! I'll stop back and look closer at your photos - i get so inspired by others phhotography! Keep on snapping!
4/20/2010 4:20:25 AM - 002081530895
I reminds me of my youth.
4/14/2010 10:40:32 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, thanks for stopping by and looking at the San Diego page :) We had so much fun there, Coronado was definitely my favorite part! I loved that sparkly beach!
Your comments are always so kind and generous, a real treat to see that you have visited!!
I hope that spring is bring good to you and the kiddos. I know they love being outside, Kyleigh cries when she thinks she's not going to play outside. I bought bubbles for her so we have to do that at least once a day too :)
Love your pictures and visiting :)
4/14/2010 10:09:37 PM - 000074469281
Benny Benny! How are you! I enjoyed looking at all your fabulous new photos! Wow! - hope you've been well. I'm trying to slowly catch up visting sites!
4/8/2010 5:49:53 PM - 001024320926
Love the new pictures!! Looks like Easter was wonderful. Loooove the picture on the stairs, so great!! The field trip pictures are wonderful, except maybe the snake :)
I've behind since coming back from San Diego so I am just now catching up on the sites. You always have such sweet and fun things on here!!
I hope that Easter and spring are being good to you and yours!
3/31/2010 5:05:59 AM - 002065887734
This looks like a fantastic field trip. The fire station was good too. Someone is doing a great job planning these trips. This Willow Creek area looks rugged and fun. Just "dangerous" enough to have the kids spellbound and exploring. Love the possum photos. I do hope the Ranger made it a point to not touch even non-venomus snakes. (Get some nasty germs in 'them there' bites! I'm a West Virginia gal.) Are Julia and Evan in the same class...or are their classes just lucky to get to do things together? the photos are all so good. I especially love Evan and his friend in yellow coming out of the overgrowth "tunnel". They look so serious and BRAVE. I love their expressions.

I love Lillian doing her "gymnastics". She is just too cute! I think she is copying big brother and sister. It's a really good photo of her.

I haven't gotten past this page today. You have so many new photos. I'll be back soon to check everything out again. I always love to visit here. My best to you and your family. I hope you are having a pleasant spring. (We still are waiting here for spring in Ohio.) My neighbor put out fake silk flowers in her flower bed she's so disqusted with the weather. I love it...her flowers, NOT the weather. I took several photos and need to upload to my site. We will at least have some flowers, LOL! Bye for now. Barbara Jean
3/29/2010 5:18:54 AM - 000077783171
The updated site and the field trip pictures are wonderful =)
3/24/2010 9:16:27 PM - 002020640084
Benny,
I stopped by to wish you a very Happy Easter & to thank you for checking out my Florida vacation page! We are heading off to Hilton Head, SC next week for spring break! I can't believe Easter is only about 11 days away! Hope you get to see all of your family this Easter! :)
3/18/2010 12:00:51 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, I have been meaning to stop by for awhile and let you know that I will be voting on your photos in the contest as soon as voting opens, I have your emails tagged :) The pictures you submitted are most definitely Birthday Fun :)
I loove these garden photos, too sweet!! Spring has arrived here in Texas, we have blooming trees and daffodils about so I know it's here. Still pretty chilly at night, in the 40's but during the day we are at the 60 and 70's, beautiful. But here in Texas it will be no time and we'll have that 110 degree weather, I soooo dread that! I know you live in California, there's more of a constant temp there, hopefully your days are beautiful :)
3/8/2010 11:11:25 PM - 002020640084
The gardening photos just crack me up! They could make a lot of money helping out the neighbors or elderly garden & weed! I wish I had little gardeners to help me out! Mine grew up & don't want to be bothered anymore! LOL!!!
3/4/2010 3:57:42 AM - 001076975951
Hi Benny, Thanks so much for stopping by my travel site. And your kind words touched my heart. I truly appreciate it very much.

A person who travels experiences so much in life.   And I can't wait for my next travel adventure.   God willing next year.   Thanks for stopping by and feel free to visit when you can.   Have a great evening and take care.   By the way your home page is wonderful.
3/3/2010 3:14:26 AM - 002065887734
Dear Benny, your Home Page brings a smile to my face whenever I see it. I think these photos are just perfect and love to see your beautiful grandchildren...they are so dedicated in their gardening. You are truly blessed with your family and I know that you are aware of that fact. I got a "grant" to get my little kittens fixed, but it runs out on the 7th, so I've been pretty rare in visiting. I'm looking forward to getting back to normal, and site visiting again. Thank you for your kind comments when you stop by. You phrase your comments so nicely...it makes for a happy day. I need to thank you for that, also!
3/2/2010 3:39:45 PM - 001076975951
Hi Benny, Found your site through Barbara Jean so I thought I'd stop by and say HI,
Love your home page. I agree with your greeting message too. "The photographs provides a little "community glue" for all the people I love! I won't even let the ECONOMY keep me from taking pictures and making memories! I love this hobby!"

 
So true. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. I will be back to explore some more.  Take care.
2/24/2010 6:27:36 PM - 001024320926
Love the playpen pictures, kids are so great for entertainment :)
Hope all is well for you and the family.
It snowed again yesterday here in Dallas, we have had our fair share, more in fact. Texans aren't use to this weather!!
2/12/2010 3:42:37 AM - 002065887734
These kids look so great. Don't let them grow up enough to know this is "W-O-R-K" Your help will dry up right away! Getting in line & going ahead full steam. Bet you all out in California are too. My best. A very Happy Valentine's to you & your family!
2/6/2010 4:39:47 AM - 001024320926
Benny you had me rolling on the floor laughing with your comment, toooo funny :) Happy Valentines Day to you and the family :)
2/2/2010 8:39:59 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, just stopping to say Hi and look around. Hope all is well for you and the family :)
1/24/2010 2:52:55 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, sorry it's been a while, I've been under the weather with a sinus infection, think it tried to kill me :) Love the gardening pictures, too sweet!! You always have great pictures on your site, a treat to visit. Thanks for all the great comments on my share site, it's always nice to hear from you.
1/13/2010 5:59:40 AM - 002066991916
WOWSurprisedSurprisedSurprised Your site is growing and growing lately. Look at that house. It is very clean. It is very hard to maintain the cleanliness at the house especially if you have a children. But you surprised me. Well look Julia and Evan helping you to clean the house. I can tell they did an AWESOME job on a backyard. Their are so cute. What a wonderful shot! Thanks for sharing.
1/11/2010 7:07:23 AM - 002065887734
I stopped by to check out your photos. I had to hurry the last time I was here. I missed Julia and Evan playing around the playpen. I just noticed them gardening. They are both so photogenic and just beautiful kids. Her balance and poise are of a much older child and Evan is just a little doll. I love when he is making the face in the close up of them both. ...then she is like "Yes!" or "Touchdown". They are great models. I know you love being around them. Your house is lovely. I bet it is kid friendly, too! Hope you get to see those you love throughout the New Year and you and your family have a healthy New Year! My best, Barbara
1/9/2010 4:58:39 AM - 002035648808
What gorgeous pictures on you page Benny..I love all the new additions. You grandchildren take such fantastic pictures. Isn't it fun having such wonderful grandchildren! When were these pictures taken? Are they recent. We are having 0 degree weather in Southeast MO and it is miserable.
1/8/2010 5:48:02 PM - 002020640084
BENNY,
I LOVE ALL THE NEW ADDITIONS TO YOUR PAGES! THE NUTCRACKER PAGE IS SO MAGICAL! THE SNOW PAGE IS PURE HAPPINESS & JOY!!!! YOU DID A SPECTACULAR JOB!!! :)
1/8/2010 5:34:12 PM - 002020640084
BENNY,
THANKS FOR THE NEW YEARS WISHES! MAY 2010 BRING YOU HAPPINESS, JOY, SUCCESS, LAUGHTER, & TONS OF PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES! HOPE YOUR HOLIDAY WAS MAGICAL! :)

THE GARDENING PHOTOS ARE WONDERFUL! THEY ARE SUCH GOOD HELPERS!!!! THE PLAYPEN ONES ARE AWESOME! ITS FUNNY THAT BABIES DON'T WANT TO GO IN BUT THE OLDER ONES THINK ITS SO COOL! LOL!!!!

I SEE YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER IN CA BECAUSE THESE ARE RECENT PHOTOS & THE KIDS ARE IN SHORT SLEEVES! HAS IT BEEN COLD AT NIGHT IN YOUR AREA?

I ADDED A BUFFALO SNOW PAGE THAT HAS SOME SCANNED PHOTOS FROM THE 2001 CHRISTMAS EVE SNOW STORM THAT BLASTED US WITH ALMOST 7FT OF SNOW IN 5 DAYS!!! ITS CRAZY! I HAVE SOME 2009 & 2010 SNOW FUN ALBUMS!

HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND! :)
1/8/2010 3:58:25 AM - 002081530895
You have a wonderful site and are a true family man. Thank you for making me a member
1/4/2010 12:45:50 AM - 001024320926
Happy New Year Benny!! Blessings to you and yours for the coming year!! It has been wonderful to see your photobooks and share site this past year, I look forward to many more pictures and books from you :)
1/3/2010 10:27:51 PM - 002065887734
Benny, I love your new header and the page is wonderful. I love the photos of Julia and Evan gardening. (Did you know I love flowers? I have dug up some poor plants up to maybe 5 times when I've moved.) The kids look so intense & Julia is just lovely. I got the flu Christmas Eve & we still haven't exchanged presents with my grandson. He's 8. Jan.1 was first day I've been moving around.

I came here to thank you for the gorgeous photo of the kids with the male calico. I did not know your info & appreciate it. If ok, I would like to use in future (& credit you) on the site. It also explains what is now funny...we took the little Patches (calico) in to the vet. They asked what sex & I said "male". They said "Really? That's unusual". When we had taken a batch of cats in to be fixed, that vet had marked Patches as a male & only charged the lower male price to "fix" her. All along I've thought of her as a girl. It's funny that the first vet labeled her "male" & just charged the lower male rate. Now I know why the second vet thought it was unusual if Patches HAD been a male. Thanks for the info AND the photo. Any input is always welcome. Always. Have a Happy New Year and I can see you are enjoying your family! Barb
12/26/2009 8:30:17 PM - 002065887734

12/11/2009 5:14:39 AM - 000074469281
Merry Christmas Benny! I'm so behind on the sites and i'm trying to catch up. Are you ready for the holidays! Love all your photos and thank YOU so much for your ever so kind comments on my 2 latest books. Yeah, my nephew is quite talented. I still hope to do a book of him and his band. He is really good. My nephew Jack who is 9 is in a Boys Choir and wears the red bow tie and red cumberbun (sp?) - talented kids blow me away. It is fascinating watching them grow with these talents.
I'll stop back, hopefully before Christmas, if not have a wonderful holiday with your family!
12/5/2009 6:43:26 AM - 002065887734
All these photos are too cool! The fireworks are really good. I love the fireworks under the stroller photos. (I've talked about your family throughout your site. I also talked about The Mouse, so you know I love another page you have...no room for comment. I love that page. I'm so glad I found this site. You've had a very interesting life to date. I bet it stays interesting. Thanks for all the photos and my mini-vacation! Barb
11/29/2009 7:06:59 AM - 002020640084

11/29/2009 5:37:21 AM - 002035648808
Hi Benny, sorry it's been so long since I stopped by.. It looks like you have been really busy.. I love your two newest books, Freedom and Witches... They are great. I also love all the pictures on this page. Your family is so wonderful. The pictures of the fireworks and your grandaughter looking up at them are priceless. You really captured the awe on her face. She is such a doll as is all your grandchildren. The third picture down on the top left of your two grandchildren are so sweet. Your grandson looks so focused on something. Are you already decorated for Christmas? We are trying to get ready in Missouri, but it seems like it is going slower than I like...Take care and have a blessed Holiday Season!
11/26/2009 2:59:40 PM - 001024320926

10/22/2009 6:14:35 AM - 002035648808
Hi Benny....Thanks for stopping by my site. I am looking around yours some more. I love the award winning role that Evan played. He probably will win an Oscar for his performance. Aren't grandkids the best. I just am about finished with Little Lukes first year album. Stop by my site and look on my home page. All I have to do is wait until after his first birthday on Oct. 29 to complete it. Are the decorations on this page at your house? They are hysterical, especially the ones directly to my right:) I like the modern day Evan mummy picture. It is so cute! Evan seems like a little ham in all the pictures. Your granddaughter is absolutely gorgeous. What a lucky Grandpa. Hope to see you around some:)
10/21/2009 2:56:58 AM - 002035648808
Hi Benny....I found your share site from Tonette's site. I hope you don't mind me coming over and checking your site out. I just saw your photo book of your grandkids in the box. I left you a comment over there. I just love your site. Your remembering the past page is gorgeous. You have such a precious family. Your grandkids are the cutest little guys. (and girls) I have an eleven month old grandson. It is the most wonderful thing in the world being a grandparent. Grandbabies just turn you to mush don't they? I loved your hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil page. It was too cute! I would love to become a member of your site and hope that you will stop by my site sometime. I love to see others photography skills. I am already inspired to go back and dig out pictures of my two oldest boys and get them their own page on my share site. My 18 year old daughter has her own page already because I discovered shutterfly before her graduation and did a book for her as a gift and then discovered the share sites. I am making so many nice friends on shutterfly! Again, I love your site and hope to hear from you soon!
10/14/2009 4:41:49 PM - 002020640084
BENNY,
I LOVE HOW YOU UPDATED YOUR FAMILY PAGE! YOUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE GORGEOUS! I LEFT A COMMENT ON THAT PAGE! :)

Hi Benny, I am playing catch up from going out of town. I didn't think it would I would get so far behind. I know you have a book out and I promise you are on my list, I love your books so I know I will enjoy it :)
Thanks so much for the wonderful words on my site. We had so much fun in New Mexico, lots of balloons, mountains, Aspens and laughing :):) It was awesome to meet such wonderful people.
I'll see you this coming week :)

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Benny, I see you have a new book and I will look at it later today. I have to got to another office for the afternoon so I'll get it done at home :) Love your books so I am looking forward to it.
Thanks for your message of comfort over the passing of my Aunt, she was a wonderful person. I am touched by all the support my shutterfly family has given. I feel blessed to be part of this community :)
Hope all is well Benny, Lisa

BENNY,
HOW ARE YOU DOING? HOW IS THE WEATHER? YESTERDAY AND TODAY WAS RAINY! DID THE LEAVES START CHANGING COLORS YET? ITS JUST STARTING AROUND HERE! I LOVE FALL!

WE WENT CAMPING AT JELLYSTONE IN OHIO ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO AND HAD SO MUCH FUN! WE ARE GOING BACK COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND!

ANY PLANS FOR THIS WEEKEND?
9/22/2009 5:18:45 AM - 002066991916
Awesome! Your site is growing so nicely. I love the new backround that your using it this time. You did a great shot too with Evan and Julia! Way to go...

Benny I love the new book!! I left a comment and it looked like it didn't post so I rewrote it and hit add, it then added both comments :) You can delete one if you want to. Just wanted you to know I thought it was great :)

BENNY,
BY THE WAY,
HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY! :)
9/13/2009 7:40:42 PM - 002020640084
BENNY,
I LOVE ALL THE HALLOWEEN UPDATES TO YOUR HOME PAGE! THE PHOTO OF JULIA WITH HER NEW YOKO SKULL BARRETTE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! WHAT A PERFECT PROFILE PHOTO! THE ONES OF EVEN AND BABY DRACULA ARE TOO FUNNY! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH BIGGER DRACULA IS THAN EVAN! MY FAVORITE OF EVAN AND BABY DRACULA IS THE CLOSE-UP WITH EVAN SMILING SO HARD THAT HIS EYES ARE CLOSED! GORGEOUS! THE PHOTO OF VIOLET AND DEAN AND THE HAUNTED HOUSE ARE SO MUCH FUN! LOOKS LIKE THE KIDS ARE GETTING EXCITED FOR HALLOWEEN ALREADY! :)
9/12/2009 6:44:20 PM - 001024320926
Love the new pictures!! That is the coolest hair clip :) I love it. Halloween is so fun :) I have been inspired to decorate more for Halloween by looking at Toni's pictures but now I see yours and I'm even more excited for it this year :) Too fun. Love the baby dracula, he might be a little better than Evan :)
9/5/2009 2:43:12 PM - 001024320926
Benny I saw your comment on Tonette's site and I wanted to comment on something that you said.
The part about how you have met people that haven't been to Disney or the beach and they live in California. I hope it's not to noisy for me to comment. I think the same thing though. I started my Exploring Texas page a while back, it started because I want to travel but funds limit me. So I thought I should open my eyes to the things around me and I haven't regretted that at all. Texas is huge and has tons to see. I have managed to take my two brothers to Galveston and they have never been there. My sister in law has lived in Texas her whole life and never seen the ocean. I'm documenting places I've been before but not looked at from the angle I am now. It's fun and I know my grandbaby will love it too. Life is just at the end of our funger tips all we have to do is grab it :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
9/4/2009 6:13:48 PM - 001024320926
Just wanted to wish you and yours a Happy Labor Day weekend Benny!! Be safe and have fun!!
9/4/2009 2:32:02 PM - 002020640084
BENNY,
SORRY I MEANT TO SAY MISSY AND RAOUL HAVE A REALLY COOL JOB BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL TO CHINA!

THANKS AGAIN FOR VISITING MY SITE! I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED THE FAIR PHOTOS AND MY NEW NIAGARA FALLS BOOK!

I HAVE TO GET MOVING ON THE BILLS TRAINING CAMP ONE! I STARTED THE 1ST 2 PAGES AND NEVER WENT BACK TO WORK ON IT! I WANTED TO WAIT TO SEE IF I GOT ANY GOOD PHOTOS FROM THE PRESEASON GAME WE WENT TO LAST NIGHT SO I CAN PUT ALL OF THEM TOGETHER! IT WILL BE A FUN BOOK TO DO!

I MADE SOME BDAY CARDS WITH SOME OF THE TRAINING CAMP PHOTOS! THEY CAME OUT SO COOL! I FIGURED FOR MY SON'S FRIEND'S BDAY THEY WOULD CHERISH A CARD WITH THEIR HOMETOWN TEAM AND FAVORITE PLAYERS MORE THAN THEY WOULD LIKE A STORE BOUGHT CARD! ALL MY SON'S FRIENDS ARE HUGE SPORTS FANATICS SO I KNOW THE BDAY CARDS WILL BE A BIG HIT!

THIS WEEK THEY HAVE THE GREETING CARDS 50% OFF SO I THINK I WILL MAKE MORE BEFORE THE SALE ENDS! I ALSO MADE A BUNCH WITH MY FLOWERS AND BEES FOR MY FRIENDS AND FEMALE FAMILY MEMBERS! I WAS ALSO THRILLED WITH THE WAY THEY CAME OUT!

HOW WAS JULIA'S 1ST DAY OF SCHOOL?

I saw your message on Lisa's page and Benny, you are the one who has such wise words, who writes and touches our souls - who moves us and makes us think. You really are an amazing man, with a gift to write profoundly from your heart, a gift to take incredible photos and make incredible photo books. Which in turn make priceless memories. Its been a joy getting to know you via Shutterfly. Please forgive me for not being able to visit as often as I'd like - keep on inspiring us with your talent and your enthusiam to capture memories through your photos & site!
Take care!

Love the new picture to the right, tooo fun!!! I have a picture of me with Goofy, it's one of my favorite pictures.
I didn't go see Paul McCartney but I heard it was an awesome concert!! It was in the new Cowboys stadium and apparently the parking alone was 75 dollars. That's a little outside my price range. It would have been a great concert to see.
Hope you have good weekend :)

8/5/2009 3:59:42 AM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, I love the book you added today :) I will hit the Gallery to comment in the morning, I have three things written down to do and that is one of them. I have gotten to the point of having to make notes or I forget. Work has gotten so busy that when I go into the Gallery at lunch I jump around and forget to do what I went there for.............thus the reason for the notes :) You are on my notes :)
I was planning on checking out the Paul McCartney tickets, I need to find out what the date is first then see if I can go. Sure would be awesome!!
Hope all is well, Lisa
8/4/2009 8:35:55 PM - 002020640084

Benny, what a treat you love the Beatles. Now every time I visit I will have a Beatles tune running thru my head :) Paul McCartney is coming to the new Dallas Cowboy stadium here soon. Bet he would be so great to see!!
7/28/2009 12:36:24 AM - 002020640084

HOW COOL IS JULIA'S MERRY GO CYCLE! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE! DID SOMEONE CUSTOM MAKE THAT FOR JULIA OR DO THEY SELL THEM IN STORES? VERY COOL PHOTO!

THE ONE OF EVAN DRIVING THE LITTLE GIRL IN HIS CORVETTE IS SO ADORABLE!

HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR WEEKEND! WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF RAIN! ITS BETTER THAN 2FT OF SNOW FALLING IN ONE DAY! LOL!!!

7/26/2009 5:02:29 PM - 001024320926
Love the merry go round, looks like a blast for the kids :)
7/26/2009 5:01:28 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, I was so excited to read that you are a Beatles maniac!! I don't have any collectables but I do have many CD's I've gone and bought. When I was young I was upset that the Beatles had broken up, I felt like I was born too late! I think seeing them on stage would have been incredible!! Do you prefer their early music or their later music?
I collect postcards, have for years and years. One day I was watching TV and they had Ringo Starr on for his new book. The book is about postcards :) His bandmates use to send him postcards from everywhere and he saved them. It's a fun book, which I bought right after that.
I hope your weekend is being good to you and yours!
7/26/2009 1:36:50 AM - 000074469281
Your header is awesome. I love the pictuure of you and your wife in the van! Thank you so much for your very kind comments on my site.

7/21/2009 2:45:26 PM - 001024320926
Hi Benny, thanks for the great comments on my wedding pictures. I was inspired to put them on there by looking at your great picture and Jean posted a couple too. I thought, gosh, I think I'll look mine up :) It brought back a bunch of long forgotten memories. That's why I love pictures, little time capsules :)
I wouldn't leave a bad comment on anyones site. I don't believe being ugly is the answer, I say kill them with kindness :) I saw that you visited Connie's site and I know she loved seeing your wonderful comment :) We are a good community of photo friends and we have to take care of each other :)
Hope you're having a good week :)
7/21/2009 6:39:49 AM - 002066991916
I just stop by and look around to your site. Julia is so cute. Did she attend the parade or something? She has a wonderful costume.
7/21/2009 4:31:44 AM - 002020640084
BENNY,
I LOVE THE LITTLE ROCK STAR PHOTO OF EVAN, THE ONE OF JULIA ON A SWING, SHAWN AND BELINDA'S KIDS, & JULIA W/ THE SHAUN SHEEP SHOULDER BAG! THOSE PHOTOS ARE AWESOME! YOU HAVE CAPTURED THEIR PERSONALITYS AND SO MANY PRECIOUS MEMORIES! ARE THOSE ALL JULIA'S SHAUN THE SHEEP STUFFED TOYS STACKED UP?!! THATS A COOL PHOTO! I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE CAPTURE ALL THESE DETAILS THAT IN A YEAR OR 2 THEY WILL FORGET THAT THEY HAD THE SHAUN THE SHEEP OR TLOVED PLAYING GUITAR! MY SON PLAYED BRIEFLY AND PERFORMED ON STAGE 2 TIMES AND I WAS WORKING SO I MISSED OUT! I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE INTO PLAYING IN A ROCK BAND LONGER SINCE HE SPENT HIS OWN MONEY ON THE GUITAR AND EQUIPMENT! ANYWAYS, I REALLY WISH I HAD THOSE MOMENTS CAPTURED IN A PHOTO! NOW THE PAST FEW YEARS HE HATES HIS PICTURE TAKEN! ANYWAYS, KEEP SNAPPING AND ENJOYING ALL THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS! I'LL CHECK BACK REAL SOON! :)
7/21/2009 4:19:27 AM - 002020640084

7/18/2009 9:17:25 PM - 001024320926
The Hawaiian Wedding Song picture is wonderful!! Every time I come here I find myself staring into it :) Really I love it!! I had friends that had a van like the one below.

I'll be back in the Gallery on Monday, hopefully have time to look at more books :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
