Debbie,
You have some lovely flower photos here, nice start to spring blooming, love the one just above this comment section. I will check back soon to see the new Meerkeer Gardens page.

Always nice to see your headers and flower shots. The one right above is a great shot. Thanks for the kind note you wrote I needed that. Mom fell last week hit the tub then the floor. Very bruised & painful could have been worse. If she breaks anymore bones they both will no longer be in the apt. Dad is very withdrawn, quiet, and sleepy all the time. I take pictures, enjoy our two sons, and live to love Luke and Marley. Must tell you one of my photos I submitted to the Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs juried photography show this Friday ( First Friday) was chosen to hang and be judged. I will let you know more later. I will be stopping back to see more I know you are tops in your photography. Talk later Deb Thanks Again

Hi Debbie, LOVING your new header. FABULOUS!!

I'll have to check out your new page next time.   But from what I can tell I will love the Conservatory page

  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my daughters Seattle trip.   I did not know you lived only 30 minutes away,  I thought is was more than 1 hour. They went with friends and had their days planned and also attened a friends wedding. thanks for offering to show them around.  Glad you liked viewing their album.

 I am loving what I see here on your home page.  your pics are truly worth displaying in your home and make great gifts for family.


We have been having the perfect weather here in NYC, and I AM LOVING IT!!!!!
 

my gallery site has photos from the Botanical Garden Orchard Show.  And of course my April photo a day pics will be added at the end of the month.  

Come on by to have a look.

Deb, I am coming back later to see what I have been missing. I am in a funk with my parents declining health and ambulation. I don't know what the near future holds but not getting out as much as I would love to. So many things going on. Leaving to go to the country to son's house. Joe and I will watch Marley & Luke till Mommy gets home from work today. We do that every other Sunday. Talk Later I will look at your photos soon. PS I have a juried photo show with my Shutterbug Club coming up first Friday in May. Going to a class Wednesdays. Never enough time. Love ya Maria

Hi Debbie!! CAme by to check on your!! What's going on in your neck of the woods these days? We had a great Easter weekend! It's supposed to not be so nice here this weekend! We'll see!
Your spring flowers are just terrific!!...so much color... do they give you Canvas ideas! :0)

Great job!!! Beautiful pics. wish I was there taking pics.
4/4/2012 11:39:20 PM - 002020640084
WOW!!! I love all the Conservatory headers!!! I actually get a chance to use Marina's computer to upload pictures and to check out sites. Marina and Raul are cooking us dinner! I am feeling really lucky right now! LOL!! Puppy is sleeping and I should be cleaning getting ready for Easter and for out of town company but needed a Shutterfly fix. I am not feeling well other wise I would be cleaning. Hoping its only sinus and allergy problems and not anything else! I don't want to be sick with something contagious especially with the holiday and all our company.

Anyways, how have you been? Hope your dad is feeling better. I feel so bad for him and for you and your family to see your dad in pain must be heartwrenching! Praying that your dad recovers quickly or they find some kind of way to help ease his pain.

In case I don't get back on here by Sunday then I want to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter! :)
4/1/2012 8:46:33 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, Loved your latest photos. Simply fabulous. Thanks for taking me along. Hope all is well. Enjoy your spring in Seattle.
3/26/2012 7:54:10 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie... I saw a guys pictures & some video of the tulips , I think around your area...and daffodils!!! Wow..Wow!! Made me realize it's been awhile since I've been by!!
I'm sure you just keep on keeping on with having extra family living with you and all that you do with Ethan!!
We had a beautiful day in Santa Fe on Saturday... and we even found a little place that still had snow!
I hope you have a terrific week!!
3/20/2012 9:25:22 PM - 002034447600
Hi Debbie thanks for the last note. Things are never dull here. Today had Marley & Luke while Daddy (our son) worked some overtime. Marley is a doll baby 6 months smiles so much, eats well and sleeps well. Luke is the energizer bunny he keeps going and going. Mimi took Luke to see the "Fresh Beat Band In Concert" here in town. My Mom and Dad are up and down in health and mental status. Mom and Dad still in the assisted living but there is always some issue to deal with. Mom came back after 6 weeks recuperation from heart attack and other health probles, but I can see she is failing Dad can barely walk. Every day a challenge. Anyway love all your photos as usual. Hope your life has given you time to do the things you enjoy. I just now am getting a few days of picture taking in. I signed up for a class through our local Susquehanna Valley Shutterbug Club I belong too. We had our first lesson and I think I may learn something. I need to get ready for the annual judged jury show first Friday in May. Blessings from Pennsylvania Maria

3/12/2012 5:41:53 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Ooo...love your headers! The Conservatory must have great color all around for this spring!!
I did send you an email about that package when you asked for my email...is it in your junk stuff? I'll send another today! :0)
Had a great weekend babysitting the Grand-Girls! The back of my arms are a little sore though...Naomi is getting heavy and ..I'm not used to picking her up so much!! We had so much fun with them being here! Hannah is a huge help! Their parents had a much needed get away!
So this week...should be nice out and sun shine! yay!! :0)
Have a good week Deb...I know you keep busy!
3/11/2012 2:17:36 AM - 000070574167
Hi Debbie, Love this header! It is so "Springy"! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the pictures from the Conservatory - Grand Junction (where my daughter lives in Colorado) has one and I loved my visit (with my camera) there. The pictures you've posted have been fantastic. Have been enjoying our visit with our daughter and granddaughter this week, and have her walking with me while I shoot pictures! Have a great week.

Hey Debbie!!....wooooow....did you get some snow or what!! ha! Did it surprise you or did you know it was coming? How are you doing there lady? With this snow...your Flowers this year should be killer! :0)
Are you planning some camping this summer?
It's starting to feel like spring a little here...sunshine, cold mornings...and WIND!! yup... that is our spring weather pattern!
I've had a ball having Naomi on Fridays...that's our girl time..then she smiles when her Grandpa comes in and the feet get to kicking! She is a little punkin!
And... our step on our floor got fixed!! and now everything looks really good!! Now..if Sadie would quit rolling in the dead grass...and bringing it in the house! LOL.. that isn't going to happen anytime soon!! Take care!!
2/12/2012 2:52:03 AM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! I'm not a big fan of snow, but I LOVE all of your beautiful snow pictures. I know you have been very busy lately with your son and family livivng with you, but I'm glad to hear that he was able to find a job that he likes. That is terrific news. Ethan sure is getting bigger and bigger. He's such a handsome little guy. I've not been very good at keeping up with everyone lately, mainly just because I've been so busy at work and it just doesn't leave me much time for anything else. I am getting ready to go on a couples trip to Mexico in March for my birthday. I love tropical vacations, so I'm really looking forward to it. I fell on somne ice in the parking lot at work yesterday so I'm pretty sore this weekend. Not very fun, but I'll be better in a couple of days.
I love your favorite flowers book - just gorgeous!
Take care and talk to you soon! Hugs, J.

Hi Debbie, thanks for stopping by my shutterfly photo site, I really enjoy hearing for other photographers! Love your snow shots!
2/5/2012 5:37:05 AM - 001036406489
Hi Debbie - Wow - are you snowed it??? Luv the pics!
2/2/2012 4:22:33 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! How are you doing? I loved your new photobook on the Guru site.

Just stopping by while a take a break from moving! I am so sore. Rob has to work 12 hours shifts so up untl 7:30PM I am on my own doing all the moving which is a real challenge when I lock the door behind me, go down 18 steep steps then 2 security doors, open my car up, then load it up, go across the street, 2 more security doors, and my new apartment door! :(

Exciting news:

Marina has her 1st job interview tomorrow. Please say a prayer for her. Its so hard to get a job in this college town. Within 24 hours of Marina moving here to Indiana she was searching, calling, going into restaurants and stores asking if they were hiring, filling out applications, and doing them online and in person. She did at least 50 places in the 1st 2 weeks of living here and NO ONE called! She was so bummed out! Now the past 2 weeks she did about 25 more and finally got a call! She wants a job here so bad. It would be so good for her to get out, meet more people, and to make money. :)


2/2/2012 9:38:17 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. Thought I'd take the plunge and say hi. It's been so long. I still feel awful, but at least there is a bit of light at the tunnel. You are getting OUR snow! LOL. That's fine with me! Our flowers are starting to bud and grow which is not good...I know we will get a freeze, snow, or winter weather and then there goes Spring. Missed visiting your site. Glad to be back. My best, Barbara Jean
2/1/2012 9:40:53 PM - 000076738705
Making me chilly Deb ! Great shots . How's every one feeling? Time to get some desert images going to warm things up. Thanks for keeping in touch. Going in on the 15th for my MRI so keep me in your thoughts. You feeling ok these days? Talk to you soon :)
1/27/2012 6:56:04 PM - 002086548916
Hi Debbie! Are you digging out from all the snow you had? I love the 2nd picture in your header. That is so pretty. I know things are busy for you, just wanted to say hi. Have a great weekend!
1/23/2012 5:30:44 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! Marina's at school and I am sneaking on her computer while Rob is sleeping in the other room. Its decent out so I want to take a walk and I have tons of errands to run. I love all the snow albums, your snow headers, and your snow page. Thanks for braving the cold and for sharing! Have a great week! :)
1/22/2012 4:45:40 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! How are you doing? Thanks for stopping by my site and for leaving such nice comments. I enjoyed your 2 emails this week and replied 3 times last night.

I love your new snowstorm headers they turned out really pretty. Glad you didn't have flooding!

I am on my phone and have been giving it quite the workout since Marina's home and I don't have computer access!

Today we are suppose to go pick out paint colors because Marina wants to paint her new room. Can't believe we are doing move #5 in 19 months then Rob is going to NY to move Joe in 3 weeks on Rob's vacation which will be move #6 in 20 months! Its so crazy we did more moves in 20 months then I did my entire life! :( I will be busy the next few weeks and not sure when I will be able to squeeze in Shutterfly time. Hopefully when we take breaks I can sneak on! ;)
1/21/2012 12:52:44 AM - 001062713509
I knew you would have snow pictures up! YAY!
1/18/2012 6:20:03 PM - 002086548916
Hey Debbie! Look at all that snow! Last night I was at the gym watching the national news and saw that you were getting hit hard. I hope everyone can stay me where its safe and warm. Hope the snow moves out soon!
1/16/2012 4:40:02 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! It looks like winter has hit your area again? Snow!!? Did you get some?? Haven't seen you out and about in awhile...hope things are ok with your Dad. I know you have quite a full house these days and everything is running smooth! Just coming by to say hi and that I was thinking about ya! :0)
1/14/2012 2:10:28 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! How are you doing? Did it snow in your area yet? It snowed on Thursday here. They make such a big deal over a few inches of snow. Thank god it didn't snow on WED when Marina was flying home. Yesterday they had delays @ the airport. Glad Marina made it home safely and without any delays. Today Rob drove Marina to school and no one was there. Well it was a 2 hour delay because of the weather. It was only like 3-4 inches of snow! What a pain! Rob had to drive Marina back home and then back to school an hour later!
1/13/2012 3:43:49 PM - 002059460698
I'm trying to get back on the sites and do some visiting. Your site is so pretty and inspirational. I love all of your Christmas pics....they're gorgeous, and I love your beautiful photo books. You do a wonderful job !
1/8/2012 2:06:16 AM - 000070574167
I was just browsing down the covers of your photobooks - Every cover is outstanding - makes you want to open immediately and prepares you to enjoy some super pictures. You've really done a beautiful job there, Debbie.
1/7/2012 4:58:15 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! How are you doing? Any plans for the weekend?

Congratulations on completing your 365 project. I enjoyed viewing it on the other site. Are you going to make a photobook with those pics?

Marina is still in Venezuela and I am missing her like crazy. She is having so much fun. I talk to her, email, blackberry messanger her, and facebook message her at least 15 times a day. Thank god for technology! Today they got up early and went to Colonia Tovar its about 1 hour drive I believe and its a German town. I googled it and its so cool! I did an updated journal entry on my site and put all the info and put some internet pics that I copied and pasted. I can't wait to see all the pics. Marina took my camera. I only sent her with my 50mm lens because I didn't have time to teach her how to work it and to be honest I still don't know how to properly change my lenses and I sit messing with it for like 15 minutes until it goes on. Its a pain and I really should know how to change a lens by now don't you think? LOL! :)

I am going to look at your new photobook now. Have a great weekend! :)
1/6/2012 10:20:04 PM - 002066991916
Wow! You have so many ornaments hanging on your Christmas tree. How tall is that Christmas tree. It looks reaching the ceilling of your house. By the way receive your email I just didn't get a chance to answer it lately because of my work. My email address never change and it is always the same. Let me look around and see what is new to your site.
1/6/2012 2:38:38 AM - 001076975951
Debbie, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Here's to better days. Better health and better things for all in this great nation. Love you ornament header, just beautiful. Looking forward to your spring flower photos. Stay warm and hope spring arrives real soon.
1/5/2012 9:24:20 PM - 001010638415
Hi Debbie, you sound like you really have your hands full!! Hope things all work out for you and your family! I think that Shutterfly has a few glitches going on...I had emails from people that I dont even know saying that they got a email from me. I once had you as a member, but sometime last year I had deleted my site by mistake and had to make a new site. Have a great day!
1/3/2012 5:23:30 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Happy New Year Girlie!! Wow...You had a FULL 2011!!!! I know it will be a fun year with pictures once again! We always enjoy your NW area shots! :0) Take Care Lady and enjoy your week!
1/3/2012 4:07:16 PM - 002025703401
Just stopped by to say Happy Year Debbie!
1/2/2012 3:10:23 PM - 001010638415
Happy New Year Debbie!!
1/1/2012 11:47:50 PM - 000070574167
Happy New Year, Debbie. Sure have enjoyed your pictures in 2011 and expect to follow you around in 2012. I've gotten so many hints from you this year in your photos and new ways to look at things. Keep it coming!
12/31/2011 5:13:15 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Happy New Year!!!! I love your tree and ornament photos. Thanks for stopping by my site. I haven't been able to get on the sites through Shutterfly but Lisa had the link to her 52/365 sharesite on facebook so I clicked and I got on! Isn't that weird?!!!! Only problem now is that I normally don't go on facebook with Marina's laptop because her virus protection ran out. Well just now I thought if I put my sharesite link in my email that maybe I can get on my site and it works. I am so excited!!!!

Miss you. Hope all is well. I am going to look around. We will catch up soon. :)

12/23/2011 6:35:22 AM - 001036406489
Merry Christmas & a blessed 2012 - can't wait to see more pics. Keep on shooting!
12/21/2011 9:24:55 PM - 002029331419

Hello--Debbie--Thank you for your very nice comments on my Shutterfly album "Birds".
Most of the photos were taken on our camping trips in Florida.Some are taken of birds which migrate to Florida.Some come to my property.
Your photos are truly wonderful.Great composition and technique.
12/8/2011 8:58:15 PM - 002029331419
Heeeeyy Debbie....it looks very Christmassy around here... I like it! :0)

Now..Steve needs to get busy and get the rest of the lights outside on! haha!
Catch ya later!!!
12/6/2011 8:42:46 PM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
Thanks for stopping by! Been busy with work and helping my mom with her Christmas decorations. Most of my shopping is done (on-line). Next up wrapping and holiday baking for friends and family. Great to see you on FB too!
11/30/2011 8:46:05 PM - 002029331419
Debbie! How ya doing Girl? I think it's fantastic that you have help in the kitchen! :0) We had a great Thanksgiving! And sounds like you did too! I got my card! Thanks... I'll be getting mine out in a couple of weeks! We went to the River of Lights last night...so much fun! It is down at the Aquarium/Botanical Gardens. I have always wanted to go..and then a cold front would come in and I''d change my mind! Ha! Well we went and had a great time! Are you taking Ethan back to that huge light display you went to last year? He'll love it! How is your Dad doing? I'm so glad they are with you at this time!
Ok, gotta get back to work! TTYL!!
11/30/2011 3:01:35 AM - 002025703401
..... and the winner of the earliest Christmas cards? Debbie! You beat Kay Brashear by one day!

Look at all the beautiful leaves! I'm may have to return one year in the fall. Planning a trip to Oregon in May. I may have to move up there some day! :)
11/28/2011 11:20:27 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,

Hi! How are you doing? Can you believe Christmas is 27 days away?!! Are you ready? Did you put up decorations yet? Will you bake cookies this year with Ethan?

How is Alan doing since his surgery?

Did you go black friday shopping? This was the 1st year that we didn't we are so financially strapped paying for 2-3 places for 17 months. :(

Sorry I have been MIA. I just got back Saturday night from NY and I am still EXHAUSTED! Joe came to Indiana for the 1st time for 3.5 days then we took him back to NY and spent 3 days with him. It was really nice having time with him in NY since the visit in Indiana was so complicated with Rob working 12 hour shifts and leaving 5:30PM every day, Marina being in school and having to drive her and pick her up everyday, then car problems and repairs, then Joe had to be back in the apartment every day for hockey and football games! Next visit Rob will have to be off and Joe's favorite sports teams will have to be not playing.

How was your Thanksgiving weekend? Did you cook, go out to eat, or go to friends or family's for dinner? We had 3 Thanksgivings spread out from Monday until Friday. We did 1 in our apartment in Indiana when Joe was here. Joe helped me make the desserts which was 3 homemade pies and a slush cake. Then Rob helped me get the gizards out of the turkey(grosses me out) and he also peeled and cut the potatoes and I did the rest. Then we went to NY and had Thanksgiving dinner with my dad and his girlfriend Susan in her house. It was so nice. Then on Friday night we went to my cousins and had Thanksgiving dinner with them. It really was the nicest Thanksgiving week in a long time. It was so relaxed, fun, and peaceful. It was a blessing that we were all together unlike last year. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving week as well! :)
11/26/2011 3:47:02 AM - 001062713509
Just thinking about you .... popping in to say hello. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving my friend!
11/23/2011 3:52:18 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!!! LOOOOOOOK at those leaves....ohhh... I just want to go and play around them all!! :0)
Just coming by to send a Happy Thanksgiving wish to you and your family!!

Hi Debbie! Love the changes to your site, you have some great shots of Fall on here!
Well, just wanted to stop and wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. I know things are busy right now for you, but I hope you can take time to just relax and enjoy the weekend. Take care.

Fall was kind of funny around here this year. I will post some on my site here today. BTW, I live in Tacoma and you asked where I took some of my Mt Rainier pics and they were taken at Reflection Lake.
11/20/2011 10:04:05 PM - fb:1198903042
 at Reflection Lake, about 4 miles below Paradise, Mt Rainier.

Beautiful header Debbie! We didn't really have the best colors of fall this year...It's been a odd fall in NY and with our October snow storm just killed all the leaves.

Debbie,
I was so nice chatting with you the other day. Thanks! How did you Halloween go? I went to that Halloween party with my friend Angela which was a blast. They had tons of food, cool decorations, awesome costumes, fun people, a keg, drinks, a band, flaming pumpkins, etc. I was exhausted Saturday and had so much to do. On Sunday we went to a fall festival at a park that reminds us of a park called Chestnut Ridge back home. We loved it. The fall festival was awesome. They had tons of food, hayrides, decorating pumpkins, a balloon designer, games, bonfire, smores, and trunk or treat. It was all FREE!!! They just asked for you to bring a dish to pass! We had so much fun! Then on Halloween I went trick or treating with my friends Christianne, Mary, Britt, their kids and their friends. It was so mcuh fun. Then we went back to Christianne's to have wine and watch movies and then we slept over. Now I am off to pick Marina up from the airport. I will be back soon! :)

Hey Deb,
Its been a while since I came by, you did a great a job getting all the new pictures up! I really like the 3rd one in the header...that whole series of pictures were fabulous!
I just skimmed through the albums, you did a great job capturing all the beauty from wherever you went! Looked like a fabulous trip with a lot of gorgeous sites to see!
Thanks for always coming by and seeing my new stuff! Its been a busy time with the camera lately, but I can't complain...just means we are enjoying life!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
10/12/2011 3:01:10 PM - 002029331419

10/11/2011 1:18:59 AM - 002034447600
Thanks Deb for all the nice comments on the few additions I had to my site. I know you are busy with the family as you had mentioned. Hope it is all going well. Just when things seem to be getting some normalcy . Mom had to have an MRI may need a shunt?? I am enjoying my new grand daughter Marley and of course Luke. I had cuddle day today with Marley and held her the whole time fed her two times. Thursday I am taking Luke to Max and Ruby live at Community Arts Center. I love not working!!!!
Your photos are on the scale 1-10 a ten for sure. I mean it! Joe had day off today so after visiting Luke and Marley we took a back country road home . I wanted to buy some gourds, corn stalk and pumpkins. Drove through Amish farm country. Pennsylvania is beautiful in the fall. Talk again soon Maria
10/10/2011 12:59:29 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! How are you doing? I came back to check out more of your camping pictures and I enjoyed each and every photo I viewed.

We went to Chicago to celebrate Marina's actual birthday. The weather was beautiful. This was our 1st time at the Navy Pier so we walked around and looked at all the shops, took a 30 minute boat ride and tour, walked around the pier, and then ate dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp. Marina had crab legs and said it was the best crab legs she ever had. It was tons of fun! :)
10/10/2011 2:31:05 AM - 001036406489
OMG!! Debbie - I love these fungi pics!!! One of my photograph dreams is to take pics of mushrooms in the forest. Thanks for sharing your great pics!
10/4/2011 6:45:48 PM - 002063504014
Love the home page headers and all the fabulous scenic and nature shots from the Coast Camping trip. Washington has wonderful beauty, the great Northwest as I have heard it called before. I appreciate your eye in capturing the images around you, thank you so much for sharing.
10/3/2011 12:17:16 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, Awesome header on the home page. And love all the recent albums added. You are so talented and have a great eye. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

10/1/2011 2:08:35 PM - fb:1271149118
Debbie, I looked through the West Coast Camping Trip, and I felt like I was looking through National Geographic! You and I must have something in common the 4 photos you picked for your header would have been the top four if I was to pick my favs! I think having the fog made for the great rays of light too! I told my hubby I was going to let him look through they are so scenic and different from the East Coast. Take Care will e mail soon. Mom now having some health issues too will talk again. Love ya Maria

Your camping adventure sounds/looks so great! I'm happy you got to go! I've enjoyed looking through Daisy's album...you did a great job on this...and she's so funny!!
Jamie comes in tomorrow for Fiesta! A year ago you made this crazy trip!! Can you believe it?
Winds from Hurrican Hillary are going to be playing with the weather conditions...but you know us...we'll find something to do! :0) Have a Great weekend!
9/23/2011 1:25:02 AM - 002020640084

9/23/2011 1:23:15 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I am sorry I have been MIA. Thanks for always thinking of me. I sent you a reply last night. Hope everything is going smoothly. I am going to take a look around. :)
9/19/2011 4:04:29 PM - 002086548916
Hi Debbie,
How are you doing? Thanks for coming by to see my cruise pictures. We had a such a good time, and I loved being able to meet more of Rob's family. His mom is so great, and I am so thankful to have her as my MIL. His whole family was so great, and they really welcomed me into their family on our trip. We want to try and make annual trips together, which really could be a lot of fun!
How is the transition going with having your son and family living with you? I think it is great that you have the space and ability to make it work. I hope your son finds work soon.
The soccer tickets sound amazing, front row! Your husband is sure to love it! I hope you will be allowed to take pictures, I imagine there would be some great pictures from the front row!
Well, I should get back to work, just wanted to say hi.
Talk to you soon. Kay
9/14/2011 3:33:09 AM - 001036406489
Debbie, great shots!!! Hope all is well. Here I am to look around and your great photography. Blessings!
9/11/2011 3:15:36 PM - 002020640084
By the way, how is your dad doing?
9/11/2011 1:52:55 PM - 002020640084
Hope you had a fun Labor Day weekend. How was your camping trip? I hope the weather cooperated.

We had fun Labor Day weekend in NY. We had an early bday party for Marina at the a little pizzeria that is 1 of our favorites in our hometown. In the little time we were in NY we squeezed in a ton of visits with family and friends. It was so nice. It was a really emotional visit and I cried for days thinking of leaving Joe and cried for days when I got back to Indiana. Its so hard to leave your only son 500 miles away. :(

This weekend I went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival but the weather didn't cooperate so they didn't set them up, they didn't launch them, and they didn't make them glow! I was bummed out but I did meet a lot of nice people so that was a HUGE bonus. Then on Saturday morning, I went to the Popcorn Festival and seen the parade and walked around downtown to see all the crafts and foods. Then I came home and Marina used the car to go hang out with a friend she met at school. They went go kart racing and had fun. I was so HAPPY!!!

Today we are heading to the beach! I am hoping to get some nice sunset pictures tonight. :)
9/2/2011 3:02:02 AM - 000031826072
Hey, I forgot to mention how cool it was that Jamie and Linda visited and got to do the whale watching tour with you. SO fun!!!!!
9/2/2011 3:00:58 AM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! It was good to hear from you and I know I have been horrible about keeping up with everyone lately. It seems like many people have not been on the share sites as much and instead have been on Facebook or Guru Central or whatever. Summer is just always so busy for me that I seem to fall ar behind on everything. Yes, I finally found time to do some old Gallery browsing this week and spotted your two latest books. I just loved them both! It is still crazy hot here. We broke another record today with 108 degrees! If I didn't have a lake in my back yard and air conditioning I would be in misery! Stacey and I miss you too, we had such a fun time in NM. Wow, it's going to be different with you son, DIL and grandson moving in, but how wonderful for them that they are able to have you there for them. My heart goes out to them. The economy is still so tough and being laid off has got to be so hard. I will keep them in my prayers! So, it sounds like your camping trip will be fun and great for pictures. We'll be having lots of people over to our house for the usual boating and grilling this weekend. Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend, my friend! xxxo
9/1/2011 8:36:58 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! So sorry on the calendar event! That was our original date...we don't leave until the 14th! It is set up with the Calendar that you can add on your page. Then when you add something, it'll shoot out a message to your members...or not...you can fix the settings. I didn't mean for it to be sent out... oh well! :0)
Have a terrific time on your camping trip!! Stay warm and dry!! But mostly enjoy your time!!
Have a terrrific weekend too!! I think I'm going to grab Hannah tomorrow and to to the pool with her...we have such a good time!
8/30/2011 12:17:13 PM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
Been reading around that things are still crazy busy for you. Just remember to slow down and occasionally take a minute for yourself!
Take care my friend!
8/30/2011 2:25:25 AM - 002086548916
Hi Debbie, thanks for coming by for a visit. I enjoy reading your comments. I think I read on my mom's page that your family is moving in with you. I know that it will be an adjustment, but how fortunate for them that this is able to happen. I hope your son finds work really soon. What is the unemployement rate out there? I hope your grandson can make some new friends quickly at this new school too. That is always hard.
Rob and I leave for our cruise to Mexico this weekend. I wish I was going to Italy with my parents, but that just didn't work out. Instead we will go with his family to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. It will be good to spend a week with his family, since we haven't seen them since the wedding.
I plan on taking a lot of pictures, so I will be sure to create a page when I get home! I get to see Jamie for an ice cream cone in Galveston, so I am really looking forward to that! We won't have a lot of time, but I am grateful for at least an hour with her!
Well, have a great week, and I'll come by when we get home.
8/29/2011 1:31:40 AM - 001023411097
WOW, Debbie you know how to make these photos pop right off the page. You have the ability to look at our beautful world at take that perfect shot. I miss you, I not been really active with Shutterfly and I need to tell Rachel. I feel badly about it. I just love our group of friends. We have something special between all of us. Hugs to you and I need to to let me know about your daddy. I loved and miss my daddy. Talk to him often and tell him how you love him. I need to look around. I often get so much to do that I look and dont' comment and that is wrong of me. I know how much it means to me when you come by and see my pics.
Hugs bj
8/25/2011 12:26:20 PM - 002094604560
You left a kind comment about my Bermuda shutterfly book a while ago Debbie, so I had to come over and visit your site! WOW - What stunning photos you take! You are so talented with a very keen eye for those special details and angles that turn a picture from good to GREAT. I especially love Daisy Mae's album, Sky surprises and the ballooning one too....well, I love them all!
8/23/2011 4:26:49 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! I know you must be busy with your folks...your always so good about stopping in!.. My FIL is back at the hospital again. Will be down there tonight. ... it could be a long week. Anyway....had to stop in and say hi!!
8/23/2011 2:44:45 PM - 002025703401
Hey Debbie!
Try to get started on a trip book. I think the hardest part is just trying to figure out where to start! Hope you guys are still enjoying beautiful weather!
8/22/2011 12:30:12 PM - 004027892230

Debbie just wondering how the family is doing.? Not taking photos very much. Dad in hospital with pneumonia since August 11th Mom's birthday. Since April when I retired going in many directions. Their house for sale realtors showing almost every day. So much work. Anyway your page is gorgeous and wish I had half the talent you have. I have new lens no time to play with it but got the cutest picture of Luke in our garden with Pappy picking tomatoes with the lens. I will put it on the outside shutterfly site so you can see. Take Care Maria
8/11/2011 6:22:39 PM - 002029331419

Great shots above, Debbie!!! So beautiful that day.
8/4/2011 5:07:29 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
How are you doing? How is your dad doing?

Thanks so much for checking out all my fair photos. I really enjoyed reading your wonderful comments. It was fun for me to get back in the swing of things and take my camera out and to post them that same week! I feel really good to be able to share my world and to share fun pics!
I am in NY and we did get some much needed family time and went to P.F Changs yesterday and my dad even met us out there. Joe only had to work the 1 job yesterday so we all hung out and after dinner we went to visit my aunts. Now today Joe had to work both jobs so I only got a quick glimpse and he is gone until 1:30AM. Rob and Marina had to go get all her stuff so I am waiting on them to get back. It is a nice cool day here in West Seneca, NY (the suburbs of Buffalo, NY) and last night it was like 65 degrees so Joe's apartment stayed at a decent 80 degree temp. It gets so hot up here in his apartment so I was happy that it was cool last night outside and even with it being 80 up here there was a really nice cool breeze and I was actually chilly which I would much rather be at night. Tonight we have plans to hang out with my friend tonight and get some wings. We had so much business to take care of here in NY and its such a brief visit but I am glad we squeezed in some family time with Rob and the kids. Then it was a bonus to be able to have my dad meet us at the restaurant and enjoy a nice dinner. We also were grateful to go visit my aunt, her grandkids, and great grandson. My cousin Marianne is a grandmother and has a grandson Alex who will be 7 this month and has a new grandson Collin who we never got to see and he's already 6 months. Welll my cousin Marianne's daughter Erika was home with Collin and we got to visit them. Collin is so adorable! He's so chunky and he let me love him all up! I was in all my glory! :)
8/3/2011 9:44:35 PM - 002029331419
Look how pretty your lilacs are!! I'm buzzing by to say hi!! How's your Dad? My FIL is still pretty much the same. I had to tell you that my Uncle did a 26 day trip in July and...he went to Crater Lake! :0) They went all over...but he has like 450K miles on his van and they just kept going! WOW!! Anyway...I'll look back for your pics with Jamie soon..!
8/3/2011 2:43:42 AM - fb:1788658167
Debbie you are so good about visiting all the Shutterfly family. I wish I was as dedicated as you and I am so glad you are a Guru. Our friendship was good in New Mexico. Thank you for all you do to make all of us feel so good about our pictures. Girlie you Crater Lake ablum rocks.

Hey Debbie!!...Your Headers are so pretty!
So are you ready for your whale adventure? I think you'll have a terrific time!! We got a rain shower last night...the first in so many months..I can't remember! A real shower, not just enough to mess up the windshield! LOL! I'm headed to Colorado on Sat, going to see my nephews that are in the military and my little sis...she's moving to Texas! I need to spend some time with my Mom too! Steve's Dad is being released to come home - so his wife has been busy getting the home ready for him. They are putting in a hospital bed and all. I don't know if this is a good move, time will tell. Anyway! Have a terrific week and I'll hope to hear from you next week!! :0)
7/19/2011 9:28:04 PM - 002086548916

Debbie, I love the flower pics above especially the top 4. I am not getting to do much photography. Lots of Mom and Dad issues need to settle first. My sister and I have our work cut out. Mom and Dad in assisted living. Every room upstairs, every drawer,the attic, garage, and downstairs packed high with STUFF! Today we just started sorting . Would like to sell house before winter. I love all your work and try to see what is new or what I haven't checked out. This is my relaxation. Hopefully maybe this fall Joe and I can go somewhere that I can take some photos. I also watch Luke 3 days this summer. We have been going to the pool very hot 90's here. Luke is one special grandson . Luke will have baby sister August 26th I am excited to be having a grand daughter. Life is good. Please keep in touch. I did be a bad girl and got another lens for my Nikon...need some time to play around with it. Take Care Friend Maria Ps I did join Susquehanna Shutterbugs and August meeting is showing the 5 pictures we sent in on a scavenger hunt for example old grave, something gross etc .Be Safe Hope your parents are doing well.Would sometime if you could e mail me your home address would love to send something in mail.

Hi Debbie, how is your summer? Your headers are so pretty. I am sure that this is a beautiful time of year for Washington with all the green bushes and flowers! When I go running, there is some honesuckle that I can smell as I pass a house and it smells so good! I hope our monsoons will kick in soon, so maybe we will see some rain over here soon. It sure would be nice!!! The clouds build up in the afternoons and we can feel the humidity rise, but then we don't get any moisture. Oh well. How are your parents? Are you they doing okay? Well, just wanted to stop for a quick minute. TTYL!

We are getting very excited about our trip! See ya soon!!!

Hi Debbie!! How was your 4th? Did you get to spend it with Ethan? The weekend was pretty low key around here for us, and that was just fine! But last night we met at my work and watched fireworks around the city from the deck of my office. I work on the 2nd floor! No elevators...just stairs! But we sealed off the stairs and Hannah and a little friend had the run of the deck and had a wonderful evening! It was pretty hot until the sun started going down and then it cooled off and it was nice!
Kay came over and she had her little P/S so I know she grabbed a few shots! We were to far from the works for me to use my camera...so I held Naomi for part of the evening! :0)
I had to come by and say Hi!! Hope you have a great week! I think mine will be short - just Tue, Wed & Thur. When I drove up to the office...no cars!! I'm the only one here! LOL!!
7/1/2011 4:40:29 PM - 002042320553
Wow Debbie, you have some beautiful photography here, Friends United members would love to be able to view what you have achieved with your photography. I am so glad Lisa kindly "introduced" your photography to me.

Hello Debbie! Hope a is well. I havent been on to much lately. Have a great 4th of July!!
6/27/2011 3:57:08 PM - 002025703401
Get rid of the rain but keep the cooler temps for me! Can't wait for the end of July!
6/24/2011 4:56:21 PM - 002033637247
Hi Debbie. Thanks for taking time to comment. You are indeed a "guru" based on the great photo albums on your site. What fun we can now have thanks to digital photography!
6/23/2011 3:49:48 AM - 002063504014
Love your site, looks like we have similar interests in photography. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on various books at my site, I am happy I had a chance to explore your site some more as well.
Reno is in the high dessert but is nestled on the back side of the Sierra Nevada mountains where there is a bunch of snow, which makes for an abundance of lakes and some waterfalls. Lake Tahoe is less than an hour away where I do most of my hiking, which like Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Excellent outdoor recreation and scenic marvels in this part of the country, makes for some fun adventures and supports my new hobby of scenic photography. Look forward to sharing with each other more in the future :o)
6/22/2011 5:55:47 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie.... Pleaaaase send your rain our way!! 2/10 of an inch - through the month of May!! That's it!! dry, dry, dry! :0( Push it our way!!
Naomi is here now....she's doing fantastic and I've got to see her every day!
I know your loving your flower time right now...you might have a warm fall and then it would make great color with the trees!!
Just wanted to come by and check on you! :0)
6/21/2011 9:17:40 PM - 000070574167
What an awesome photo of the mountain - wish I had been there but your picture is the 2nd best thing. Thanks for stopping by and looking through my new shots. These share sites are such fun for seeing other parts of the country. Hope you are finding some time to relax and enjoy the beauty you are sharing with all of us.
6/16/2011 1:33:44 PM - 002059624475
Hi Debbie, I love the beautiful nature pictures on your home page. I am SO glad you stopped by and signed my guest book. You and I have something in common, trying to figure out these computers :) I've signed on before and haven't been able to upload a picture the first time too, also tried to delete and start over again with the same results. Mt. Rainier sounds great! You'll have to dress warm for that even though it's summertime - right? Thank for also remembering my retirement. I am so grateful that I could retire at 55 - my job was getting very stressful for me. I finished 12 years at South high school, did 9 years at Centennial high school, 2 middle school years, so I had enough years to retire - woohoo! Have a good June and stop by my site anytime :)
6/16/2011 1:57:22 AM - 002086548916
Hey Debbie,
Thanks for coming by and saying hi. Your comments on my camping pictures were really nice. We had a good time! The first night my parents were there it was really cold, but the second night Rob and I were there and it was a lot warmer! I hope we can go a few times more this summer. I love getting up into the mountains!
We had a nice time with my Grandpa last night, he really appreciated everyone coming to see him. I am glad to hear that your dad is home and just has therapy a few days a week. I hope his therapy continues to make him stronger so he doesn't end up in the hospital aagin.
We are just waiting on the baby to come, and then our cruise in September...and that's about all that's new on this side of town. I hope you have a great weekend and can relax and catch up on some sleep! I'll talk to you later!
6/14/2011 3:00:16 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie!! How are ya girl!? We are going to be at the nursing home with Steve's Dad tonight , celebrating his 81 birthday! It will be good to be with everyone! He's kinda the same. Not enough strength to do much on his own, and yet... hanging in there!
What have you been up too?
My first Digital... a D70s... has just returned from the Nikon Hospital....hehe!! :0) Kay picked him up last night and I'll get him today! I wonder what was wrong with it...but I think I wore the Shutter out!! :0O You would think that I liked to take pics or something! LOL!! I had it for about 5 years and man...did I put that thing through a work out! Scotland, Alaska - other trips,weddings, family etc.... Anyway, I can't wait to get in back in my hands!!
Your so sweet to pop in at different times ans I always enjoy your comments!! HAve a great week.....the new baby will be here between now and Saturday!!! I may not be around to much this weekend!! haha!
6/11/2011 7:08:44 PM - 002086548916
Thanks so much for coming by site and commenting on the baby shower pictures. We had so much fun...even with all the wind. We are so excited for the baby to get here in a week!
Have a great weekend and thanks again for coming by!
6/7/2011 6:49:09 PM - 001010638415
Great header!
6/6/2011 3:49:57 AM - 000084822188
Hi Debbie, Great site! I see that I've somehow missed some great books from you. Like I've already said, your Crater Lake photos and book are fabulous. However, even though I've lived in Oregon for 4 years now, I have not been to Crater Lake. In fact, I haven't done much of any traveling in the last 4 years.
I've been busy near where I live. When the weather is not nice, I don't feel like traveling. And, when the weather is good, I want to get out on my bicycle.
Also, there is so much wildlife to photograph when I ride. For example, both today and yesterday, I came across a Red-tailed Hawk sitting on a fence. In both cases I was able to get to about 10 to 15 feet from it.
Anyway, I think it could be fun to get together with you and Jenna. I live 13 miles east of downtown Portland and about 35 miles from Woodland, WA. You can let me know at tn3270@comcast.net.

I thought I was in Botanical garden. Your header photos are so beautiful and I can smell the spirit of those beautiful flowers. You always did an excellent job. Thanks for sharing.
6/5/2011 1:58:08 AM - 002011906434
The photo of "Mount Pilchuck in the evening light" is absolutely breathtaking! What a stunning shot!

Thank you so much for the nice comment on my photo book! :) It was such fun to make, and it was twice as much fun (if not, more) to see the look on her face when she opened it!
6/2/2011 2:44:01 PM - 001071660531
Hi:

Responding to your kind comments on my butterfly and dragonfly books. If you are serious about macro photography, I suggest you take a look at www.macronatureforum.com run by Mike Moats. Free to join and comment and receive comments on your photos. I joined a couple of months ago and it seems like a good group with a number of excellent photographers.

Another useful resource is www.bugguide.net sponsored by Iowa State University that can help ID insect photos.

Best,

Fred Siskind

Wow Debbie, what a nice break to stop here and see your gorgeous flowers!! I have been the worst at visiting sites and like you i hardly have time to update mine as frequent as I'd like. Too much going on and with your parents, its hard to always be on the computer. You are a great daughter. Thank you for the postcard - it made my day. I'm not sure if you got my email.
Thats cool you saw the Shutterfly video, its kind of long and its hard to know who is who. I think i recognized, Michael Nelson, Connie, Earl, Kara, me and I think that may be all. Not sure though. Oh, I think Barb J is in there too.
Thanks for your comments regarding my 5k. I am still quite giddy about it.
Its rainy and cold this weekend, not fun to go to the lakes. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
Take care Debbie and keep in touch!
5/25/2011 2:51:49 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie!! Look at these great colors!! Your page is always full of color...I Like it! :0) I got the coolest package in the mail!! It was after we got back from camping! Thanks so much! It is going to be so much fun to put this little puzzle together....I will probably have to wait until my hand heals from surgery. I have carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand on Friday, and in about a month I'll have my right hand done, so I'll just be using one hand or the other for awhile! Be patient with me and my communications! :0)
Steve Dad hasn't improved to much. He finally understands that if he can't stand up on his own, they won't let him go home. So we'll see where this all leads. Anyway...I hope your Dad is doing better! Is he home now? Thanks so much for thinking of me Debbie!! :0)
5/21/2011 11:11:52 PM - 002034447600
Pretty, Pretty, Pretty. You must have been out doing what you do best! I am itching to have a good day out, but life has thrown a curve-ball right now. We have had record rain here... you would think I live in Seattle! So behind in yard work etc. Today the sun and blue skies and warm temps so I finally washed all the windows of my enclosed patio.Just finished supper and hubby took my mothers meal over. I mowed their yard and hubby did ours .Enjoying looking at your photos. You would be a winner in our local shutterbug club! Take Care and Enjoy every click. Love Ya Maria PS thanks for the comments and looking at my pics. If you know anyone who would like to look at my site let me know.
5/18/2011 4:05:51 PM - 001024320926
I got the best postcard in the mail yesterday!! Thank you, I love it and yes I would love, love to come up there and see all the beautiful things you have photographed!
I hope things are going well for your dad, been thinking about you and your parents!!
Can you believe that our Project 365's are almost half done!!!
5/18/2011 3:37:45 PM - 002086548916
Hey Debbie. Just stopping by to see what is new! Haven't been by in a while so I figured it was about time. I hope you are doing okay. How are your parents. Any big plans for this weekend?
5/18/2011 3:06:36 PM - 002025703401
Read that you took the Clinton ferry home. Did you get pictures of the Mukilteo Lighthouse?
5/18/2011 2:45:49 PM - 002020640084

Hey Debbie...how's your folks doing? How are you too?... my FIL is still in the hospital, he'll be there awhile. It's hard to see them with such health issues! :0( Anyway, wanted to come say hi!! Thinking of you!
5/16/2011 3:08:56 PM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
Received your tulip postcard, we definitely have to do the tulip fields together someday!
Hope your dad is doing better. You and your family are in my prayers.

Debbie, What's going on Girlie!? Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my book! Your so sweet about checking out everyone's books and I appreciate it! :0)
What are you doing this weekend? You have more plans for a Botanical Garden? Kay and I are going to a place just south of Santa Fe....for a Civil War re-enactment! I've never been to one! It's supposed to be beautiful here this weekend...it's cool today!!
Take care!! Have a terrific day!

Hi Debbie! I'm a little late...but didn't get on the computer until tonight..! Hope you had a terrific birthday! I'm so happy that your canvas turned out so well!! Beautiful picture!!
Have a great Mother's Day!
5/8/2011 4:32:09 AM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! I've been so terrible about visiting sites and keeping up and I miss you I stopped in to check out the Crater Lake book and WOW it is breathtaking in every way! Sharp, crisp,. colorful beauty on every single page. What a fabulous day! Truly it was a joy to view, my friend!
I hope you have a wonderrful Mother's Day tomorrow! Hugs!
5/7/2011 1:11:10 PM - 002025703401
Happy Happy Birthday Debbie!!!!
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
5/6/2011 2:48:09 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Did you get your canvas yet?? How'd it turn out? Did you already have a place in your home you planned to put it? I have some yard work this weekend...then I'm going to concentrate on some walls in my house. My home is not very big - and doesn't have real big walls or high ceilings to put to much on - so I have to really think about it!! Love the Doggie Headers! :0) Sadie loves to roll around in the grass too!
Your Golden sunset...did you walk down to the water for this? I thought that you said you weren't to far...boy when the sun reflects it really lights up that water, huh!
Have a wonderful Mother's Day...I hope you get some time with your son and Ethan! :0)
5/6/2011 1:02:03 AM - 001076975951
Debbie, thanks for stopping by and saying Hello. Hope all is well with you. I have been MIA but I hope to be back to explore the sites real soon. Have a Happy Mother's day.
5/4/2011 6:32:04 PM - 001010638415
Beautiful sunset!
5/4/2011 3:43:52 AM - 001036406489
Debbie, hello - hope all is well - Luv the family pics in the header and this sunset shot is amazing!
5/2/2011 4:42:08 PM - 000040317923
Hi Debbie - Happy Spring! Your header photos are soooo gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful. I love the first one - the perspective on the rows and rows of flowers..it's just breathtaking. I hope everything is well and your Spring is going great!
4/29/2011 6:48:34 AM - 002020640084
Hope you had a wonderful Easter! Rob was gone 500 miles away and missed another holiday! Rob, Joe and Marina all had to work and I was apartment hunting for Joe! I have so much to tell you its been so crazy and so many changes. We have 3 moves in 4 weeks. We have 1 done and 2 to go and I will still be super busy the next 3 weeks. Hope everything is going good for you and your family. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments and your sweet emails. I miss all our chats, SF communication through the sites, and all the emails.
Rob is on the train on his way home. I have to try to squeeze in 3 hours of sleep tonight. By the way, I love the new spring headers! :)
4/28/2011 9:54:05 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, I loved hearing about your grandson! He sounds like a really nice young man and I love that he loves legos :) Rider was a lego nut too. I would have been bummed about the Easter eggs too, gosh they grow up so fast!
Loving all the cherry blossoms and flowers your photographing, beautiful time of year!! I bought some 5 dollar tulips on Friday before Easter, left them here at work over the weekend, on Monday I came in and they were beautiful!! Wow! Still today they are gorgeous. I'm going to be sad when they finding start to fade, seriously I can't recall having tulips so pretty before and stay beautiful thru all the stages of blooming. I have taken pictures of them for three photos of the day so far. I can't imagine a whole field of them looking that wonderful. I'm sure you can since you've gotten so many great tulip photos!
I hope that the bad storms and weather are staying out of your area!!
4/24/2011 6:01:16 PM - 002035648808
Happy and Blessed Easter Debbie. I hope you all are having a wonderful celebration today. Loving the headers on your page. They are breathtaking. Of course, I do admire your work. You have just keep getting better and better with your pics. The color in your pics are spectacular and I always enjoy the vibrant colors. Well, it looks like my sister will be moving there this summer and I guess I will just have to hop a plane soon and pay your beautiful part of the country and you a visit. Can't wait. I am sure you have heard of the horrible stroms we are having here in our part of the country. My sister flew out of the airport a few hours before the tornado hit. WOW!
4/23/2011 2:04:40 AM - 002025703401
Besure to let me know if make it to the gardens and when you post your pictures. We loved it!
4/22/2011 6:12:13 PM - 001010638415
WOW!! Your flowers photos above are beautiful!
4/21/2011 3:59:22 PM - 002029331419
Looking at some terrific headers, Debbie!! Coming by to wish you a wonderful Easter Weekend!! Will you see your folks or Ethan? What ever you do ...I hope you have a great time!!
I've been planting some seeds around the yard...we'll see what is willing to come up and brave the heat this summer! :0)
As always.......you site is just tops and I love your pics!!
4/20/2011 4:06:12 PM - 002025703401
Love, love, love the tulips! Hope to return there some year for the tulip festival again. We had a wonderful time. Your photos are beautiful! Are the rhododendrons blooming yet? Fell in love with them too. Have you ever been to Meerkerk Gardens on Whidbey Island? Beautiful!!!
4/16/2011 3:17:17 AM - 000070574167
I LOVE the new header - It just jumps out at you - so bright and happy looking. Thanks for stopping by my site and giving me such nice feedback. Looks like we're both enjoying spring. Your large purple flower is just magnificent - it's detail is awesome.
4/15/2011 6:41:24 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! How was your week? Is it your turn to help with your folks? I see that the Tulip farm was showing you how bright and pretty it can look!!....LOVELY!!
I enjoyed looking through your Hidden Treasures book also... where were these taken? Some of those items are still in fantastic shape!! What a great opportunity you had to check them out!!
We are finally going to have a little bit better weather this weekend...whew!!...The wind has been just crazy!! I'll plan to work in my yard!
Whatever you do ! Have a terrific time!
4/14/2011 6:21:31 PM - 002035648808
Breathtaking headers Deb....love your work. You certainly have some marketable work here. LOving it. Hope all is well in your part of the world. How are your parents? My sister will be moving to Seattle this summer. Hmmm, now I will have to look you up when I come visit her someday soon :)
4/14/2011 6:18:59 PM - 000031826072
Wow - everytime I see your breathtaking scenery pictures I get the itch to come live with you!!!!!! LOL
How have you been? How are your parents doing?
I am so behind on everything after going on vacation. I still haven't finished editing and posting all the Mexico pics and then I had prom pictures and next thing will be Jordan's graduation...exhausting (but fun!)
Hope you and Al have a great weekend and I'll be back soon to catch up some more!!
Hugs!
4/12/2011 8:39:00 PM - 001024320926
Look at that field of baffodils, awesome!! Beautiful flowers pictures Debbie.
I am glad to hear that things may be slowing down for you. I hope that your parents are doing well.
Loving all those pictures in your project 365, love all those trees in bloom. What are they? I love that pink!!!
Thanks for the visits and comments. I have been so busy with the project 365 and work that I can barely keep up anymore. Today I decided I needed to see the sites ;)
4/12/2011 3:36:23 AM - 002063504014
I love the photo above in the middle, the close up of the purple flower, wow that is magnificent. Thanks for visiting my site, next time you visit, I have numerous photos from Crater Lake on my Vacation page! Blessings to you.
4/11/2011 2:20:51 PM - 002086548916
Hi Debbie! Thanks for coming by my site last night. The car break in was just a big hassle, but really, it all worked out. I am so glad that my camera wasn't in my car! I usually keep it cleaned out so I am glad that I didn't forget to take everything in with me.
Glad you are doing well, and that you were able to have fun with your grandson last week.
Take care and keep taking pictures!
4/9/2011 4:43:51 PM - 001036406489

Hey Debbie!! So good to hear that your back! It does take a lot to hit the sites...I know! But thanks for stopping by! I know it's hard when our parents are aging and their health isn't so good....but what a blessing you are to your Mom and Dad!! I'm glad your brother can help too! Steve's Dad's health isn't so good these days and he'll be 81 in June!! I see that your adding new color from your 2011 flower collection!! Beautiful!! You live in such a wonderful place for flowers!! It's so dry and hot here....they have to be pretty tough to do well!!
I'll get to be around Hannah this weekend, I'm teaching her Mommy to make homemade Tamales and we'll be celebrating Rob's birthday..so I'm working on my house chores this week - so I can play this weekend!! LOL!! Take care and I will see you around!!
4/4/2011 2:03:06 PM - 001010638415
Hi Debbie, I once had you as a member, but since I had to make a new site I cannot figure out how to add you again?
4/3/2011 2:08:17 PM - 002020640084
I love all the new additions here! Sorry its been so long since I visited but life's been so hectic. Then my laptop is on the fritz again! I am sneaking on Marina's right now! LOL!
4/3/2011 2:02:46 PM - 002020640084
I just wrote you a long comment and it got lost. Sigh.....!!!!! I am heading out but I was thinking of you! Have a great week! I love the headers! :)
4/3/2011 3:56:01 AM - 004001374344

Deb, How are you? hope all is well.  Sorry to bother you but I misplaced Barbars Jeans phone number/address; you had given it to me a little while back and have been thinking of her latley. 
I wondered if I could get that from you one more time ?  do you know how she is?

Hi Debbie!! I hope your week has gone by smoothly and I know you've enjoyed your week with your parents!! I just love your crocus blooming out...so pretty! It really is getting to be spring! Before we get any color down here...we have the juniper and the allergies start up! yuck!
I have a few new spring flower shots up from our trip to San Diego a couple of weekends ago...If you have a chance ...come by when you get home!
I know your hubby and doggies are going to be so happy so see you home!! :0)
3/17/2011 3:04:52 PM - 002020640084
WOW!!!! Debbie the hearders are stunning! Did you just take these this year? Are you already having spring like weather in your area? I hope spring is coming soon here. Today its nice out but in this area we could get snow in April.

How is your dad doing? How is your mom doing?

Sorry I have been MIA on the sites. I haven't been in the gallery much but I loved your new sunset, sunrise, & cloud photobook. I have been busy with the SHUTTERFLY FRIENDS GROUP on FLICKR. I started some contests and games this month which were really fun. I want to make the mother/daughter vacation photobook soon but I have so many photos I feel overwhelmed. I may just do a South Beach one. Then possible each port. Then maybe a favorites photobook that ties it all together. I think I will have to do 3-5 photobooks. I'm not sure though. I just think its overwhelming to have someone sit and look at a 100 page photobook. I usually do all my photobooks in less than 40 pages.

Rob was home briefly over the weekend. It went by fast and the kids had work and school so they didn't see much of Rob. Then Rob is still working on the huge basement project so he spent 14 hours one day doing that. Rob will miss St. Patrick's day, Joe's bday tomorrow, & the St. Patty's Day parade. :(

I can't believe my baby boy will be 19 tomorrow! Joe and his friend got a hotel room to go to Canada to gamble at the casino. They are so excited! :)

Thinking of you and had to stop by! Hope all is well! Sorry I have been MIA but life is in such turmoil and I've been really stressed out. I am hoping and praying things work out with this relocating thing. Its been a rough almost 7 months. Every time I think we have a plan it doesn't work out. I wish it wasn't so complicated! Sigh.....!

Anyways, do you have any St. Patrick's Day plans? I made cards like 8 weeks ago and never mailed them yet. I should still send them.

Here is a little something irish to brighten your day:

An Irish Friendship Wish

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you


Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)

Hello Debbie, thank you for all your wonderful comments on my santos-photography page. My website is quite new as you noticed, and I haven't worked on networking on shutterfly much yet. Is becoming a guru a big part of this?
I would love to add a section where you and other members can also add pictures, very interested in seeing your spider pictures!
And I will be very interested in joining your nature group if possible.
Speak soon, thanks again,
Luke.

Hi Debbie,

Just wrote to you but I forgot to sign in first so don't think it will show up so I'll write again.

Your flowers are GORGEOUS!! So are your
sky shots!! You take beautiful photos!

I laughed at your saying that you are a tourist
in your hometown -- I am just like that also!
Especially when I go into NYC and take photos
(I am from New York - now have lived in Jersey
for 20 years).

Thank you for the compliments on my Philadelphia Flower Show books. I only went one day - spent 5 hours and took 1400 pictures! It was breathtaking - not just the flowers but the displays!

Taking photos and making photobooks is therapy for me. I lost my beloved son, Glenn,
three years ago. It helps me get through the
days and calms my nerves.

Again - beautiful site you have and thanks for
the compliments on my books.

Take care,
Nancy
3/11/2011 12:50:26 PM - 002048582041
Ok, your sky surprises book - phenomenal!
3/11/2011 12:49:41 PM - 002048582041
Wow, Debbie, I would like to say that your Macro work on flowers is amazing. This is the kind of photography I wish to produce, and will soon be part-taking in another closer to nature book, which hopefully will be up to the standard of your own work. Just fantastic! It must be grat to realise you can be a tourist in your own hometown! I would like to add your site to my friend list if I can find out how! Thaks for your wonderful comments on my book as well. Thanks Debbie!
Luke Wilson, Santos-Photography.
3/11/2011 3:13:56 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie. Congrats on your flower book being feautred. It was well deserved. I loved all the pics that you chose to put in it. I hope all is well in your part of the country. Thanks so much for the surpirse BD call. How wonderufl for you to think of me on my BD. Even though we do try to forget that we are another year older, ahahhaaha. I hope things will settle down and you can take a road trip for some much need relaxation. You have had so much on your plate lately. I love that you keep your camera ready and take pics as often as possible. I would imagine that it is such a great stress release. Blessings to you and your lovely family and I will pray that your parents continue to be on the mend :)
3/6/2011 12:05:32 AM - 001062713509
Thinking of you ~ hope all is well with your parents. I know you have been extremely busy and could use a vacation! Your pictures as usual are just breath taking and so inspiring.
3/5/2011 7:40:17 PM - 002025703401
Spring time is here!!!
3/4/2011 2:10:14 AM - 002059460698
I'm back again to look at this page. I just love all of the flowers! I haven't had any luck growing flowers down here in FLorida, so I'm enjoying looking at yours. They are Gorgeous and you captured them beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
3/3/2011 3:22:01 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie!! I know you've been helping out your folks this week, are you getting to come home for the weekend? I know you miss your home so much when your gone, but what a great blessing you are to your folks when your there to be helping them out!!
I'm headed out for the weekend tomorrow...won't be back until Sunday night.
I am so excited to see that spring is starting to pop up around in a lot of areas! Not so much here yet! We can still get freezes and snow for March. I love all of the beautiful flower shots that you have on your header!! It sure does make me look forward to seeing more color then Brown and Brown around here for winter. Ok, we do have some white (snow) ... but even that's been awhile!
Take care and I hope you have a great weekend!
3/1/2011 7:43:39 PM - 002059460698
It has been forever since I was out visiting the sites, and it's obvious I've been missing lots! Everyone's sites are so inviting and inspiring.....I just love them all. I love your beautiful flowers on this page. It's a reassurance of the spring that lays ahead. Your photography is just beautiful. I'm going to take some time and look around your site.
2/28/2011 10:27:06 AM - 002065887734
This page is a true delight, Debbie. I love the large photo above the Guestbook. This picture is wonderful. You can even see the fuzz on the stems! Beautiful colors also. I got to check out your Rose Page briefly and your Sky Surprises book is incredibly lovely. You have set the photos together in such a great way and the photos are works of art in a 'stand alone' way. I especially like pages 8 & 9 and 22-23. Gorgeous!!! (Then of course there is 10 & 11. Your layouts are perfect!) You've been busy. I'm hanging in there but it's something new ever day. My best to you! Barb
2/27/2011 3:59:49 AM - 001023411097
WOW Debbie what a delightful page you have, I love your photography and it is amazing how it brings out our personality in our pictures. Bright shinning and I love it.
2/27/2011 1:07:59 AM - 002066991916
Gorgeous flowers on your homepage. Looks that you have been busy taken all of these beautiful flowers. Wonderful shot!
2/24/2011 3:19:57 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Yes! We are Back! I'm trying to get 5 days of work into 3! Tuesday was kind of a wash too...because I was so tired I was lucky to show up at work! LOL!
We had a great trip!! It was beautiful!! I learned more stuff on my camera..which is great, because that was what this was for me! I didn't realize how fast that train was coming..so a few of my pics look Abstract! But I did get some good ones and the others did too....so I won't be sad that there aren't any pics from the weekend!! It was brisk outside, but not freezing, so the Texas gals survived just fine! It's so dry here though...they had a hard time with that!
Look at all of your beautiful new spring flower headers!! Is it really time for the flowers to start coming up!? I'm so excited!! It's been nice for a few days...but I dread the wind to be kicking up here pretty soon!
Thanks so much for stopping by...and your sweet comments on Hannah!
It's always fun to see you around ....and sometimes I'm right behind you in the Gallery!! LOL!! :0)
Have a terrific weekend, Deb! ... And I'm glad to hear of the improvements on your folks!!
2/20/2011 9:44:42 PM - 000076738705
how is the family Deb? I havnt been able to contact Barbara; if you contact her let her give her my love. I hope she is ok. Absolutly enjoying the rose page; Cant wait to try some myself with the new camera. Miss you-
2/16/2011 12:11:48 AM - 001024320926
Beautiful flowers Debbie, the headers are great!! I know you've had a lot going on this winter. I hope that spring brings good things your way!!
I think I have spread myself a little thin with the Project 365, the share sites and my work, trying to find a balance again. I was in the Gallery the other day and it is so inspiring in there!!!
I have about three books to finish. Plus you know I'll want to do one after Durango too. Looking forward to getting away though, some down time!
Your Holiday cheer book is wonderful!
2/15/2011 7:09:00 PM - 000031826072
Hi Deb! Oh my gosh - well no wonder Al couldn't see to sweep. He won't have any excuse after the cataract surgery, though, will he? LOL
I hope you two had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Give big hugs to your parents for me and take care of YOURSELF!
Hugs!
2/14/2011 4:54:08 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I stopped by to send you this long distance greeting:
♥ Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

Hope you and Alan get to have a perfect day together! xoxo
2/13/2011 5:23:08 PM - 002035648808
Oh, just curious. What has happened with Barbara Jean. I got an email from her a while back and it sounds as if she is extremely ill and I heard that she has moved to an assisted living place? Let me know please. I would like to send her a card or something. Thanks.
2/13/2011 5:22:05 PM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie. I love all the changes that you have made to your site. The flower pictures have me longing for spring so much. Thanks so much for the kind words about Mary and Jeff. Yes, they found out for sure that they had lost the baby this past Thursday. It was very upsetting to all of us, but the doctor did say that there should not be any problems down the line. I hope they are right about that. I know you have been so busy with your parents. I bet you are completly worn out. No worries about being out of touch my friend. Everyone has been very busy with their own lives. I don't hear from anyone too much anymore. Outside of Guru and Shooting Goobs, everything else is pretty quiet out there. Even facebook goes days at a time with no communication. I am sure everyone is longing for spring. Yep, I am going to Durango. Larry is going with me. He will get to meet some of the Goobs. I sure wish you and your husband could join us there. I think it would be a grand time. I am really enjoying my new projects on Availabe lighting. I have two wonderful little models and am trying to beef up my people photography. I see a little improvement but not enough to excite me just yet. I want it to become second nature to me. Just to fyi ya, I have been off work since Dec. 20th due to a severe back problem. Not a work related injury just an injury that is keeping from doing my job, arrgh. I am still doing the legal stuff at home, but I have a spinal cord injury, and until they figure out exactly what is causing it and get it fixed I am officially done with any outside work. Bummer! Oh, well, I am trying not to feel too sorry for myself and I can still take pics and walk around so all is not a total disaster, lol! Take care and I will keep you and your lovely family in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings and hope you have a good week :)
2/10/2011 3:22:15 AM - 002020640084
I just left a comment and it disappeared. Sigh....! My internet is acting up! I came by to thank you again for that beautiful surprise. It made my week! You are such a sweetheart!

We just got back from Dave and Busters and had so much fun! I have been trying to add stuff to my sharesite all week with no luck. I just got 4 photos up and was hoping to add more but its taking sooo long. :(

I am so out of touch and behind on checking out the sites and the gallery! I'm hoping to catch up this week!

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Take care! XOXO
2/8/2011 3:31:23 PM - 002025703401
Who's NOT ready for Spring? Hang in there Debbie! Hope your parents are better soon. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
2/7/2011 6:20:02 AM - 003060775554
Thank you so much Debbie,I am glad to hear nice things about my very first photobook . My mother loved it very much and I made another 2 book for my mother in law and my sister in law . I knew about Shutterfly and photo books just couple of month ago .It is fun to do.I've poured my love and emotion on the books,I know they'll feel it . Your flower's photos are so amazing!! Seems like the petals can be touched .I gotta learn something form you .I love your work ,though I haven't finished watching all of them  yet( my eyes are glued on the flowers).Thanks again for your nice comments ,I am inspired.
2/6/2011 5:46:08 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, thanks for coming by and may I say take one day at a time and hope you will be in good spirits and your family will be feeling better very soon. Blessings to you and I hope the good weather brights us up. Take care and be well.
2/4/2011 6:25:54 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! It was so good to hear from you. Bless your heart, you have had a rough, rough time of it lately. It has got to be very difficult caring for both of your parents with them both in ill health. I will continue to pray for you and the whole family. You are such a wonderful daughter to be there for them like that - hang in there and try to take care of yourself too!

It sounds like both Alan and Chopper have been missing you terribly. Maybe Chopper could handle the housecleaning a bit better than Alan (hahaha.)

I can't wait to see your sunset book - I love, love, love beautiful sunsets too and I'm sure it will be amazing.

It has been cold here and we just had a snow storm this week. We only got about 3-4" inches though, but it was blowing and drifting and freezing cold so that was more of the issue.

I went to see Kid Rock Tuesday night. I'm not the hugest fan, in general, but he puts on an amazing show, so we had a good time.

My daughter, Jordan, ran into the garage door the other day so we had to have a new garage door installed. Teenagers! Arrrghhh.

I am trying to work on my Christmas photobook, but I can't seem to find the time to get back to it. Maybe this weekend.

Take care of yourself and I'm thinking about you! Thanks so much for stopping by the the comments on my latest pictures. xxxxo
2/1/2011 1:17:57 PM - 000070574167
I just read your profile info - you said what I had been searching for " a tourist in your hometown" - that's just what it is, isn't it. You see so much more through the eyes of your camera. I am fascinated with macro, too. and love all your work. So many fabulous idea - from color, to angles, to subjects. Thanks for including me.
2/1/2011 3:08:36 AM - 000070574167
Oh my gosh, I opened this page and it just took my breath away! I've already marked this page so I can come back quickly - there looks like so much I'd like to see. What a talent you have for composure and color. Just made a quick peek through and your books are fantastic - loved the black&white photos - so many ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing with me.
1/31/2011 11:26:43 PM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
I know you are meeting yourself coming and going with your parents, but don't forget to occasionally slow down and take a few monuments for Debbie. Take a deep breath.... then back into the action! Take care!!!
1/31/2011 5:18:54 AM - 001073450306
Hi Debbie, thank you for your kind words on my photo book, the ice storm. I am new to the gallery and I have been looking at everyones beautiful pictures. When I saw your photos of these flowers I was in complete awe......They are stunning. Thanks for sharing.
1/30/2011 3:04:10 AM - 001062713509

Barbara Jean, Don't worry about it, I know all you have been going through, and did not expect you to drop by my site! Love Deb xoxox
1/22/2011 9:29:36 PM - 002065887734
These photos are so gorgeous I could just get lost deep into their lovely petals. I love these photos! They are just amazing! Checked out some Christmas and some Snow Day. (My term). It is looking as lovely here as ever. It's been a while since I've stopped by. I am sorry. With love, BJ
1/20/2011 8:05:37 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I hope you were able to get out and take photos this week! Did it snow in your area? I know you were hoping for snow. Take care! Talk to you soon! :)
1/18/2011 7:49:15 PM - 000085599530
Oh Debbie...thanks so much for the love on Alyssa's guitar album. I am shocked how well the photos came out. I was running in and out of the garage trying to keep the whole thing a secret before Christmas. The photos came out so warm. I am just about finished with the Shutterfly photo book. Just have to come up with a cover and take a picture of the label he made for inside the guitar. You re the best for taking the time to check it all out.
1/17/2011 8:23:47 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie....just saw that your Dad is back at the hospital...,!! :0((((( I'm so sorry!! I know that with getting your Mom back on her feet you were breathing a sigh of relief that they would be ok for awhile! Hang in there girl!! Do you have any siblings?
Oh...and thanks so much for the invite for the Overcast shoot!! hahaha!!....I think something might be coming my way on Wednesday...so I'll try shooting then! :0)
Take care!

Deb, I don't know where the two notes I sent off went hope this works. I wanted to thank you so much for looking at my site. It felt like Christmas! It is nice to know there are other people out there that enjoy what you enjoy. You are truly an amazing photographer. I want to spend time going through all your albums. I just love to get outside and find the simplest things to capture . Your area is also a favorite place I always wanted to visit. I will start an album on my family soon here as my Dad just turned 90 yesterday and Mom is 86. I have been married 38 years and we have one precious grandson who will be four this month. Right now is playing hide and seek with Pappy so must go get ready for church. Your photo friend Maria Ps I really really enjoyed getting comments on pictures and value the comments...be free to offer advice
I can't wait to not work and have more free time to be OUTSIDE.

12/26/2010 10:38:25 PM - 001024320926
Love the headers and the light show!! Thanks awesome!! I had the week off and didn't get anything done! I thought for sure I'd be online and making books I'm behind on, nooo such luck.
I am praying that things are better with your parents, I think of you often and pray that the new year brings better health for your parents and wonderful things for you!
12/25/2010 6:18:24 AM - 002035648808
Merry Christmas Debbie. I hope things are settling down for you, my dear friend. You have been through such a rough patch lately. Taking care of two aging parents is very tough, but you handle with such grace my friend. Thank goodness they have you there for them. What a blessing and comfort that you must be for them. I am so glad your dad is on the mend and I hope the best for your momma. Have a wonderful time with that precious grandson and your lovely husband. It was such an honor getting to know and meet you this past year and fall. I am looking forward to staying in touch for a life-time. Blessings Goob Sista :)
12/24/2010 3:40:29 PM - 002020640084
Merry Christmas! I hope and pray you and your family are all together this Christmas. I'm sorry its been such a rough December for you and your family. Hoping everyone is well enough to be together and enjoy each others company! I know you are so excited to see Ethan open all his gifts! I can't wait to see the photos! XOXOX
12/24/2010 2:41:57 PM - 002081530895

12/24/2010 1:28:08 AM - 001062713509
The mountain pic above is fantastic! I love it. I have a little while to myself at home so I thought I would drop by & wish you & your family the Merriest of Christmas' ever. I wish you all the blessings and all the happiness that life has to offer. I am so thankful that we have become friends, even if it is a virtual friendship. I pray that every one in your family is recovering nicely. Merry CHRISTmas & Happy New Year!

I do know what that's like to be the "caregiver" of your parents when they are ill. It is a labor of love! I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Healthy New Year for you & your family!
12/22/2010 10:15:31 PM - 000074469281
Hi Debbie, I too hope that things are better with your family. Wishing you and yours a VERY merrry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2011

Hey Debbie!
Hope everyone in your family is doing better now. How is the weather? Are you guys getting as much rain as California?
If I don't get by again this week.... from my family to yours......

MERRY CHRISTMAS  :)

Hi Debbie,
Thanks for coming by and looking at the Cookie Pictures. I had a lot of fun baking them, and Rob had fun eating them!
I hope you and your family has a wonderful Christmas! I am glad to hear that your dad is home!! That is definatly a Merry Christmas all in itself.
Take care!
12/22/2010 3:31:59 AM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! I jsut read that your Dad came home today...I'm so glad! And so glad that you are home too! It's so hard to see when our parents are aging. This Christmas Eve we are taking a light supper over to my Father-in-laws home. He doesn't drive any more and his wife is so great about taking care of him. He's really slowed down in the last few months and so this means a lot to Steve for us to go over...so we will! :0) Kay and Rob and Steve's sister, her husband. I know it will mean a lot to Steve's Dad...and will be a blessing to us too! That's Christmas...getting together with family! And your Grandson is coming to see you too! :0) It will be late Christmas Day before Hannah gets here....I will be counting the hours! I can't wait for everyone to get here! I think it's raining again right now...but no snow!
Glad you got a chuckle out of my cookie pictures...I had a lot of fun doing them! :0)
If I don't get back over here... Merry Christmas to you and your family...!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
{{hugs}}

Debbie, somehow I missed your flower album for the most part. It is gorgeous. I am renting a car tomorrow. It is an extravegence, but I haven't had a car to take David around and do things with him in more than 2 years. I am at my wits end. Anyway, they are now calling for sleet, snow, horrible driving conditions. We are STILL going to have a ball and I will just drive to places close to here. He is having a sleep over in my new place and then we are going for more fun on the 22nd! I see the surgeon on the 23rd and hope he has something figured out for me by then. I hope your dad gets out tomorrow/today and can get some good rest. You have your hands full right about now. Love to you, Barb
12/20/2010 8:41:38 PM - 002020640084
The xmas light photos are gorgeous! WOW! I love them! I will try to catch up real soon! :)
12/20/2010 8:40:41 PM - 002020640084
By the way, thanks for the holiday wishes!

Marina and I had a dream come true mother/daughter cruise and trip. Everything was perfect!

I can't wait to upload all the travel photos, storm photos, & the few xmas prepration ones!

Take care! Thinking of you! XOXOXO
12/20/2010 8:38:07 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I'm sorry to hear your dad has pneimonia(sp?)! I will keep you, your mom, your dad, & your brother in my prayers. I can't believe all of these health problems that has hit your family in the past 6 weeks! You must be so stressed, worried, & so tired of the hospital. I'm thinking of you and hoping everyone recovers quickly.

We just got back last night and I have so much to do for the holidays. I was trying to do some of my xmas cards. I did a few different designs. I played around with some old favorites of Marina and Mason and I love the way this one design came out. I was scared to order too many because they were scanned photos but they came out awesome. Those I only ordered 5 of and wish I ordered more. Anyways, I sent you my favorite one! :)
12/18/2010 2:15:03 AM - 000040317923

I hope you are all getting some rest after yesterday. Hope Mom and Pop are doing well. :)

What a neat, neat Christmas mini-trip you got to take with your mom. I loved your description and then those photos are fantastic! That is a spectacular page. I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful lights.

I love to walk on new snow...and hear it crunch!

I know you'll have a case of 'withdrawls' from not getting your email...or websites!! I have them too!! haha!
I love that you had so much color still around when this snow fell..........it really makes the pictures lovely!!
12/2/2010 3:31:38 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks for the Christmas card! I loved it! I just sent you 1 unfinished email by accident then sent the rest just now.
Are you getting alot of snow in your area? I can't believe people got stranded here on the thruway for 12 hours here because we got bombarded with 2 ft of snow. We went out to eat at one of our favorite restaurants that is like a 30 min drive its in South Buffalo. We traveled through the storm(Marina drove 1/2 way but and did so good in the storm but I don't have my snow tires on yet so Rob took over), then we ate, & after dinner we ran into a Christmas store on the way home but it was closing in a few minutes. I wanted to try and take some photos w/ my new camera. It was thundering and lighting during the snowstorm so the ladies were scared that the lights would go out so we left. I took about 15 quick photos. LOL! Then we were suppose to go to the movies but the kids said that we better not. I'm glad because I wouldn't want to be stuck on the thruway for 12 hours! What a nightmare!

Marina got a snow day today! She's so happy!
12/2/2010 1:59:56 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie! Thanks for the first Christmas card of the season! I love it and it's already posed on my Christmas Magic page.
Glad that you are joining the fun on the Shooting Goobs site, I think it will loads of fun to learn together!!! Inspire too.
I hope that the Thanksgiving holiday was good to you. I was sick the entire holiday weekend, missed out on all the fun! I am feeling better and trying to make up for it now :) I love, love Christmas, it's such a visual time of year!!!
Love all that snow! It's cold here but no snow! I love winter, I just feel better when it's cold outside ;)
12/1/2010 3:25:07 PM - 002020640084
Thanks so much for stopping by my site and leaving all the wonderful comments. I'm glad you liked the Losson Park album.

Its been a really stressful week. We spent Sat. at the animal hospital with Bella. She was bleeding internally and super sick with vomiting up tarry like vomit with it looked like coffee grounds. It was everywhere and she had diarrea. I was so scared and I looked online and it said it was blood and to get to the hospital. Its upper GI bleeding what we think is due to tearing from gettting into garbage. She has been rebelling since Rob moved away in August and has been getting in the garbage so we thought it was a blockage but none showed on the x-ray. They think its a tear, or a bleeding ulcer, pancratitis, or something else. They gave her anti vomiting meds then gave her fluids. Now she is being treated with meds at home that I have to administer 7 times a day and then feed her chicken and rice 4 times a day! She is improving thank God. If it was a blockage it would cost $3500 plus the $500 hospital visit. To make matters worse she ran off in the dark when Marina took her 2 nights ago. We searched for her all night and thought she either got run over or that she was running away to die. It was so scary. Then at 7am we gave up hope and opened the door and she ran in!

I did get my Nikon D90 last week and haven't even had a chance to take it out of the box because of all this chaos!

Sorry you didn't get to have Thanksgiving on Thursday because of the storm. Its so nice you all got to have it on Friday though! Hope it was wonderful! :)

Rob is home visiting! :)

12/1/2010 12:53:24 PM - 002065887734
Debbie, I am in the middle of the move. My computer is going any minute now and my new phone will not be hooked up until December 4th. I will not be able to use the computer, so this is bye for a few days. Just wanted you to know. Love, Barb
12/1/2010 2:40:06 AM - 002025703401

Well, after viewing a few of your books I wanted to visit your page. Whatever your day job is you should quit and become a full time photographer. Your photos and creativity are really quite remarkable. It's a pleasure!
~~Laura

Love the foliage and snow photos Debbie! Is it early to have snow already?
11/24/2010 2:19:26 AM - 002028306420
Hi Debbie. You looked at our Antelope Slot Canyon shots and said to leave a comment for someone in return, that it's nice to hear people's comments. So....here it is: Your pictures are OUTTA SIGHT! I love the blue tinge look, the contrast, the saturated colors. You are a pro, and if not, should be. I'd love to do something like this. Maybe someday. Thanks for the beauty, inspiration and joy. We will be back! Jennifer & Bob
11/22/2010 3:05:18 AM - 001009806026
Great photos you must spend most of your time looking and absorbing your surroundings to be so sensitive to the changing moods of nature and your surroundings. I love your sunset photos, beautiful!
Thanks for your kind comment on my first album and by the way I agree with your comment on George 1 travel book - I have only been to Seattle twice but that does not look like the space needle I remember.
Happy Thanksgiving
Dick & Anna
11/22/2010 2:27:46 AM - 001036406489
I love these fall photos!!! Happy early Thanksgiving to you and your family. Ooh, you survived the wind storm - phew! Here in CA - weather is crazy. It poured yesterday and got so cold that some of our mtns got snow. Today - it was sunny & cold - luv this weather. The sunsets are amazing. Will you be cooking? I will not be hosting at my house, but I will make a side dish - I am a veggie (do eat fish though) so I always make something veggie to take to my sister's house. They eat turkey & ham - I don't. Maybe I will make a tofurkey. Can't wait to see your holiday pics! Blessings!
11/21/2010 10:16:38 PM - 000076738705
I love the new header! How are you Deb? Ooo, I am watching the Seattle Japane photobook as I right this and feel better doing that; thanks ! Always thinking of you
11/21/2010 10:06:28 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks so much for stopping by my site and checking out all the old family photos. Hope you have the best Thanksgiving ever despite all the recent bad news.

Rob has to work and won't be home for Thanksgiving this year. I am really not looking forward to Thanksgiving with our family split 500 miles apart but I will try to make the best of it. The kids are excited for BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING so I will focus on that.

Marina and I are just heading out to go to dinner and to the movies! I'm so excited! :)

I will talk to you real soon by phone or email. I read your email and will try to respond tonight! I'm glad you had something fun to do to distract you. Shopping is a huge stress reliever! LOL! Have a peaceful evening! :)
11/21/2010 7:16:15 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, love the header on your home page, just beautiful. I did want to stop by before things get busy with the holidays creeping up. HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Enjoy and have fun. I do hope all is well and I enjoyed your California trip pics. Thanks for sharing.
11/20/2010 3:24:33 AM - 002034447600
Thankyou ! I never thought anyone would notice and look through my first gallery share. I didn't put a photo on the cover( was in hurry to get it up). I so appreciate your input on my nature book. I am always looking for the "photograph" I am going to look at your books now!
11/18/2010 9:58:20 PM - 001062713509
I can't tell you what this means to me that you took all these barn pics for me. You simply rock!
11/17/2010 10:03:46 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie! How are ya today? and your Mom? Thanks for coming by!! Yep...we'll have another little one around for a new page...which means I'll have to decide when travel page to bring down!! haha!...I have some really old ones up there!- You were in our camping page a week or so ago!! See how long ago I made that page! ha!
I know that Thanksgiving will mean much to your family with the thoughts of your Mom's medical concerns from just a couple of weeks ago!
It seems like so long ago that we were all together! I miss everyone too.....:0( Could you imagine all of the writers cramps in our hands if were tried to write to everyone by paper, pen and a stamp! haha!
We are having a lot at my little house on Thanksgiving...we'll have to all squeeeeeeze in...but that's ok...it's just makes it more cozy! Have a great weekend Deb!! :0)

Hey Debbie - I just typed out a long comment to you and then lost it..i HATE when that happens!!!! Oh well, the jest of it was that I was thinking about you (and your Mom) and thought I would stop by to spread a little love. Everytime I open up your site and see those gorgeous headers they take my breath away. Few people "do nature" like my Roomie!
Keeping you and the family in my prayers. Miss you! Hugs!
11/17/2010 2:20:08 AM - 000031826072

Hello Debbie, many thanks for your kind coments. The book in question was a first for me so I found using the 7X11 acttually worked the best. As for the templates, I just used the black background on all the pages and a white border. The templates are to the left side of building the books. I LOVE your work and from your page here think I may do the same. Again beautiful images here....thank you for posting and commenting.

Take a look here, and the waterfall on the right of the page is in Tenn. My home town, and my grandfather eight times back used to own 86,000 acres and this is now part of Fall Creek Falls, State Park in TN. I have a 91 yr old aunt who still lives up in those mountains and has a waterfall in her back yard. But ya can't go there, or will get ones' rump full of buckshot. Seriously. Only kin are allowed.
I should post some pics from there though.
And her fence is purple morning glories and when you look over you see the beautiful Sequatchie Valley and trees, falls and ponds.
Beyond Beautiful.
11/12/2010 12:01:48 AM - 001024320926
Loooove that river shot Debbie, it's beautiful!! I came by to say Woohoo! on the good news for your mom. Very happy to hear it!!
Love all the new pictures. I have been slammed at work lately! Hoping to get around a little better :)
11/11/2010 8:17:54 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
It was so good chatting with you yesterday! You are such a sweetheart! I am sending positive thoughs and wishes your way for good news today. I got your email that came while we were talking on the phone and will try to repond tonight. Take care! XOXO
11/10/2010 5:08:05 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I was running around all day and stopped back to say I'm thinking of you. I hope and pray you get good news. Please give me a call if you get a chance. I have tons of stuff going on tomorrow and appointments so I will be in and out all day. I will try to give you a call in between. I hope you got my emails and messages on SF GURU CENTRAL. Talk to you soon! XOXO
11/9/2010 9:02:38 PM - 000076738705
Hey Deb, had to stop by again; I LOVE that big waterfall shot. Did you video it too; I'd love to hear it. ok, your Japanes garden book is outstanding, wide angle shots are a treat. So glad to hear from you and get some comments. If you are ever in Southern Cal lets get together. Will check back :)
11/9/2010 8:09:40 PM - 002065887734
Oh, I forgot. I did want to thank you so much for stopping by and looking around my site. It is always nice to have a visit from you. I appreciate it so much! Barb
11/9/2010 8:08:27 PM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. I came back again to peak at these wonderful photos. I am still in awe of that waterfall in California. I am so glad the locals told you about it. It looks like the highlight of that day. Isn't it nice to get surprises like that! Your fall page is so gorgeous. I was there once, but I don't know if you had a comment section or if I was just tired. I did think my comments from the Fall Share Page transfered to you or I would have come immediately here to comment and thank you for adding them to the Share Page. Your photos are always outstanding. I continue to be amazed at your photography! When I think "this is as good as it can be" you come up with something better. As I continue to say, You have an artists eye. You see things to capture that many of us don't even notice.

Your Japanese Garden book is outrageously beautiful! I commented in the Gallery. Some of those pages are beyond belief. I got chills at the 2 page spread of the Cherry tree. I wouldn't even think to make a layout like that with "just one tree". That's what I mean by you having an artists' eye! You chose that and boy does it pack a punch! Your book is spectacular from the beginning spread of the walkway inviting us in to the last page. It is just perfect!
11/9/2010 4:48:07 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie! I think I took off for Colorado just before you shared your news....I'm sure sorry!!

It was a fast trip up and back...but I always like hanging out with my family! We will make that trip again in 2 weeks! Then that's it for most of the rest of the holidays!
You've been busy out shooting the fall colors...they are wonderful!
Your books are also - excellent! :0)
Catch ya later!
11/9/2010 3:21:36 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! I was thinking about you all weekend and this week. I hope you got the email I sent on Sat. I am heading out but will check out your site for a bit! Talk to you soon! :)
11/9/2010 2:50:05 AM - 001036406489
Darn! My comp is running too slow right now - so couldn't finish viewing your Japanese Garden book.
11/8/2010 10:30:38 PM - 002086548916
Hey Debbie, your Wells Fargo book is neat. I am glad you were able to talk with the pilot and learn more about ballooning. So glad you were able to come and join us for the weekend!
11/8/2010 4:05:59 AM - 001036406489
Debbie, you were in CA - wow. What did you think? I can't wait to see all your photos. Hope you had a great time! (I am sure you did) - thanks for stopping by my site. It's been a while - sorry. I have been so busy. But here I am - enjoying your pics. Thank you!!!
11/7/2010 6:25:35 PM - 002035648808
Wooohooooo Debbie..the pics above are spectacular. Where in the world is the waterfall....I would die to be able to travle here someday and see all these things. Just on that subject, my sister is getting married on Dec. 8 in Vegas to a guy from Seattle Washington. They are going to live in MO until my nephew, who is a Junior in Highschool graduates and then move out there. Guess what that means....we get to meet up again, wooohooooo and you will have to take me to all these fabulous locations, lol! Thanks so much for always stopping by and looking at my pics. I am afraid that I have been horrible at getting to everyone's sites....all I have time for is work, taking pics at everyone's request, which of course I don't mind, lol, even though humans aren't my favorite picture subjects, too much editing involved, lol! Oh, Larry and I are going to Vegas to guess what, take pics, lol! I am excited. I hear that it has lots of photo ops. Can't wait. We are flying out on the 7th -10th of Dec. Fun times. Well, I am going to go drool over your pictures ;) Catch ya later Goober/Guru Sister!
11/7/2010 4:49:29 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I love all the fall photos you added and I got a chance to finish looking through all of them! It was such a treat to view! That place reminds me of a place in NY that is our favorite place. How close is it to your house? Rob and I were finally able to go to our favorite place yesterday and got a few shots. I will have to upload them today and post them. Have a peaceful day! Talk to you soon! :)
11/5/2010 3:19:11 PM - 001023411097
Debbie, you make me want to live in your part of the world. I enjoy your photography and now that we have met, it even means more. I need a copy of our pic together!!! bj

Debbie,
Rob is coming home in 2 hours! He will be home for 4 days and 4 nights! I'm so excited! :)

Thanks so much for checking out my Bermuda page! I really have to get started on that cruise photobook! I wish I had more time today since the big sale ends today! I didn't finish my 2008 cruise photobook yet. If Rob takes a nap then I will work on it and try to finish! Rob worked a 12 hr shift until 7AM & went straight to the airport. The airports are over 1 hr away! Then he ate breakfast and then waited for his flight! He will be exhausted so I think he will nap at some point or go to bed early. If so, I maybe able sqeeze in an hour and try to just finish it off to get the sale price with the 12x12 being 30% off and then I have an extra 20% off! Then the free shipping! Its such an incredible deal!

I sent you a reply the other night! Thinking of you!

Have a good day! :)

Dear Debbie...thanks for taking the time to check out some of my latest pictures. :) the photos on this page are breath taking!

The river in Oregon headers are magnificent! I love them! Thanks for stoping by my site and for giving me a call. I will have to try to call you this week! Any Halloween plans? Will you get to see Ethan? What is he going to be for Halloween? I am in shock that it Halloween already! Can't believe its November 1st tomorrow! That means Christmas is coming really fast! Did you see the 7x9 photobooks are 50% off this week! I want to make some Christmas gifts before the sale ends! I made a bunch of Shutterfly Christmas gifts about 2 weeks ago and they came in. They have so many new products and designs! I have made at least 20 mugs before and before you could only use 1 photo now you can use a bunch and same with the mousepads! I love them!

Anyways, I just wanted to stop by to say hi! Thanks again for all the prayers for Parker and wonderful comments on the photos I posted on SF Guru Central! Your such a sweetheart!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Yes
10/26/2010 3:25:51 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie!! I've finally found a little time this morning to hit some sites!! What's new with you this week?
It was sooo windy here yesterday and more for today and then it should start to warm up again for normal temps!
I'm glad you liked the Aspen pics...it was a wonderful afternoon and we had such a nice walk! The Trees that line the river are changing right now and the cottonwoods are really turning gold!
Ok, I need to look around and check on some pages....then back to work...there are things for me to do today! :0)
Catch ya later....have a great day!!
10/25/2010 11:11:16 PM - 000031826072
Hey Roomie! I miss ya! Thanks for stopping by to say hello and so sorry it took me so long to stop back by...never enough hours in the day! Those waterfall pictures are truly breathtaking art! Wow! You are amazing with that camera! So, what's the weather like there this week? We're still way above normal for this time of year in Kansas. In the 80's! Your Wells Fargo book was the bomb! What a perfect description of every detail of the story! Bravo! Have a grat week! xxxxoo
10/25/2010 1:16:16 PM - 000040317923
Debbie, your pictures are so beautiful - these waterfall pictures are pure artwork. I take it you had your polarizer on? You do amazing things with that tool!
10/24/2010 7:40:05 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks again for all the sweet comments on Parkers albums I posted on SF GURU CENTRAL! I really appreciate it! :)
10/24/2010 7:35:20 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
WOW! You have been busy! I love all the new pages on your site! You are so talented!

Thanks so much for checking out Rob's page on my site! I really appreciated all your thoughtful comments!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Do you have any plans for Halloween? I can't believe this month is flying by!
10/24/2010 2:01:30 PM - 003041628909
Dear Debbie - you have amazing photography on this site! Thank you for viewing my Lion Pride of the Serengeti photo book and your lovely comments. I hope to have a website that is as amazing as yours someday.

Cheers!

Just saw your Wells Fargo Balloon Book. I enjoyed looking at it and seeing all the different things that have to be done for these balloons to fly. I see them up in the air and think "Oh, cool!" and NEVER think about what it takes to care for them or keep them up in the air...and then this one has a gorgeous painted motor home to drive it around! LOL. The book details everything and your shots are interesting and colorful. You make this book bright and delightful. Very nice job!

p.s. I wanted to thank you for adding the second album to The Shutterfly Fall Share Page. It looks really great! Somehow I lost about 2/3 of the comments on my What's New Page, so if you are one who lost comments I am sorry. They were there (with my comments) originally. Thanks for adding! :)
10/23/2010 8:56:35 PM - 000076738705
Hi Deb, where in CA was the water fall shot taken, must go find it. I bet its not southern cal! Great shot. Thanks for the kind message of Littles passing. Your shots get better and better :)
10/22/2010 7:33:43 PM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. Just stopped by to wish you a nice weekend. Hope you are fine.

This page is breathtaking. I have never seen a waterfall like this. EVER!!! What a spectacular sight that would be. You captured it so beautifully!!! I can't stay right now, but I am so glad I came by to say "hello". I would have missed these wonderful photographs! :)
10/20/2010 2:37:26 AM - 000076820331
Debbie,

I love your balloon pictures! So brilliant! It's fun to see everyone's version of the "same" picture!
10/18/2010 6:48:05 PM - 001076975951
Happy Monday Debbie, Thanks for coming by to say HI!. Love the home page header. IT IS FABULOUS!!! Glad to hear that you have been a busy bee. I like that. Getaways, birthdays, anniversary and fun times. You go girl!!! Love all the latest pictures you have posted. I do hope you are well and enjoying the autumn season. I'll stop by again later in the week. For now take care and enjoy.
10/18/2010 6:05:43 PM - 001062713509
Hello to you from me ~ we are back in Germany. I am ready to go home! I see you have been on some trips yourself and I can't wait to see what you do with the pics you have taken from them.
10/18/2010 4:28:05 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! I found your Wells Fargo Book!
Great job!
Hope you had a good weekend! We went back up to the Jemez...but about 20mi farther up into the mountains where the Aspen were turning gold! - Beautiful! I'm ready to get cracking on getting some fall pictures up!
Take care!
10/17/2010 12:10:58 PM - 001017544077
Debbie... WOW! Your photos are wonderful!! So full of color and richness. I know it was an awesome GURU trip to say the least. Love it!
10/15/2010 4:29:16 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Hi! I love your balloon page! You should enter a bunch in contests! Your photos are always such an inspiration! You are so talented!
I bet Alan and Ethan loved seeing your balloon page!
Any plans for the weekend?
10/15/2010 3:08:50 AM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! I am wishing you a late Happy Anniversary....sorry!!!! But I do hope your Honey and you did something really special!!
They only come ...once a year...Anniversaries that is! haha!!
What did you have Hunter out looking at this week?
10/14/2010 7:26:04 PM - 003007683511
Awesome Pics of the balloons & crater lake too, Looks like you had a good time in New Mexico!! .. You know I always love your work.
10/12/2010 4:18:37 PM - 001062713509
yes, from my trip! i am sitting on the rooftop lounge looking out over Sorrento Italy & looking at your pages.
10/12/2010 3:39:26 PM - 001062713509
I have to agree with Car, you are a genius at taking photos! You always inspire me and make me quite envious ~ i want to be able to take pictures like you do! Miss chatting with you. Hope you are doing well!
10/11/2010 11:14:56 AM - 002095413226
Your pictures are fantastic as usual!!!
10/11/2010 7:52:42 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, I have been on your Balloon Page for the last 2 hours. I am beginning to not see straight and am hitting the wrong keys. This page is so great I had to get through the whole thing before I stopped. I was afraid I would miss something if I came back. IT IS WONDERUFL!!! I love the nature photos as much as the balloons and the balloons were unbelievable. Wow! What a page. You did a perfect job putting it all together for us to see and enjoy your weekend along with all the Shutterfly gals. THANK YOU!!! What a great time you had cementing old friendships and creating new ones! GREAT, GREAT PAGE! Thank you.
10/11/2010 6:06:24 AM - 002065887734
WOW! Those red rock cliffs actually vie for the attention of those gorgeous balloons! Beautiful, beautiful photos in your header! I am guessing I will see some on your Balloon Page when I go check it out. I love the photos on this page and love the Crater Lake page also. Your shots are amazing and there is beauty everywhere I look. Thanks for the lovely shots and the inspiration!
10/10/2010 2:06:12 AM - 002066991916
Oh my gooodness! Your crater lake is so majesty. You truly touch the beauty of nature. It is so stunning ang way beyond awesome.

The balloon photos on this page are truly wonderful and they are truly beautiful. But one that I do like most is second to the left. That is absolutely incredible shot. You are a genious taking photos. Thank you for sharing!
10/10/2010 12:38:17 AM - 000040317923

I have been meaning to tell you Marina's big 16th bday surprise! I can't believe Rob and I kept it a secret this long and didn't spill the beans. Marina and I are going on a bday celebration cruise in December for her 16th bday. When Joe turned 16 we went on a cruise to celebrate his bday. Then awhile ago we bought gift certificates so that we could celebrate Marina's 16th bday on a cruise as well together. I was hoping the whole family could go together since they had huge deals in December for cruises on Norwegian but Joe and Rob won't be able to go. I wanted to take advantage of the huge deal! I discussed it with Rob and he told me to take Marina on a Mom/daughter cruise then him and Joe will go on a dad/son cruise in Jan or May! It depends on whenever Rob could get off when Joe is off. I guess Rob gets to pick his 2011 vacations in November but since he is low senority at this plant(they didn't do his 14 years they go by start date and who is older at start date) so we aren't sure when he could get off in 2011. Anyways, Joe loves the idea and so did Marina. I'm so excited! I think its only 8 weeks away! The cruise is an Eastern Caribbean cruise that leaves Dec. 12-Dec. 19. It will be so much fun! :)
10/9/2010 4:11:59 AM - 001023411097
Debbie just wanted to tell you I enjoy our weekend and you are a sweet and beautiful lady! I have not been on the computer. I am working with the civic association this <week for our meeting and Mom is having lung problems from the ragweek. Hugs bj
10/8/2010 8:37:19 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I got your colorful NM postcard you sent me in the mail! I love it so much! Thanks so much for thinking of me! Your such a sweetheart! XOXO
10/8/2010 6:06:12 PM - 002020640084

Happy Anniversary to you and Alan! I hope your day was extra special!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving so many flattering comments. A lot of the albums where from last year and my very 1st attempts to take nature shots! I didn't have a clue what I was doing at the time! LOL!

I'm so happy to hear you had tons of fun in NM! I can't wait to see the photos! Yes  
Anyways, we had so much fun while Rob was home for the 1st time! I will tell you all about it another day I have so much to do today. The visit went by so fast and we were all sad to see Rob go. When Rob got back to his apartment alone in Indianna he couldn't sleep all night because he missed us so much! It broke my heart! When Rob was here at home in NY and surrounded by all our love and attention then he had to go back to an empty apartment 500 miles away from his family! Its really difficult.
Anyways, just stopped by to say hi! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)

10/8/2010 4:19:09 AM - 002065887734
Welcome Home, Debbie! Bet you are tired and bet you are still so excited you are floating! I know you had a great time!!! I don't know how Alan and Chopper did...hmmm. Maybe a few extra doggie treats every now and then???? So glad you got to go and so glad you are home safely. See you soon, Barbara Jean
10/7/2010 7:58:17 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie...wow...between Balloon and Soccer pictures...I bet you have a lot to work on! :0) Special Shapes were up this morning...but it was a little breezy...so some didn't come out. We'll be down there tomorrow...we'll see how many go up! :0)
It's been a pretty good even so far....only 3 things haven't gone off yet - but we're coming up to our last weekend! :0)
I so enjoyed getting to know you better on this trip! Looking at the pictures really make me smile, such a great time with wonderful gals...like you! :0) It is funny to hear each others voices now when we read what each other writes! LOL!!
10/7/2010 6:40:12 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! Welcome back and Happy Anniversary! It was so great getting to meet you and you were a fabulous roomie and car mate. I am so glad you decided to join us! I already felt like I "new you" but now I REALLY know you! So much fun. It was a blast to hang out with such a fun group and get to meet so many wonderful people (including YOU!) I can't wait to see all your pictures! Glad the dog and hubby were both waiting on you and glad to see you! xxxxo
10/5/2010 4:41:02 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! So how was it - NOT - having to wake up way before the sun came up!? haha!! I know that the Fiesta really throws people off of their regular sleeping schedule...but for just a few days a year, it's worth it! LOL!!
Have a terrifc day...!!
10/4/2010 6:22:47 PM - 002020640084
I just wanted to come by real quick while Rob's running an errand to say thanks for the beautiful card you created and sent me! That was so thoughtful and sweet! It meant so much and I really appreciate it! Hope you had a tons of fun on your trip to NM! I bet your honey missed you dearly! I will talk to you soon! Can't wait to hear all about your trip and I'm so excited to see the photos! :)
10/4/2010 5:09:18 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. This page is still miraculous. Just beautiful. Hope you are having a great time in NM and am sure you are. Bet you will have some fantastic photos and some wonderful memories!
10/3/2010 6:06:48 PM - 000076738705
crater lake, Smooth elegant water in the background and crisp evergreen trees in the forground , perfect!
10/3/2010 2:52:32 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, love the crater lake set of photos. breathtaking. Hope you had a great weekend in NM with the gurus and goobers. looking forward to your pictures.
9/30/2010 4:02:27 PM - 002029331419
Debbie........see ya tomorrow!!
Any Questions??
How far are you from the airport? Sunday after the mass lift off....there is going to be an old Antique/Hot Rod Show!!...They all come pulling up on the grassy field!! They did it last year and it was really great!! Just wanted you to know! :0)
9/29/2010 3:52:02 AM - 001023411097
I love Crater Lake. I think it is one of the most beautiful places on this earth! Love your picture. All my photos of crater were taken before we had digital. We will meet soon. I start packing tomorrow. We will have so much fun. bj
9/28/2010 10:24:13 PM - 000074469281
GORGEOUS photo of Crater lake. Love that. I'm supposed to be working on a book for a friend, he rode his cycle in this area but his photos aren't like this.
See YOU real soon. THREE days! YAY!!
I'm finally here, but have so much packing to do, it's going to be fun and jam packed!
9/28/2010 9:32:31 PM - 002020640084

I agree the Crater Lake photos are magnificent! :)
Thanks again for our talk last week! It was so nice to vent! Its a good thing you caught me before I lost my voice completely! I now have a whisper that can be recognized! Thank god! I have been trying to rest the past few days when I can so this doesn't progress anymore!

 

I went and got my haircut and dyed! It felt so good to get that done at least! Marina kept her hair the same color for the 1st time! She loves to get her hair dyed all the time. She wanted it darker than it is now! I don't like it when its super dark! Marina said she is keeping it this color for me! Isn't that sweet?!!

Anyways, I know you are busy getting ready for your 1st solo trip! I'm so excited for you! I hope and pray you have a safe trip! Talk to you when you get back to hear all about your adventure!

I'm looking forward to Rob coming home for the 1st time in Oct. He is going to be here before I know it! Hopefully everyone will be healthy by then! :)

9/27/2010 11:53:26 PM - 001024320926
Crater lake, that picture is beyond beautiful!! Came by to say 4 dayssssssssss!!
9/27/2010 4:48:14 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie....look at your cool vacation photos! :0) Wow!! It's beautiful!!
Just popping in to say hi.l..and we are all in countdown mode..if you couldn't tell by now!
Hope your ready!
Did you know we are taking the Tram up to the top of the crest this weekend? Cool huh!!
Ok...see ya around!
9/27/2010 4:33:00 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, I didn't think it had been this long since I stopped by. These photos from your trip are so gorgeous they are almost outrageous! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! Crater Lake is as wonderful as you described...your photos make it look as lovely as I bet it is. What a great place to get to visit. Your waterfalls are incredible. (I think it is so cute you added Alan's back while he is getting a photo or picking a view. Love it!) You had the trip of a lifetime with your friends and now you are getting ready for another 'trip of a lifetime' down to the balloon rally. You all will have so much fun!!! I can't wait to see all the photos. Last year we had photos on 4 or 5 sites. This year we will get to see all the different views from everyone and that's what makes it so great! Seeing things through different eyes. Get packing girl, time is flying by! Have a wonderful, fun trip!
9/26/2010 6:15:12 PM - 000076738705
Hi Debbie, Beautiful sunrise/sunsets. Very soothing now. Thanks!
9/26/2010 1:23:34 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, LOVE the header the waterfalls are fabulous!!!! Crater Lake is postcard perfect. Thanks for sharing your latest photos and I hope you are doing well. Have a fantastic week and enjoy your N.M. getaway.
9/25/2010 2:20:57 AM - 001024320926
One weeeeekkk, a weeeeekkkkk!!! New Mexico here we come!!
(I haven't been around as much because I have sooo busy with work)
One weeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
9/24/2010 5:07:01 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I'm so happy we had our long talk yesterday! It was so nice of you to call. Last night I barely had a voice and now today forget about it I can barely whisper and no one can understand me! Its so frustrating and painful! If its not bad enough to have this turn into larangitis(sp?) now I think I have bronchotis and an ear infection! I can't even do the smallest thing without a 20 minute coughing fit and coughing stuff up! Its terrible! I am finally getting my haircut and dyed this weekend but if I'm this sick I won't be able to go! I haven't had my hair cut or dyed since June and its almost Oct. That's over 3.5 months! I look a wreck! Urgh!!!!

Anyways, hope you have a wonderful weekend! I know you will be busy getting ready for your trip! I'm so excited for you! :)
9/24/2010 5:34:52 AM - 002035648808
Hey Deb...just think...in a week we will get ot finally meet face to face..How exciting is that. Mary is still talking about the gift that you sent in the mail...So generous and thoughtful..Well, a little over 24 hours and the fun begins. We are headed up tomorrow to St. Louis to help with last minute details. I am so excited but very emotional at the same time. I am a big sap when it comes to weddings...so I can just imagine that I will be boohooing like a baby on Sat. I hate to cry in public, but it is inevitable I am afraid. I hope all has gone well for you lately. I have been horrible about stopping by sites....I am ready for life to slow up a bit...running at a high speed with no end in site. It is making an old lady out of me, lol! Have a great week-end and see ya a week from tomorrow..that sounds good, just saying it doesn't it :)
9/23/2010 7:16:14 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks so much for giving me a call! It made my day! Your such a sweetheart! It took hours to explain the complicated situation that I just gave you a glimpse of the situation! Sorry it took so long to try to explain. Do you see why I said I can write a book a week on my life and fill a whole library with books of the craziness in my life! It would have been so hard to write it all in an email. Thanks again for all your support! It has meant so much to me! I am so blessed and grateful I met you! Have a peaceful day and fabulous weekend!

I'm so excited for you on your 1st solo trip! You deserve it! I know you will have the time of your life! :)
9/23/2010 4:01:32 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks so much for giving me a call and for checking in on me on my sharesite. Its been another crazy week. We came back from IN on Monday night. I was super sick with the fever, chills, bodyaches, headache, nausea, sore throat, swollen glands, etc. I have been trying to take it easy. Its so painful to talk or I would have called you back since I now have a cell phone. I got it like a week ago and never used it yet! LOL!

I came home to find out my 41 year old Danny cousin had a heartattack and is in the hospital. I should know more today because they are doing tests to see if he will need surgery. Then my friend Dawn's Aunt Louise also had a heartattack and we are close to her. Aunt Louise is only 48 and has 3 boys. They are 18,14, & 6! She is going through a messy divorce and the stress put a strain on her heart I'm guessing! They had to put a stint in her heart! Then Dawn's dad is now in hospice and dying from cancer. Its so sad!

Anyways, I'm so excited that you are going to NM! I am so happy for you! It will be the time of your life! Are you going by yourself or is your husband going as well? I can't wait to see all the photos! I wish I could go but my life is such a mess right now! Hopefully next year! Its hard to because my wedding anniversary is Oct. 1 and Marina will be 16 on Oct. 7th! I think the balloon festival is that week. Rob is coming home for the 1st time on Oct. 2 until Oct.6! He got put on the best schedule where they work 4 days for 12 hours each day then get 4 days off! Its like the 1st good news we got in months! :)
9/21/2010 8:04:06 PM - 001023411097
Congrats on going to NM. We will have a blast. I hope it is going to be cooler than here! My husband will be with me so I will not be able to spend all my time with you guys. He is really sweet and wants me to hang with the girls. Talk later I am working on an article for Shutterfly. Later lady!!
9/21/2010 6:54:04 PM - 003007683511
Hi Deb I just love the cloud pics... very nice!! hope you get to feeling better soon.
9/21/2010 4:46:53 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Are you getting all of your schedule worked out for next week!! You didn't get to camp this year..but we'll be outdoors a lot next weekend! :0)
9/20/2010 11:40:38 AM - 001062713509
POP! That is what your page does! You take amazing photos! We leave for Europe on 10/4. It has just been a crazy hectic summer & no, the front porch is still not finished. :( It has to be done before we leave b/c of the cooler weather that will happen before we get back. Looks like I have missed a lot on your page & that is my loss but I intend to get caught up ~ someday. Your grandsons are beautiful. Aren't they so much fun to spend time with! Hey, I got your msg about facebook ~ I am just going to have to set you up myself so we can keep in touch easier/better! Hope you have a wonderful day JustDeb!
9/20/2010 1:50:49 AM - 002029331419
Debie...Looks like you'll be making some new pages with Hot Air Balloons on them!! :0)
9/19/2010 2:38:58 AM - 002029331419
Debbie...look in your junk folder..I sent you an email!
9/17/2010 10:20:24 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie...Wow! Your trip sounds like it was a great time and I've seen pics of Crater Lake...but never been there! What a great time for you to get to go! I'm so surprised that you've had such a cool summer...it wasn't the hottest summer we've had...but we are about 5 degrees warmer this month then the normal temps so we are still using our airconditioner. Low 80's are ok, but we hit 90...and it feels really hot to me!
I will be checking out your pictures that you have tagged for the winter...from here they cannot make me sneeze!! haha
Have a terrific weekend!

Debbie, Thanks for your kind words about Carmine. He will be missed and he will be there in spirit at Gianna's wedding. It is bittersweet. My family is blessed to have such wonderful friends both near and far. Enjoy every day because when the Good Lord calls us no matter what age we must go.

I hope you had a wonderful vacation. Looking forward to your photographs. And I must say your Summer Flowers keep calling out to me. Love that album. Once again thanks.

9/7/2010 5:04:34 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, First thank you for the birthday wishes. That was very sweet of you. I appreciate it very much. I do hope you had a great holiday weekend. I simply love your home page header, WOW it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I do hope you & your family are all well. I'll be by later in the week to explore whats new. Enjoy your day.
9/7/2010 4:56:12 PM - 002020640084
We made it home safely yesterday in the evening! We stayed an extra 2 days! I am so exhausted! We thought Marina had school on Wed. but it was today! In NY the kids always start the Wed. after Labor Day! I feel so bad for Marina she must be so exhausted. Then we didn't finish her back to school shopping. Thank god we got her book bag and tons of outfits already. We went shopping at the outlet mall in Michigan City, IN and got some really good deals. Then a few weeks ago we went school shopping here because they had a huge sale and I told Marina to pick out a couple outfits because I hate last minute school shopping when everything is picked over and its crowded. We still have to buy her sneakers, long sleeved shirts, and some hoodies.

How was your Labor day weekend? I hope it was perfect and you were able to spend it with friends and family! :)
9/6/2010 10:29:46 PM - 002088910291
Thanks Barbara! , I am a neighborhood flower stalker too! I walk all over looking for something I don't have and catch a pic! I like to save them to warm us all in the winter! Many more are coming! I will keep updating the flower page thru the winter! Deb
9/6/2010 2:22:14 AM - 001023411097
Hey Lady, you are good at your two page spreads, love the ones in your Deception Pass, perfect.
9/3/2010 10:30:47 PM - 001041693728
The picture of the red pitcher plant is SPECTACULAR!!!!
9/2/2010 4:16:01 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, I do love the changes to your site. The flowers are so pretty and joyous. Thanks for always stopping by whenever you have a few moments. Have a wonderful weekend. Hope you have some wonderful weather.
9/1/2010 9:11:17 PM - 001023411097
OMG look at the flowers above they are awesome! I must look around and see what you have new, hope all is going good for you and your family. Each time I come here you have more beautiful flowers.  Debbie when it comes to growing flowers, I stink at it!  It is too hot here and I give up. Spring and Fall thats it for us. bj
8/30/2010 12:00:37 PM - 002020640084
By the way, Rob already figured out how to comment on my sharesite. Its keeping him so busy and its helping him cope with not being here in NY with us! I am so grateful for my sharesite! :)
8/30/2010 11:46:16 AM - 002020640084

WOW!!!! The headers are gorgeous!!!! I love them!

How was your weekend? Has it warmed up in your area yet? I can't believe you had so many 60 degree days. We have had 80's -90's the past few months. Its so funny because Indianna's climate is almost exact to Buffalo, NY. They get alot of snow but nothing compared to BUFFALO SNOW! The average monthly tempatures are almost identical. Indianna's high temps for each month are like 3-6 degrees hotter.  

Rob left to move to IN on Sat.! Its was so hard watching him leave! I am so heartbroken and lost without him already! Today Marina and I are going to IN to help Rob get situated with his apartment. We planned on leaving Friday to get in the apartment but it didn't work out and turned into a REAL NIGHTMARE! (LONG STORY). Rob had to pack up his car and be in a hotel the past few days. I was so heartbroken! I tried so hard to avoid that situation and it got all messed up. (LONG STORY) I will have to tell you on the phone this weekend if I get a chance. The situation was so disappointing and stressful!

Rob and my brother Anthony will be sharing an apartment for now in Indianna. Today is their 1st day of work! Well today is the physical. Then the rest of the week is safety meetings and movies. 

I figured it would be better if I got there when Marina and I could help with the apartment. I will be here in NY until we rent out or sell our house. I was just focusing on getting Rob an apartment and getting him situated then I will try to figure out if I want to rent or sell. We really don't have the money to pay for 2 homes in 2 states and to wait for the house to sell. We will most likely rent out our house. I hope and pray that my friends Aunt will be able to rent it. She even has interest in buying it because she going through a divorce but isn't sure when she will get money. She asked if she could rent out our house but at the time I thought we would be able to just put it up for sale and move on with our lives without worrying about if something goes wrong with the house or if someone we rent to destroys it.

Anyways, its my 1st roadtrip with me driving. I only went on the thruway/highway about 20 times in my life so this is going to be a HUGE challenge! I live in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY and to drive to the apartment in Indianna its over an 8 hour drive! I'm hoping and praying we make it there safely! I have to go and get ready. I will be back Friday night. If Marina is bored to tears we will leave on Thursday morning and be home Thursday evening.



GOOD NEWS...I WILL ALSO BE MOVING CLOSE TO ALICIA. I'M SO EXCITED! We are going to meet up this fall. Right now I am taking it minute by minute so its hard to plan ahead but I'm sure things will be more situated in a few weeks that I can plan for a get together. It will be so much fun. She's such a sweetheart and emailed me info about the covered bridge festival in IN! It made my day! :)



I'm also close to Guru Cheri, Guru Vickie, & Guru Karen! Alicia said we will have to try to have a MIDWEST shutterfly gathering in the fall! It would be so much fun! :)

Talk to you soon!

Have a week filled with tons of perfect photo opportunities! :)

8/27/2010 4:07:32 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie...!!
I'm hitting a few sites this morning...I'm working on getting my windows clean..and so I'm sure it'll rain! ha! Any way...wanted to buzz by and say thanks tons for all of your sweet comments!! I read them all and they mean so much! ...Ok..gotta go..but after next weekend...I'll be around a lot more! have a terrific weekend!
8/26/2010 12:52:52 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Debbie, Hope the sunshine and warmth returns. I know we need the rain but when I have 4 straight days of gloom and clouds it brings me down. Thanks for stopping by to view Victoria's B'day photos. I hope you & your family are all well. I must say your home page is packed with great photos and photo books. It is always a WOW factor.

Anyway do enjoy your weekend. They say the sun will return and temps back in the 80's just the way I like it. Cheers and take care.
8/25/2010 12:02:35 AM - 002020640084
I love the 2 page spread in your new deception pass book! I will check your book out in the gallery as soon as I can. I really miss the gallery and visiting the sharesites! I love your new book so much! You are so talented and your work is such an inspiration! :)
8/24/2010 11:58:18 PM - 002020640084

Congratulations on your Deception pass photo being featured on the PictureMore article! I'm so excited for you!
I got your email.....thanks so much! I will try to email you tonight. Now my computer is acting up again so now I'm on Marina's computer!

Glad you had a fun weekend! Can't wait to see the photos! :)

8/23/2010 7:37:08 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Yep...that's that Viper I was telling you about Haha!!
I think that I just can't help my self...and my cameras are both going to be around...even if they might not be in my hands! Ha! But I will have Shirley around most of the time...that's just how it is! haha
So when are you going to go camping? I know you look forward to a trip in the summer! I'm thinking we should make one more trip after the wedding...but I'll have to do some fast talking for Steve to go up...It gets pretty cool up there...but the leaves would be changing and I'd love that! Sadie would love to go back up again too!..We'll see!
Kay's reception is red roses...on all of the tables..so I WILL have new bouquets to add to your flower page!...but be sure to remind me ok! LOL!
Have a great day Debbie!
8/19/2010 5:40:38 PM - 001038348079
Hello my dear pal. Hope you have had a wonderful wk! I'm so far behind on site visiting and the gallery. Where does time go? How do you find the time? I'm still editing wedding images and went to the fair for a photo competition this wk. Ok, better get busy editing. Lots of love and love love love your headers!
8/17/2010 10:24:24 PM - 001024320926
Post your book to the Gallery, I know it's wonderful, can't wait to see those two page spreads!!
8/16/2010 8:42:14 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, love hearing about the great weather there!! We are still baking here, hopefully we'll see a change in the weather soon, sometimes it's hot all the way to October.
I'm off today so I have been uploading pictures from my iPhone, I have so many on there, it's seriously way too many. I love using my iPhone though. Fun little pictures.
Went to the Dallas World Aquarium this weekend, it was awesome! Kyleigh had a blast, she loved the Manatees the most!! I took pictures but they weren't that great.
Hope you had a good weekend.
8/14/2010 3:34:40 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...How have you been lately girl? I haven't heard from you for awhile. My internet has been down for most of the week! I finally called and threw a hissy fit with windstream and they managed to get it fixed over the phone even though it took 1.5 hours of my afternoon. Larry just had surgery yesterday. I had to take off to take him over there and had to work 12 hour shifts which make me have 14 hour days with travel time. I guess it was a good thing my computer was down, lol! I am trying to catch up with everyone. Jeff and Mary's wedding is coming along nicely. we got Luke this last week-end and will get him again next week-end. I haven't even downloaded my pics that I took of him. I really didn't take a lot of time to take pics of him this last time though. I spent too much time playing with him. Tippy is finally calming down some. I found out that he doesn't like a can with coins in them, so I have used that to train him not to jump or bite. It has worked like a charm, yeah. I think that him and Luke can play together next week-end. Luke wanted to play with him so bad last week-end but I just couldn't take the chance. So, you all haven't been immune from the hot weather either. We have had a record # of days over 100 degrees for the last 13 weeks. We have only had 2-3 day breaks every once in awhile. Everything is burning up. My poor flower garden is about done for. And my annuals, yuck, they are so stressed out due to constant well water. We are also in a terrible drought. I am beginning to believe that global warming is here to stay. Such nasty winters and summers. Oh, I have been meaning to tell you that my sister is seeing a fellow from Seattle. They met online and he has traveled to MO twice now for week long visits. They are getting quite serious. She wants to move there and he wants to move to MO. How funny is that. He says he is tired of the Seattle weather and she is tired of the MO weather! I hope all is going well. Have you been working on any new books or taking tons of new pics lately? I will browse around and see what ya been up to lately. Have a great week-end!
8/11/2010 11:27:32 PM - 001076975951
Debbie I came to visit and take a look at your Deception Pass page. WOW it is beautiful. This scenery is breathtaking as are the mountains of Washington state. Amazing. I always look forward to seeing what is new on your site. You never disappoint. Have a great evening.
8/11/2010 5:48:50 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! So is it still unusually cool there? We are definitely getting your heat from last year. I can't remember the day it was under 100 degress here lately.
The Deception Pass boat tour looks incredible and it sounds like Ethan had a great time.
I love the new black and white book. It's amazing and looks so artsy and professional! Way to go, girl!
Take care and talk to you soon!
8/11/2010 3:22:17 PM - 001017544077
Thank you Debbie for offering some nice words and friendship. I really am excited about getting to know everyone of the Guru Group. Thanks again Deb!
PS. Absolutely love the black and white photo book. B/W has always been one of my favorites. Love pages 21 and 27! Beautiful work!
8/11/2010 2:04:16 PM - 002020640084
The IN tour is this Friday at 9:30 AM! We are leaving tomorrow for IN!
8/11/2010 2:02:22 PM - 002020640084
My computer crashed and I've been without a computer since Friday! It was acting up and on Sat at 6:45AM it crashed! On Monday it went to the shop to get fixed! I'm sneaking on Marina's laptop real quick! We felt like we didn't have any choice but to put the paperwork into the IN plant since PA and OH didn't work out! Yesterday Rob got a call from IN so we will be moving ASAP! I was hoping to try to sell our house but we are so broke and the rents are outrageous in IN! They are 3times to 8 times more expensive than here in my area! I really don't know how we would afford it so I'm thinking we have no choice but to rent out our house! I don't want to do it. Its stinks because we wasted thousands of dollars going to PA, OH, & IN! Then spent a ton of money on repairs for the house and getting it ready to sell! Then money going to Canada for days while Rob was redoing the floors! I can't believe I will be 8.5 hours away from Joe! I can't even think about it! This whole situation is going to be so difficult! All the support and prayers have helped so much since we don't have any support here!
8/11/2010 2:38:48 AM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Swinging by to see what's new in the Northwest! :0) It's been so hot here...and it's going to warm up until Sunday! We need these temps to drop before the wedding!! I'm glad you liked Hannah's page! She will have her Mom turn it on and she'll dance and sing to the music! ha! What are your plans this weekend?
8/10/2010 12:32:23 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, Hope you had a great weekend. Thanks for visiting last week and glad you liked my new header. I love your new home page and the header. Just beautiful. And I guess that adorable little boy is your grandson. You got a photo how nice.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and look around. Enjoy your week and take care.
8/8/2010 10:36:55 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, just stopping to say howdy and see what's new :) Hope that your weekend has been good to you!!
8/7/2010 5:56:59 PM - 002025703401
Debbie
Have you ever been whale watching? We are considering a trip out of Anacortes:  http://www.island-adventures.com/  next summer.
8/5/2010 4:02:58 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Stopping by for a look see on whats new around here! ...love your headers!
8/5/2010 12:10:37 PM - 002095413226
Spent some time looking over all your new photo books. Thoroughly enjoyed them all. What wonderful colors and pictures!!!
8/4/2010 7:28:33 PM - 002020640084
I'm off to Bills Training camp with the boys! Hopefully my camera will cooperate! Have a great day! :)
8/4/2010 5:20:17 PM - 001062713509
Oh my goodness I love your bridge pictures! It feels like I am right there, I even got a little dizzy looking at the first one b/c I do not like heights! Forgive me for not stopping by sooner, I bet I missed a lot. Your grandson is quite a handsome young man too! I know you are proud of him. Do you have any pics of your camping trip in your back yard with him? I bet that was fun. I remember camping with my parents when I was little, when we went on family vacations we always stayed at KOA's, there were so many of us that was the only option, a big ole' tent. Today, if I camp, it is at a hotel!! Brian said after 20 years in the Army he has camped enough. Our boys however love to go camping. Is it warm up there yet? girl it is 106 here, yesterday and today is going to be worse. Well, I am going to go browse your new pages and pictures, talk to you soon! Hope you have a beautiful day & that you are staying cool.
8/2/2010 1:14:33 AM - 002020640084

Debbie,
Thanks so much for stopping by today! It was so wonderful of you to think of me! It means so much to read your heartfelt, sweet,kind, compassion, & supportive message! I don't know what I would do without all of my Shutterfly family! We don't have support here so that makes it even more difficult! When our friends and family find out they say insensitive things like, "OH YOU GUYS ARE SO LUCKY TO GET OUT OF BUFFALO AND BE ABLE TO START ALL OVER!" I can't believe people don't get how heartbroken we are to tear apart our family and rip them from everyone and the only place they called HOME. Well as you know Joe refuses to go with us and is moving in with his best friends family! We are devasted to move and leave him behind! Then I have to tear Marina away from the only school system and place she lived in her entire life! She will be completely alone and in 10th grade with strangers! High School years are difficult enough let alone starting with all strangers! Now since the PA and OH plants didn't work out we don't have any other option but IN! Now since we wasted so much time going to PA and OH there isn't anyway Marina will be able to start school with them. IN schools start on Aug. 18 in that part of IN! That's in 2 weeks! We won't hear from IN for at least 2 weeks then Rob will have to leave 5-10 days after! He will be all alone and we will be left behind trying to sell my house! If the PA thing worked out in June then we would of rented out the house just so Marina would be able to start school with everyone at the same time! My poor daughter is so stressed, sad, irratible, upset, & heartbroken. It tears me up to see my outgoing, happy, energetic, fun girl who has always been a little social butterfly be so quiet, sad, withdrawn, stressed, & avoiding social functions! Our house is packed morning noon and night with the kids friends and now she only has someone come over like 2-3 times a month! ITS TOTALLY OUT OF CHARACTER FOR MARINA! I'm so worried about her! Its seems to have gotten even worse since Joe's party and I don't know if its because she was totally humiliated at the party! My friend's 6 year old ran up to Marina in front of her and Joe's friends and ripped down her top and exposed her bra in front of everyone! I didn't find out until the party was over! I try to talk to Marina but she won't talk about anything! I don't know what is going on but I know she is not the social butterfly anymore! Its so sad! I can't even imagine what will happen this school year when she's ripped from her home, friends, & family! :(

I remember when my aunts brother in law lost his job everytime we ran into them I would get choked up  and have to hold back the tears and we aren't that close with them we see them every few years up until recently we see them or bump into them 3 or 4 times a year! They are older and have grown kids except for a 6 year old all the other kids are married and moved out! Their house was paid off for years and they had tons of money in the bank and I still was so heartbroken for them! I don't know how our friends and family just can't understand how difficult, stressful, dissettling, upsetting, & heartbreaking this is for us! :(

 

I really appreciate your support and your phone called meant the world to me! You have a heart of gold! Thnks so much! :)  

8/1/2010 5:49:48 PM - 000076738705
Good Morning Debbie. I Looked through another great book, and you honor the trees in your 'Beautymyster" book!
8/1/2010 2:07:31 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, I love your new header. Beautiful!!! And I guess that is your grandson? You were able to get a picture of him, LOL did you have to bribe him. ;-) You seem to have caught your photo mojo and I remember you fell into a slump for a while. Glad you are back snapping and share. I hope you and your family are well. I shall see you on the sites.
8/1/2010 4:44:15 AM - 001059933021
Debbie, your site is filled with a fantastic collection of breath taking photos that show off various sides of your character. I was really bowled by your amazing photographs! This is just the best site on Shutterfly... it's got it all!
Thank you for your kind comments on my site!
7/31/2010 3:51:04 AM - 002029355296
you got a great eye
7/30/2010 4:50:25 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie.....thanks so much for stopping by. YOur visits are always welcome and much appreciated. Your positive comments mean a lot to me. I have been very bad about getting on the sites. My summer has flown by and now I have gone and hurt my back, ugh.

It looks like your photography has gone to a whole new level. The headers and deception pass are unbelievable. I so need to get those photography lessons in and fast. You guys are getting miles and miles away from me. Your Grandson is just a little doll. But don't tell him I called him a doll, he might not like it, lol!

When looking at your two bridge pics, I feel that I am in the photo. Now that is some good photography my friend. Are you still taking classes? And if so, how are they going? Well, I am going to look around and see what ya been up to this summer ;) Take care and blessings!
7/29/2010 2:05:40 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, as I have said this page is fantastic!!! I wanted to thank you for stopping by and looking at the Forth of July page. Even though it is for the 4th, it is also a "grandma" page. There are lots and lots of David in there. I was walking the route so I figured I could get the shots I wanted. Lisa, by daughter is the one in the light blue top carrying the banner, and I am in the red hat in the header. It was a family occasion and we enjoyed celebrating our country's birthday together. Thank you for visiting!
7/27/2010 1:05:53 AM - 001024320926
Awesome new headers and page!! Wow! I loved it! What an awesome adventure for Ethan. Hope to see a book from those great pictures.
How's the weather there? It's super hot here, nothing new fro our area. I will be so glad when it's cooler, like in October or November.
I met up with Jamie in Ft. Worth, she had a meeting there. We explored a little in dowtown and the Stockyards. I love it there. I know you have been in Texas, have you been there?
7/26/2010 6:07:06 AM - 002065887734
What fantastic additions to your home page. I love Ethan, the water, and the bridge! What wonderful pictures!!! Your Deception Pass page is SUPER!!! I love the entire page and the individual photos add up to a smashing presentation! What a great day for exploring and having fun and what great photos to remember this day in the future. p.s. I love it that Ethan saw a whale! That made this so perfect for him and I can just imagine David 'seeing a whale', too. How excited he would be, so I know Ethan was too. Just don't let him know about the rocks til he's an adult...if ever!
7/26/2010 4:05:08 AM - 000076738705
just had a chance to look at some of your sunsets and they are great!

I love the new headers and page! Your new b/w photobook is so beautiful! I was trying to catch up in the gallery! Thanks so much for your sweet comments for the Shutterfly contest! It made my day! Have a wonderful week! :)
7/25/2010 4:26:39 AM - 002020640084
Hi,
I hope your having a wonderful weekend! I am hoping to catch up this week! :)

Hi
7/24/2010 7:17:03 PM - 003033316682
Hi Debie, I like the collection of flowers which u have. It's WOW!
7/24/2010 2:56:13 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. Hope you are doing well. I am trying to take care of myself...sometimes I do better than others. I get to see some dear friends this Sunday so I am excited about that. I thought I was getting David sometime this weekend but a free rototiller in another city beat me out. (Can't blame them for that! lol). I will get him some day this next week, so that will work out nicely.

I haven't had much done with my photos yet. I keep having appointments and such and it makes me too tired to do much else in this heat. It is hot! It was 94 today (or was that yesterday? They are all running together with the heat...) with heat index of 105...plus so humid lots of people are having trouble breathing. Even Lisa is having problems and that is unusual for her! David, too. I hope the weather settles down soon so people can enjoy the "Great Outdoors" some before it frosts!

Hope you have a nice weekend. Be glad it is a bit chilly. That is much better than this horrendous heat with humidity. My best, Barbara Jean

Tell me about your grandson visit, I hope you took pictures because I want to see them. Have a great weekend. bj
7/22/2010 1:41:48 AM - 001059933021
Debbie, Lillian is my daughter's third child. Thanks for asking and thanks for visiting my site. Have a nice evening!
7/21/2010 8:38:23 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, How are things coming along? How was your grandson's visit? Did you have fun at the park? I must say I love all your car photos. Really beautiful.

We are having one of the hottest July since 1966. I just love all you photo books here on the home page. FABULOUS!!!!


So any plans for the weekend? Whatever you do have fun and enjoy. I leave you with a quote today:
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

7/20/2010 3:37:42 AM - 001023411097
DEBBIE, last time Phil and I were in Wanachie? sp can't remember the name of the town. We were staying at the beautiful lodge and the entire lodge had people there for a car show. Classic Cars and awesome. Love your header.
7/20/2010 12:21:45 AM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, loving those car pictures, the one that won is beautiful, I think they all are though :)
Any big photos plans coming up? You have definitely made full use of your class. Mine class is done and it helped me alot but I have a ways to go, just need some time.
How was your weekend? Mine was slow and quiet, just what I needed. Work has gone insane lately. Seriously it makes it really tough to get to more than one or two sites a day. I use to have time rolling out my ears. Kyleigh eats up a fair amount of time on the weekends but I sure wouldn't change that any, she's my punkin!
Hope you had a good weekend and love visiting :)
7/17/2010 3:40:41 PM - 001023411097
OMG I LOVE THE HEADER! DEBBIE YOU ARE A SWEET LADY AND I LOVE COMING HERE TO VISIT AND AS WE SAY "SMELL THE ROSES". HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. BARB IN TEXAS
7/17/2010 10:58:31 AM - 000076738705
The black and white book is great. I think I'll try some myself. Rich really enjoyed looking at the old cars (my other half! ) Thanks for stopping by mine, will check back soon :)
7/16/2010 7:41:16 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
How are you doing? Any plans for the weekend? I hope you enjoy the weekend!

We are having Joe's grad party and I have a million things to do! YIKES!

I was just taking a break from cleaning & stopped by to take a quick peek! I will try to stop back on Monday or Tuesday! :)
7/16/2010 4:35:02 PM - 002065887734
Hello, Debbie. Stopping by to peek at your pages. I always find something new or notice something for the first time.

Hope you are catching up from being "Grandma". It takes me awhile to catch up from anything! lol. We are trying to stay cool here. It's too hot to even go outside and try to find some photos...that's HOT! Well, I think I will go do some housework...that is what I do when I can't use a camera. See you soon, Barbara Jean
7/15/2010 3:12:03 AM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!
Thanks for your comments on the wedding pics...I just did them for my friends daughter...that 'extra' camera that catches thiings that I knew would be special to her! I am glad that they turned out nice! I've done some small weddings before - but if I'm not the one in charge, I really try not to interfear and over-ride their shots...ya know? But...I also managed to get some that they didn't...so that is fun to know too! LOL!
One thing you might want to do...make a list of the shots you want to get! Besides freelancing during the party time...it helps to know what your important shots are too! :0)
7/14/2010 5:21:56 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! Thanks so much for stopping by and all the comments on my recent pictures. It is so good to hear from you and like you, I have had a HORRIBLE time lately trying to keep caught up with share sites. I always seem to have problems with that, especially in the summer, since I tend to stay extra busy during the summertime. I hope you guys are having a fabulous summer.
I just checked out your car show pictures and they are incredible! The winning car is so cool! Love it! Car shows are loads of fun. We had one here last weekend that we usually go to, but had to miss it this year to attend a friend's 40th birthday at the lake.
I also checked out your two latest ohotobooks - both GORGEOUS! I need to find them in Gallery and comment on them specifically there. The sunsets and sunrises are so achingly beautiful.
Hope your week rocks!
7/13/2010 4:07:52 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Came to check out what's new in your world.......or old...old cars!! I love them...and what a beauty the first place car is!! LOVELY!!
Love the Car Shows! :0)
7/12/2010 10:49:20 PM - 002086360191
Debbie: Great looking auto photos. Hansome cars at the show make for good photos if you know how to take them. Getting people with the cars always appeals to my need to include the human element. Thanks for sharing your work and continuing to visit our cross country bike ride site.

Debbie, I am just getting back into "the grove" since April. I can't believe it's been that long since I've been here long enough to visit sites "for real". I love your cars, even though I am not much of a car person. They are beautiful and your captures are just delightful! The details you find are marvelous. I love your Black and White book. It is so refreshing. I found it in the Gallery and fell in love with it. Your Sunsets and Sunrise is gorgeous, though I'd probably do better on the Sunsets. (I am not a morning person) The Magnolia book is perfection. The photos on each page are works of art.

I have had so much fun looking around and exploring pages I've already been to along with the new pages. You have added to the pages I've visited and they are delightful to view again even if you hadn't added items.

Your site is beautiful. Thank you for making it so fun and interesting to stop by! :)
7/11/2010 5:31:27 PM - 000044690790
Wow, Debbie! Even the covers of your books are amazing! You have quite the eye for color schemes too.
7/11/2010 6:45:54 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Just stopped by to say HI! Hope you had a fabulous weekend so far! We just got back from Canada! I have so mch catching up to do! Joe's grad party is next week!

I have so many photo to upload but I don't know when I will have time! Hope you got the Quilt Garden postcard I sent from IN!

Thanks for the day wishes!

Talk to you soon! :)
7/9/2010 1:46:01 PM - 001004773761
Hey Debbie!

Thanks for checking out my Egypt book and leaving a comment. If you like architecture pics, please take a look at my latest albums from Paris, Vienna and Salzburg. Go to my share site at...

7/9/2010 6:14:11 AM - 002066991916
WOW! Debbie those car show are absolutely wonderful. Your photos are Supremely Excellent! Truly captured every details of the car. Especially the Mercury Convertible car (red color) that is so stunning shot! I love it. Let me look around to see if what is new with your photos.
7/8/2010 11:55:43 PM - 001024320926
Love the headers and those cars!! Your pictures are wonderful!!! I'm headed to check out that page :)
7/7/2010 11:23:08 PM - 001062713509
Debbie! How are you? Did you have a good holiday? Those are some pretty cool pictures of cars you have in the headers! Not much of a car person myself, but the way you show what you see in your pictures is just wonderful. You have such a a creative eye, I love looking at your pictures. Things have been so busy around here that I haven't had time to visit anyone's page in weeks. We have so many projects started and it seems that none of them are getting finished. On top of that, my son & his girlfriend had to move out of their apartment b/c of a brown recluse infestation ~ they were in the process of moving anyway ~ however the house they were moving to isn't ready until August! So, guess what ~ I have more house guests & no room for them. We are making do though & it is actually nice to have them around a while. They have a cat as well, which my cat does not like. Our other son, Jake, (the 15 yr old) is suppose to be home tonight after being gone for 4 weeks & I have my granddaughter almost daily while my daughter works. I think I am going to go take a nap! Hope you are doing not just well, but fantastic!!
7/7/2010 1:24:35 PM - 001059554087
Hello Debbie--you are a very talented person and photographer. I am stunned by the beauty of your book featuring the flowers. My first love is gardening and my second is car shows--so you have really made my day. Thank you so much for sharing. You are an inspiration!!
7/4/2010 6:30:49 PM - 002065887734
Debbie, Stopped by to say HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! ...and then I saw these neat cars. (I am not a car person, but I love to look at the old restored cars) Really nice job! I love your different perspectives on the cars. I especially enjoy the whitewall tire in the header! COOL!!!
7/4/2010 5:29:42 PM - 002020640084
I love the cars! Happy 4th of July! :)
7/4/2010 3:20:33 PM - 002081530895
I love your "Profesionalism" Works of art well done. Your work is a true JOY to view. Keep it coming. Your stories are great.
7/4/2010 1:56:01 PM - 001076975951
Love the new header Debbie...Have a safe, fun and Happy July 4th. Catch you during the week. Hope you are having good weather this holiday weekend.
7/4/2010 5:57:59 AM - 002035648808
Wow Debbie, your site is just gorgeous. I love the pics of the cars. Again, your photography skills are growing by leaps and bounds. I left you a comment on your black and white book, but let me tell your, I looked at it again and it is just fabulous. Great, great job. I hope you all have a happy 4th and are doing some fun stuff in spite of the yucky weather. You need to bottle some rain and send it our way. We are in a horrible drought. It is so hard on the flowers and vegatables. Take care and I'll catch up with you next week-end. Janna and I are off to church camp at noon today. I am up a little late, lol!
7/4/2010 1:40:31 AM - 002088910291
I will be adding a page with the rest of the car photos, but am too tired right now!!!
7/2/2010 8:49:15 PM - 001023411097
Debbie you are a sweetheart and I appreciate you and all the visits you make on the sharesites. You encourage others and make them feel so good. I wish I only had more time. Debbie its not because I don't want to, I have a full time job with my sweet little mom. I take her out to get her out of the house. Keep meals for her and whatever makes her happy. SHE IS UNDER THE WEATHER ALOT LATELY AND I KNOW IT MAY GET MORE OFTEN AS SHE GET OLDER. I AM THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS SO I MUST MAKE THING OK WITH HER. Hugs again. bj.
7/1/2010 7:37:51 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, Just wanted to stop by to wish you a SAFE & HAPPY July 4, hope you have a wonderful weekend and great weather for the holiday. Take care and I'll visit next week. All the best to you.
6/29/2010 11:45:58 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, Sorry I have been slow to get around. With moving to a new office and then taking care of Kyleigh with her virus this weekend I have had no time for anything. That's for asking about her, she had a bug and was sick most of the weekend, she was a little trooper but so sick. She started feeling better about an hour before I took her back to her mom.
The online class is going well, I got a POW, 2 goods and a do over on the last assignment. This one is a little more scary, advanced exposure!! It's due tomorrow, I need to reread and take some pictures. I have learned alot, I'm no where near the pros like the other students in this class but I'm trying. I have learned enough that it is already making a difference in my pictures.
I know what you mean about being busy, with working, getting Kyleigh on the weekends and the normal daily things I do I am running out of time all the time. I miss the share sites the most, they're my favorite!!
Thanks for checking on me today and I'll hope to have more time soon :)
6/29/2010 2:28:23 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie!
It looks like you might be in for a stormy day around your area? I always try and think of who my Sfly buddies are when they give the National weather in the morning!...Jamie's getting the rain from the storm in the Gulf. We got some MUCH needed rain around here last night. It made the evening nice and cool!
So the wedding was tons of fun last weekend, and I've been working on pictures like crazy! I took a bunch! We have a family reunion in Colorado this weekend, so Friday we'll be gone for the weekend....I can't believe that it's already July!! garsh!!
Take care and keep Hunter busy! :0)
6/26/2010 3:54:52 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks for the sweet emails! I emailed you back today! :)
I love the architecture page! You did an outstanding job! :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
6/26/2010 3:27:50 AM - 002065887734
Thanks for leaving these photos on long enough for me to see! I am sure that is what you did. LOL. They are WONDERFUL! I love them all, but the black and white in the header just keeps me coming back. I love it. The balance is so perfect. What a great way to view the world. I love your eye for beauty. I am still trying to cool down from that hot trip home with no air. I melted and am still hot and tired. This photo of the tree seems so cool...maybe I will just rest here a bit.

Everything is so lovely. I will peek around a bit now and more tomorrow. I am so glad to be home. My best, Barbara Jean
6/25/2010 2:56:35 AM - 001062713509
They ~ my husband & son ~ started on the back porch today...right after I finished cleaning the house. Hope you are doing great & have a fantastic weekend!
6/24/2010 12:18:33 PM - 002059460698
Hi Debbie. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments about the oil spill. It really helps to know that people care and are taking notice of what's happening down here. I'm so sad about it all. I can't help but wonder if it will ever be the same again.

6/18/2010 3:53:22 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! What's clicking?..hehe..Oh! I see it's your camera! :0) LOL!!
Love your headers!! and this tree shot!!
Love your pics Lady!
Well...ol'Duke got a Sister on Monday night! It was a surprise to me and ...she's lovely! I named her Shirley!! (Surely I can get a good picture with this camera....and it goes on and on, LOL!) Anywho...now I'm working on the manual that came with her!
My sister was here and she got a new camera on Tuesday, she had been saving for awhile! Wed I took off from work and we went to the Aquarium to get these new camera's warmed up and boy did we have fun...no pictures on my site yet...but they will be this weekend!
Hope you have a good weekend! Catch ya later!
6/17/2010 8:41:15 PM - 002059460698
I love your pictures at the top of this page. they're beautiful!! The trees are so crisp and bright...I just love them, and your books are just gorgeous. It's so great to be able to see other peoples sites and projects.....they're so inspiring!! Thanks for sharing!
6/17/2010 6:00:53 PM - 001024320926
Turned in my first two picture assignment and got a POW and a Good :) They were about color and exposure. I set the manual white balance and selected picture style for the pictures. She graded on composition, thirds and tack sharpness. I am going to redo the assignment for myself and try a few things I say that some of the other students did. There are about 12 students and at least 8 of those are professional photographers. I can't hardly think of a good reason for them to take this course after seeing their pictures for assignment.
6/16/2010 7:51:04 PM - 001062713509
Happy Wednesday to you Deb! I love your new pics for class. You have a great eye for capturing what most people just pass on by and see nothing! Good for you! What is your next assignment?

Has it stopped raining there? It is unbearably hot here ~ I like summer, but it isn't my favorite & when the actual temp is 101 and the humidity prevents me from breathing ~ i would trade it for snow & ice any day. I prefer spring & fall of course!

The porch is coming along ~ we got the trim replaced & the posts up. Just some final touches, the ceiling to put up & it will be ready for weather treating & painting.

Hope you are having a great week ~ I am going to browse around some more of your pictures. ttyl.

6/16/2010 11:55:20 AM - 001076975951
Debbie, Thanks for viewing my latest Botanical Garden photo book in the gallery. I appreciate your comments. Thanks for taking a look. Hope all is well with you & your family. I hope before the summer ends you too can visit your botanical garden and make a book for us shutterfly friends to view. Have a great day and thanks also for sharing your lamps, gas lights, etc. You have a great set of photos. Take care and see you later.
6/16/2010 4:06:49 AM - 002086360191
Debbie: I love your sunset photos and the field trip to the arboretum. It must be a photography class since your photos are so great. My favorite is the big trees over the brick walkway. I like trees too. Thanks for visiting our cross country bike trip page. We are in Missoula, MT for a few days of rest waiting for a friend who will join us for the rest of our ride to Virginia.

Clyde
6/16/2010 2:01:29 AM - 002035648808
Wow Deb...All I can say is I AM JEALOUS OF THE QUALITY OF YOUR PICS. Your photography classes are paying off my friend. The composition of the above pics are perfect. I bet your instructor is very pleased with your pics. I have to start my classes soon. I am so glad that you always take the time to stop by and leave such sweet comments on my site.

I did get my jacket, it fits perfectly, but just looking at it right now makes me burn up. We are in an official drought. You woulnd't know that if you watched the national weather. It has rained as close as 3 miles from us, but has missed us for 3 solid weeks. The heat index Sat. was 109. Ugh. Still better than the cold awful winter we had. The only problem is the heat exhaust you. Yes, work is going great. I do get tired of the Doc's being so egotistical but that is the burden of the job I do. The hospital and the company are very pleased with my performance. I have increased the case mix from .95 to 1.53 which is really, really good, so I hear. It means more cash flow for the hospital and the pts. get a longer lenght of stay due to this. The only draw back is my office is outside of the hosptial and on a really busy day, I have to walk over and back 6 times. The heat is brutal and it is hard on the hair, but good exercise! Win some, lost some, lol! Have a great week and have fun with your classes. I am reving up for some more photo ops. Don't know what yet, but I will come up with something. I think I am getting ready to work on a SS for the greenhouse for next years free flowers :) I just love that the bartering system is alive and well!
6/15/2010 11:14:51 PM - 001024320926
Love those headers, beautiful!!
I stopped to tell you that my first assignment is due tomorrow, I've read and reread, so hopefully I'll do ok. I'm feeling less like jumping out a window about today, LOL!!
Hope the rain has stopped for ya'll.
6/15/2010 4:21:20 AM - 001016902205
Thank you for the sweet message on my my shutterfly book! I see you are fantastic photographer. I love your work. Thanks a bunch for the kinds words!

Good morning debbie, How are you doing? Hope you had a nice weekend and were able to enjoy the outdoors. I totally love your header. FABULOUS!!!!

Just wanted to stop by and say HI!! See you on the sites.
6/11/2010 4:43:21 PM - 002020640084
Oh...Cumberland Valley High School in PA is ranked as one of America's Best High Schools and won the Bronze medal! I'm not sure how many school beat it but they have Gold, Bronze & Honorable mention which is a huge honor to get recognized so I'm really excited that Marina will be going to way better high school in PA! I still have more research & exporing to do but I think this is the high school we will pick & move in that area! I want Marina to check out our top 3 picks & see where she wants to go. It will be extremely hard for her because she has went to the same school district her entire life! We all have lived in suburbs of Buffalo, NY & in the same area our whole lives! High school is the worse time in anyones live to relocate & my heart breaks for Marina. Joe refuses to go w/ us & is going to college in NY & living w/ his best friends family! He doesn't want to see PA or have anything to do w/ it! I am devastated! :(
6/11/2010 4:30:40 PM - 002020640084
WOW!!!! The field trip photos are so amazing! :)
Thanks for stopping by! We spent 2 days in PA! I did tons of research on the schools & the crime rates in the areas around the steel plant & I did really good with my top 3 picks! The one high school is huge & is now our top pick! Its called Cumberland Valley High School in Mechanicsburg, PA. We went in the school & talked to tons of people! I guess the photography class is taught by a professor who teaches at the college & they said that Cumberland Valley HS had better equipment than the college does! The HS won tons of awards for their music department! They won the bronze award! The school has 2500 students! My kids go to school w/1000 kids so this school is way bigger & has so much more to offer! We talked to anyone we could to get advice from people in parking lots, waitresses, teenagers in front of the schools, workers in the school & they all agree that Cumberland Valley is the best choice! We are going back next week. Then I want to take Marina on a tour of the school when she is done w/ exams in 2 weeks! I have to make those arrangements! Rob & I are going Wed-Friday next week. He has his tour for the steel plant on Friday but Marina has exams & can't go next week!

We didn't start packing yet or moving. We had 5 days of yard sales in 9 days! It was so much work but we got rid of so much stuff!

Talk 2 U soon! :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
6/10/2010 7:36:18 PM - 001062713509
Hello ~ taking a break from painting ~ thought I would browse around for a bit. I hear you are getting a lot of rain! Hey ~ my parents are talking about going to Puyallup in August to see my Dad's brother (Uncle John) ~ someone will have to go with them!! :)
6/10/2010 4:45:34 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, Hi there...I have added you as a member of my gallery site and also added a section to the Share Page for members to add their lamp post photos. I'd love to have you share yours. Thanks so much. Hope it works.

I'm happy that you and "Hunter" are taking classes and taking your passion to the next level. Enjoy.
6/10/2010 1:05:02 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, I am finally getting around to the site hopping I love to do. Geez, Galveston and work about wore me out. Well wrok was a real JOB when I came back, I am just now seeing daylight!!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the wedding and the Galveston pictures. I know it takes time to do commenting and I appreciate every single one of them!!
So you and Hunter had a great time in your class!! That's great!! I loved the pictures you posted from class, nice, pretty one right up top too! I can almost hear the water :)
I got my first assignment for the online class yesterday, pictures are due on the 16th. The lesson was 25 pages long and the assignment is 2 pictures with varying settings and three to six pictures from my portfolio, like I have one!!This class has me all a twitter, I just do not know if I am smart enough. I'll do the assignments the best that I can and go on about my life!! and if I learn a thing or two about Diego then good for me :)
6/9/2010 7:24:31 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, Thanks again for stopping by and not to worry if there are a few days that do go by and you can't visit. I understand.
Life gets busy and there are events, projects and chores to do before we can come to Shutterfly.

Yes Jean is correct I love photos of lamp posts, gas lights and laterns. I do have a share page and I will add a section for Lamp posts. You are more than welcome to add your photos too. I will add the section to my gallery site Share page. Thanks again:-)

See you on the site Debbie have a great day:-)

6/9/2010 3:10:27 AM - 001036406489

Hi Debbie, How all is going well and just want to say HI, how is your weekend? Did you go anywhere? I'll visit again during the week. Enjoy your Sunday.
6/6/2010 1:13:25 PM - 002059460698
Hi Debbie. I've been so bad about visiting all the sites lately. It's time for me to catch up, beause it's so much fun to see what others are doing, and such an iinspiration. I love your picture of the brook! Beautiful! I'm going to surf around on your pages for a bit and see what I've been missing. Have a beautiful day!!
6/6/2010 12:20:32 PM - 002081530895
Deb. What a wonderful site. keep them coming even in the rain. say hi to alan. LYA.Johnny S.
6/5/2010 3:03:48 AM - 001023411097
Hi Debbie, I hope you are doing well, I love it when you come by and I have to admit I have let myself get just too busy outside and inside. We are working on our house. Painting inside and out. There is always something that needs attention. I also have my sweet mother living her. Bless her heart she gets lonely and I try to take her out at least twice a week. Hugs from Texas. bj
6/4/2010 11:53:05 AM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, How are you doing? I did want to stop by and wish you a wonderful weekend. I do have a bridal shower tonight, my niece/Godchild. So I'll be in and out all day. I have to spruce myself up for the party. And wanted to make sure I came by to say Thanks for all your kind and thoughtful comments on my photos. As you well know by now John has left some comments regarding my garden flower pictures that although he may be trying to help with pointers wasn't very nice. So thanks for always having a kind remark to share with me. Enjoy your weekend.
6/3/2010 7:47:16 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, I am having trouble catching up since coming back from Galveston. I completely forgot about the storm photos. I posted them for you just a moment ago. They are from 2007, one year before Hurricane Ike.
I got your comment about the classes and using the manual setting. I think that's awesome!! My class begins on Friday, tomorrow. Lessons every week for a month. The first lesson has 4 photo assignments in it, I have to say that I am very nervous. The people in this class are real photographers, I am just a gal wanting to better for me. Hopefully I will learn somethings and move on. It's all online so at least I don't have to look like as fool in person :)
I will be back, I am working on my site update and then I'll be site hopping the rest of the time :)
6/3/2010 4:21:06 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks again for being so thoughtful & compassionate! Your kindness meant so much to me! I appreciate the sweet email! I am so exhausted but I will try to call you tomorrow evening to fill you in! :)
I love the new headers & album! :)
6/1/2010 11:28:20 PM - 001062713509
Hey Debbie! You always have amazing photos on your pages. I love visiting your site & looking around. We did have a good weekend, thanks for asking ~ got a lot of stuff accomplished around the house. Our house had some damage from the storm that came through her last May & we have been fixing up as we go along. The front porch, which was enclosed, is now open & the ceiling which was falling down b/c of the damage to the roof is ripped out. The floor which was rotting b/c of the leakage is gone & the new floor got put down today! I am very excited about this b/c I hated looking at it before. I kept the curtains closed in the LR & didn't drive down that street very often b/c it just depressed me. Today I drove that way on purpose & just smiled! Hope you are having a great week! Tomorrow we are off to St Louis, to take Rachel to the Magic House. She is going on a plane ride with Grandpa (her first) & I am going to drive up to meet them. She always wants to go on the plane with him (he travels with his job) so this is a big event for her ~ me not so much ~ I prefer to keep my feet on the ground & I am not too sure I like the idea of her getting on a little plane ~ but she is not afraid to try things. Good for her! I imagine there will be lots of pics :) I am going to browse over to your other pages ~ keep snapping!
5/31/2010 4:09:24 PM - 002065887734
What a wonderful foxglove photo! I hope there are a few foxgloves left at my Aunt's and I can try to get some new views...you are inspiring me!!! Your photos are so good on this page...and every page! I love the stones with the rain pattern. (I think that is what it is). You can make a wonderful photo out of the simplest things. Your mind is truly seeing things everywhere to find great shots. Your waterfall is spectacular! I am supposed to be paying bills, and packing. I cannot be late to leave on this trip or I will miss my mom's service, so I will look quickly right now. I won't be able to leave many comments, but I just have to see some of your new stuff or I will NEVER be able to catch up when I return. I will miss you, Barb
5/31/2010 5:14:34 AM - 002035648808
I love this page Debbie...Such wonderful pics. Man you are good my friend!
5/30/2010 3:59:50 AM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! Look at your new header pics! Very Cool!! And your water fall ...excellent!! :0)
Hope your having a great weekend!
5/29/2010 10:17:39 PM - 002066991916
Debbie, I love all your header photos the stones, flowers and rock are so vibrant. The camera class field trip are excellent shot. Wow your photos truly impressed me. Two Thumbs Up!
5/29/2010 5:30:06 AM - 001024320926
Love the new headers!! Beautiful!!! Just stopping real fast to wish you a Happy Memorial Day weekend, be safe and enjoy!! God Bless Our Troops!!
5/28/2010 2:54:47 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, Your home page is fabulous!!! Just a treat to visit here and see all that beauty.

So how are you doing today? Hope you have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend Debbie. I'll have to visit next week and see what's new on your site. I'm sure there will be a surprise or two.

Anyway be safe and enjoy your weekend and keep Hunter nearby.
5/27/2010 1:30:39 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, Sorry it's been a little bit, I have been swamped and not working in the regular office. Your field of meeting people and taking their picture would have been a real challenge for me as well. I'm very verbal, with people I know!!, slap me in a out area with strangers and things change a little. Sounds like you came thru though.
I start my online class on June 4th, I have the first lesson already and I have to say it's not easy. There are 4 photo assignments in lesson one. Also because of the kind of camera I have it is assumed that I have a fair knowledge of this and that so they don't start at basic level. I have my work cut out for me. Plus I'm reading the manual too. I did take pictures at my brothers wedding this past weekend, they turned out ok.
Love the new pages, I have the storm pictures for you just let me know where to put them :) Hope all is well.
5/27/2010 2:42:14 AM - 000031826072
Hi Deb! Thanks for the anniversary wishes. We had a fabulous anniversary. We decided to try an Italian restaurant called Luciano's that has a cool story. Mulvane, Kansas woman vacations in Italy and meets her husband there whose family owns a restaurant. The couple moves back to tiny little Mulvane, Kansas and decide to open an authentic Italian restaurant. Since we spent our honeymoon in Italy, we thought this would be perfect. And was it ever....the food was to die for and the wine was pretty fabulous, too, and we're not even big wine drinkers!
I've got to see new pics of Al with no moustache. That is a BIG change after all those years. I bet it does make him look younger.
So has that weather cleared back up for you yet? We've had a lot of storms and tornado activity lately (which is normal for us this time of year.) But this week is in the 80's and mostly sunny.
Any big plans for Memorial Day weekend? It will be the beginning of boating season for us....can't wait!
5/26/2010 3:31:38 AM - 002065887734
Can't believe I missed out on Debbie's Photo Shoot. That is a hard topic and it sure turned out great! Love seeing all the different pics. Did you set the timer on them, or someone help, or both? It turned out great! Guess I can at least make a new icon photo...maybe. I like your book!
5/26/2010 3:28:01 AM - 002065887734
What lovely field trip photos! Your manual settings are turning out great! I grinned at "your favorite". It looks like Aunties Foxgloves. She had some that were as tall as me!!! Really. I think they are lovely too. What gorgeous photos...and then your clouds. WOW!!! I've missed out on a lot & will try to catch up soon!
5/26/2010 2:49:32 AM - 001062713509
great work on your field trip pics Deb!!!
5/25/2010 9:47:26 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie!! I'm just doing a quick drive by...but wanted to say hi...and I'll be back a little lster tonight! I'm trying to get a long past due book done and I'm determined!! ha!!
5/25/2010 2:35:04 AM - 001062713509
thank you so much for all of your help!
5/24/2010 10:54:30 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, my weekend was busy!! I didn't get to check sites or anything until today. I'm still tired, but it was a fun one. My brother got married, it was a total redneck affair but it was pretty and a blast!! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my site :)
Did you and Hunter have any adventures this weekend?
5/23/2010 2:26:21 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, Hope your weekend is going well. Love the header on the home page. Hope you are feeling well and enjoying time with "Hunter". Just wanted to say Hi and I'll come back to explore your site during the week. Take care.
5/22/2010 2:56:01 AM - 001023411097
I had a long comment and it would not post twice so this is short and just wanted to tell you I have been thinking about you and hope you have a great weekend.
5/22/2010 2:55:33 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...Love, love the new headers. Great shots as usual. I am like you, it feels like forever since we have chatted. I am trying to get more sleep these days so I can stay healthy for all my future travels and meeting up with new SF friends :) I do hope that we stop over in Seattle next June. I somehow think that we do, but I will find out for sure. I am going to talk with my travel agent/friend in the next few days and get more details. How cool would that be. I am going to have to check out Alan's Father's day gift. It just caught my eye. I am getting ready to start one for Jeff, Luke's daddy (my oldest son). I might have to steal some ideas, lol! I have tons of editing to do this week-end and things to catch up on. Larry and I are going to try and plant our wildflower garden this week-end, yeah. I hope it does okay! He has a big plot plowed up for it. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Have a great week-end and I'll be browsing around for awhile!
5/21/2010 2:01:43 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks so much for the email & for finding out what kind of flower that was. I was hoping to get a ton of cleaning done but I'm feeling horrible! My sinuses & allergies are acting up so I may go to bed early even though I have so much to do. I am sneezing again like crazy, have a horrible headache, sore throat, & I feel feverish! On top of that I have a super bad backache! Oh...anyways...I replied to your email....I hope you got it. Sometimes when you click reply from the sharesite emails it doesn't go through. Now I got 2 blank emails from you...not sure what is going on! LOL!!!
Going to rest!
5/20/2010 8:26:28 PM - 001024320926
OMGosh!! I just typed out this big ol comment and it disappeared!! Sigh!!
I'm glad to hear that your outting with Hunter went well even though it rained. Yeah, Diego isn't fond of rain either, have to keep him dry :) Will you be posting your lessons and images? Making a page?
The email I sent earlier was the closest I've come to a manual for life. I really liked it and thought it was too good not to share. I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for all the comments on the pictures of the Sprinkler Fun, she makes my day and I had a ball using Diego on her :) I can still hear her squealing as she ran in and out of the water :)
5/20/2010 3:03:35 PM - 002020640084

Oh...& hopefully Sunday I will have time to post my NYC & camping in Ohio photos! :)

The weather was perfect for camping it was upper 60's. I love that kind of weather! We had the cabin right by the lake/pond/water! Not sure what kind of body of water it was! LOL!!! Embarrassed

Any plans for the weekend? How is the weather there? Its just starting to warm up here. Can you believe it snowed on Mothers Day? We had a mild winter & hardly any snow for Buffalo so I kept saying we will probably have snow until Memorial Day. I was close! Who knows what will happen the rest of the month!

 

Do you have plans for Memorial Day? I can't believe it only 11 days away! WOW!!! Where did May go?

5/20/2010 3:00:09 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I love all the new albums & pages! I see you are giving you camera a workout! LOL!

Thanks for checking out my Bermuda page & leaving such awesome comments this week! I enjoyed reading them several times this week.

Yes..I would love to take a cruise to Alaska & that would be amazing if we all went together someday! I would love it! LOL! :)

Camping was so much fun! It was hard just bringing 1 car so we pack only a little bit of food & then went to a Super Walmart when we got there. It was only 20 minutes away. I will tell you about it later I have to go. Talk to you soon!

BEAUTIFUL HEADERS! :)
5/19/2010 5:07:47 AM - 002066991916
Awesome! I love your header photos especially the clouds those are Enormous. Great shot!
5/18/2010 4:40:44 PM - 000031826072
Hi Deb! Look at the beautiful new headers and another new book I haven't seen yet! Woohoo - gotta take a peek.
To answer your question - just open up your book from either the gallery or from your projects and select either the share feature or the "email" feature then you can select email addresses from your Shutterfly adddress book (you have to put all of us into your address book or type them all in) and then hit send. Hope that helps!
5/18/2010 2:34:25 AM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, stopping by to see if you got to do your Photo Field Trip? Hope it was wonderful!!
5/17/2010 3:24:58 AM - 002029331419
Oh...I have my poll up for names for my camera!
5/17/2010 3:24:36 AM - 002029331419
Look at your new headers!!
Are these from your trip!? If not...Hhow was your trip!?! And NOT using just Auto...YOU GO GIRL!!!
5/17/2010 1:06:32 AM - 001062713509
did you go on your class field trip today? where to?
5/16/2010 12:12:01 PM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
I read somewhere that you went to LaConner? Love that town and the whole Skagit Valley area. Hope to return someday!
5/15/2010 5:23:09 PM - 001024320926
Love the new headers!!
5/15/2010 5:22:49 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, I stopped by to tell you that I named my old camera too, her name is Bella :) So now I have Diego and Bella :)
I need to look around it looks like you have new stuff.
5/15/2010 3:52:23 PM - 001062713509
as I mosied on to your other pages, I see that you took these on your birthday weekend. :) They are just gorgeous Debbie.
5/15/2010 3:33:09 PM - 001062713509
oh Debbie your new header pictures are stunning! Are these some you did for your class?
5/13/2010 1:37:37 AM - 001062713509
Maybe Shutterfly will get a live chat feature! Can't you gurus make that happen? You will be fine in your photo class ~ I took one online last summer. Of course I have forgotten it all now, but it was fun once I caught on. You can do it. I am going to go find the book we used ~ it is a great book to have on hand. I wonder if it is the same one you will be using.
5/12/2010 8:11:20 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Popping in here to say Hi and see what you've been up to! Oh yeah...your Camera class! How'd it go? I'm thinking of taking a class with our community college on Photoshop Elements....I'm not happy with having a program - and not have much of a clue as to how use it very much! argh! We'll see!
I hope your having great weather up there...please don't send anymore wind, I've had plenty ! :0)
Have a good day!
5/12/2010 7:25:01 PM - 001062713509
How was your class last night?
5/12/2010 6:24:17 PM - 000031826072
Hi Deb! Hunter is a GREAT name for your camera - love it! I'm sure he will be pleased to get a little variety in his life after you finish your class and take him off autopilot! LOL. Lisa tells me I must name mine, too, so I'm thinking, but have been too busy to really ponder it too much.
Your upcoming historic bridge tour sounds so cool. What fun and what great photo ops!!!!!!!
Looks like you had a great Mother's Day - the new pictures are wonderful!
Talk soon...Ciao!
5/12/2010 12:02:35 PM - 001024320926
How was Hunters class? Going to be fun and you're going to learn alot is my guess. I hope it was awesome!!
5/12/2010 3:08:11 AM - 001024320926
Thanks for the get well wishes, I'm still stuffed headed and sniffley but working thru it. Using all the eye drops, nasal sprays and allergy pills I can stand. Can't take much during the day though, have to be able to think.
Looks like your Mothers Day was wonderful. I love the new pictures you added. I ended up not seeing my Mom but I will be seeing her on the 22nd, that's in a couple weeks. My brother is getting married :)
I hope your sister is doing well after her surgery and has a clean bill of health to go with her scars.
5/12/2010 2:58:13 AM - 002020640084
Oh...I loved the smilebox greeting! Thanks so much! Your such a sweetheart! :)
5/12/2010 2:57:17 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I'm so happy to hear you got spoiled for Mothers day! You deserve it! I love all the Mothers Day photos! You and your mom do look so much alike! WOW!

Rob & Marina made me dinner on Mothers Day! Then Marina made homemade chocolate chip cookies! They were amazing! :)

I started doing my Bermuda cruise page & its coming out really pretty so far! Hopefully it will be done tomorrow or Thursday! :)

Have a wonderful night! :)
5/10/2010 6:27:55 PM - 000031826072

Just stopping to say Happy Mothers Day, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
5/8/2010 9:28:45 PM - 000031826072
Debbie, I was horrified when I realized I didn't make it by to wish you a Happy birthday on the actual day, so I stopped by to offer belated birthday wishes and saw the fabulous birthday pictures featuring my personal favorite....tequila and mexican food!W Woohoo!!!!! Happy birthday, indeed, my friend! It looks like your birthday was wonderful. Then I spotted the new photobooks - wow! I love the one featuring the still young and vibrant Debbie and you finished the magnolia book! I'll have to find them both in the Gallery and comment there as well. GREAT job. Happy Mother's Day! I hope it is wonderful.

5/7/2010 5:01:11 PM - 001062713509
Happy Birthday to you! Stuffy? ~ I never got that impression! Your site is very inviting and easy to get sucked into looking at all the pictures and places. Deborah, Deb or just hey you is fine. It took me a while, but I have grown to like and even appreciate my name. Love your photo shoot ~ 55?! You look amazing & I am sure Alan will love and appreciate it! Talk to you soon ~ have a FABULOUS day! Deborah.
5/7/2010 12:57:00 PM - 002035648808

Eat lots of cake and I'll be back to check on you after work and after my marathon planting. Love, Rhonda
5/6/2010 11:45:19 PM - 002088910291
This book is for my Alan, on Fathers Day! I thought I would do something about this shyness I have of the camera, and get some photos of me before I get to old!! LOL! I am turning 55 tomorrow, so thought this would be a good time, since I needed an updated photo for my new profile!  My neighbor friend took the photos for me, so it could be a surprise, so don't tell him!! LOL!
5/5/2010 11:43:08 AM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, sorry I'm running behind, I'm working out of a different office these past two days and it's kicking my tail. Trying to keep up with my work and doing the other stuff that I'm helping with while I'm there. I only get to play for lunch and that bums me out. Normally I do some in the morning, lunch and after work. What do you do when work starts cramping your style, LOL, at least I'm still laughing :)
That magnolia book is gorgeous, very pretty. Gorgeous flowers. The one that I took at the zoo isn't great, the sun was so bright and it was about 6 feet above me. I'll post it anyway. I will be posting it today. Zoo pictures are going up come heck or high water :)
5/4/2010 7:57:53 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! How's your day been?...Did you have that wind that they showed on my news this morning......wow! It was really blowing!! I watch the ~interesting~ news a little more now...and try to remember where the Sfly Cyber-friends are at ...and hope everyone is ok! I have a cousin in Nashville...lots of their friends have lost their homes..so sad!! Well, the wind WA had yesterday...gets here tomorrow...yuck! Anyway, I hope that it wasn't to bad where you were at!
Just checking on ya! :0)
5/4/2010 5:40:30 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I wanted to stop by to Congratulate you again on becoming a Guru! I'm so excited! I'm so happy for you! You will make a wonderful addition to our team! :)
I also wanted to thank you for all your sweet comments on my Hilton Head page! It made my night! :)

I'm have so much to do since we got back! I had so much fun but missed my kids so much! I would love to take the kids to see Bermuda someday! I know they would love it! I'll tell you all about the trip another day! :)
5/3/2010 7:05:10 PM - 000076738705
Hi Debbie, tell me again what kind of lens you used to shoot the flowers on the magnolia book? I really want to try something like that. Good job!
5/2/2010 5:48:48 PM - 003014306522

Hi Debbie, Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. Hope your weekend has been fun and the weather the way you like it. I hope you are well along with your family. Enjoy your Sunday and I'll visit real soon. Thanks for always coming by to visit my sites and the thoughtful comments to leave me. Take care.
5/2/2010 3:08:21 AM - 002035648808
OH, I love the Srping Walk book. Did you post that one to the gallery also? Have you thought about sending out emails from the gallery. That is a good way for folks to find your book on there. I will send you one of my old ones (photobook) that is. Your spring walk was just gorgeous. I loved the fruit trees and the variety of flowers. Again, you are so creative and have a great eye!
5/2/2010 3:03:45 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...I thought I would bounce over here and look at your Magnolia Book. The internet is messing up this evening due to severe storms and several tornados in our area this evening. Scary stuff. YOur book is fabulous. I just love it. You continue to amaze me with your excellent work. I love how you took a Magnolia Tree and got those variety of shots. Wow, what a creative mind you have my friend. I get stuck a rut most of the time and have a hard time thinking out of the box, lol! I always love your visits. They are so encouraging! I am going to take a look at your Spring Walk book and try one more time to find your book on the gallery!
5/2/2010 2:30:42 AM - 001024320926

Hi there, thanks for visiting my site and commenting on the flower pictures. I know they aren't great but any photo with Kyleigh in it makes me smile from ear to ear :)
I love the new book, it was a lovely walk :) Looks like I need to look at the magnolia book now :)

PS: I hope that your sister is doing well these days.

5/2/2010 1:58:29 AM - 002059460698
Hi Debbie! Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous, and all of your books are beautiful!! I especially like the Magnolia book....Awesome! Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving your comments. I'm going to take some time and look around your site. I hope you're having a great weekend!
5/1/2010 2:17:27 AM - 002081530895
The Magnolia and Spring Walk books are great. The wide variety of shots truely lays open the beauty and intricate details of GODS plan for the flowers. Absolute beauty and put together so well. Thank you so very much. A very good example for all of us.

Love the new book Debbie. Hope all is well. I always enjoy my visits.

Went to the zoo yesterday with Kyleigh and saw a Magnolia tree, I took a picture of one of the flowers but I'm not sure how good it will be, I was pretty far away. I thought all my flower loving shutterpals maight like it :)

4/28/2010 5:28:31 PM - 000031826072
Ddebbie,
First of all, I agree with everyone else - the new headers are AWESOME!
Thanks for stopping by again recently and commenting on the soccer pictures. It is true, that I have been busy and not very good again about making the site rounds. I miss you guys when I get out of the loop like that! I have been a little overwhelmed between work, Jordan's soccer games, and Jarrett's homework/keeping his grades up adventures lately.
I looked at several of your new pages, but need to come back by when I have more time because I didn't get to the Texas page. All of your new stuff is simply inspiring!
I promise I'll make it back by again soon. Hope your week is going great!
4/27/2010 4:07:26 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Wanted to say hi real quick! I'm on the cruise & almost to Bermuda! I can't wait 2 see Bermuda! I love the tulip photos! I got some pretty ones in NYC in Central park! Yours are such an inspiration! AMAZING!!!!
We did so much in NYC! It was so much fun! We want to bring the kids to NYC this year sometime! They would love it! We took a horse & carriage ride in Central Park! We took a ton of tours! Then we spent a day @ Pier 17 & went to see the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island! Talk 2 U soon!
Yes
4/27/2010 2:37:05 PM - 001023411097
OMG DEBBIE I LOVE THE HEADER! HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL AND KEEP TAKING THOSES BEAUTIFUL PICS FOR ALL TO ENJOY. I LOVE COMING BY TO SEE WHAAT YOU HAVE NEW. THANK YOU FOR COMING BY TO VISIT. HAPPY SPRING DAY TO YOU MY DEAR! BARBARAJ IN TEXAS
4/27/2010 12:36:58 PM - 001024320926
I am hoping that naming your camera thing catches on too, it's fun!! Diego is getting frustrated with me for not learning fast enough, I need to get on the stick!! You class is soon to start, May is fast approaching.
4/26/2010 3:19:47 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Wow...look at your new header! Super Color!! Hunter!! That is perfect!! :0)
We are just now getting the color around here. I saw some Iris' blooming yesterday! The tulips are out and even some yellow daffodils too! It's been a crazy April...Some days we're in the 50's ..and some in the 70's and our new trees are just now getting their leaves to come out!!
Ok, just wanted to say hi...and I'll look around some more! Have a great week!
4/26/2010 2:11:29 AM - 001024320926
Ohhhhh my I love the new headers!! Those tulips are to die for! Beautiful.
So you and Hunter have been out and about I see. I think Hunter is a super name for your camera, especially if he's a he :) I was tickled pink when I read that you had named him, YEA!!!
I took Kyleigh to a bluebonnet field for pictures on Saturday and it was wet, super windy and bright but I took them anyway. Some are just ok, there's a couple keepers nothing major though. That's the way it works in the bluebonnets, Mother Nature has her way.
I hope that you had a good weekend!!
4/25/2010 6:19:00 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, As always it is a treat visiting here and love all you newest photos. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Hope your family is well also. I'll visit again as soon as I have a chance. I am having work done on my house this week. So I will sneak in a quick visit here and there...have a wonderful week. Take care.

And enjoy your time with Hunter.  Keep on snapping.  
Smiling
4/25/2010 6:13:21 PM - 000076738705
everytime I visit I see something different-boy I love these tulips. Strong rigid stems and soft beautiful colors...I love it. ! Lots of beautiful new images to see Debbie, thank you for sharing. :)
4/25/2010 3:36:38 AM - 000074469281
LOVE LOVE you new pictures. What a delight to see!! My you are talented! I'll have to look around as its been forever that i have been here!! How have you been? I read below you got a new camera?? Hunter sounds awesome and I agree the perfect name! I got a new camera too! My first DSLR and I'm having a ball w/ it - its not as fancy as yours or Lisa's. But so far after 2 weeks I'm loving it. What happened to your sister? I read something below too - hope all is well!
Sorry its been so long that I visited. Thank u for always dropping by my site! :)
4/24/2010 7:46:18 PM - 002065887734
Debbie, you have changed it again! I really can't be here...we are leaving...but I had to stop by. WOW! These photos are glorious! Double WOW!!! This tulip photo is just spectacular and I don't even remember it! How could I have missed it? Is it new? I love your photos no matter what. I am always amazed when I stop here. Boy will Hunter have fun with a friend like you who is already a genius! Love it, Bj
4/23/2010 10:30:15 PM - 002088910291
I named my camera per Lisa's orders! LOL!! His new name is Hunter, and yes he is a boy, He is always hunting for new pics, so thought that was appropriate! Hunter is a Samsung GX 20 DSLR, who is dying to get off the auto pilot mode, so I am starting my camera class on May 11th! He is so happy that I will be able to change his settings now, he is a mini computer in a camera! He has a good mind all by himself though!!!
4/23/2010 1:07:50 PM - 001062713509
Oh my gosh, your pictures are amazing!! Simply breathtaking. Deborah.
4/21/2010 9:50:41 PM - 002088910291
THank you for all who were concerned for my sister, a quick update, she saw the doctor yesterday, and started her new thyroid replacement medicine, and is doing great after having to have the total thyroidectomy, the doc, says everything looks good!!!!! I am so happy!!!! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!! Deb
4/21/2010 6:16:36 PM - 000085599530
Your headers are beautiful.....:)
4/20/2010 12:31:53 PM - 001076975951
Hi Deb, I'm glad you stopped by and viewed my Botanical Garden book. So glad you liked it. That was a fun day. Hope you had a great weekend. I hope you sister is doing well also. Wishing you all the best.
4/20/2010 3:17:32 AM - 001024320926
Ok now that you have put it out there I will be expecting you to introduce me to your camera by now :) Diego will be excited to hear it!! Your class sounds like a blast!! I would love a photography outting!!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the bluebonnets, there weren't many but I made it work. That butterfly almost killed me chasing it, he was not wanting Diego to take his picture at first but we must have worn him down :)
4/19/2010 5:40:23 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, well I didn't get to go on the Flower trip, long to story ending with me being completely bummed!! I did go looking for some bluebonnets in my area and found a tiny patch, I took a few pictures but only about 5 of them are ok, too bright out side and Diego and I are just learning to know each other :) It did distract me from the disappointment of not going own the trip though :)
I hope that you and your camera had a good weekend taking pictures :)
4/18/2010 1:48:11 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, I hope you are well and that your sister is doing well also. Love all the newest photos, the flowers of course and the mountains. Your header on the home page is just beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful day and I'll stop by during the week. Take care
4/16/2010 2:58:34 PM - 002029331419
Hi Debbie! Well...it'ws always a lot of fun to come by and see what has caught your eye! Your Mountain trip sounds great! I think you were wise to turn around and head back down! yikes! :0) We are getting the itch to get out with our trailer and get into the mountains again...won't be long - things are warming up! I'll be up above Santa Fe this weekend and see what I will find up there!
Have a great weekend! :0)
4/16/2010 4:20:07 AM - 002088910291
Thanks Barbara, Yes the bridge is from the Japanese gardens at the arboretum! And thanks for the compliments! Deb
4/16/2010 3:34:37 AM - 002065887734
I had to come back. I found your Mountain Page #2. Those photos are all so beautiful you shouldn't be allowed to put them on one page! Wonderful, wonderful pictures. Thank you for putting them out for all of us to see!
4/16/2010 2:40:06 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. Love the page. I have been reading the comments and know I have been hear sort of lately. Maybe I reviewed a book...anyway, this page looks GREAT! Is the bridge from your Japanese Garden and The Arboetum? It looks so lovely and those photos look lovely like this. I will check it out again...for the 3rd or 4th time. Those photos from the Gardens and Arboretum are so pretty you can never get tire of them. Going to look around again. I hear you have some new pages from John. He seems to keep up pretty good! Getting info from HIM! LOL!!! It was always the other way around before. Love the bridge & the statuary in the heading. Let us know if the bridge is from the Arboretum, Ok? Thanks, Barbara Jean
4/15/2010 11:20:29 AM - 001024320926
OK I forgot to tell you that I can not stand June bugs!! They scare the tar out of me!! My sons are always catching them and throwing them at me just to watch the dancing thrash that I do getting them off me! It doesn't make any sense but I just can't stand them. Makes me shutter thinking about it.
4/14/2010 11:27:02 PM - 001024320926
I have heard of Chapel Hill but I haven't been there. I am leaving on Friday to South Texas to see all the wildflowers, hoping to see alot of pretty, pretties :) The bluebonnet crop in my area is pitiful and I am super bummed about it. I have to find some to take pictures of Kyleigh in, I may end up at the Dallas Arboretum :)
I hope all is well with your sister :)
4/13/2010 10:55:48 PM - 001024320926
Very glad to hear that things went well for your sister, cancer is cancer it's all scary as heck!! Thought some prognosis' are much better than other, I'm super happy to hear she will recover concer free!!
Going to see the Bluebonnet fields this weekend in South Texas, should be fun and very pretty :)
Coming here is like a nice walk in a gorgeous garden!
4/13/2010 1:26:06 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, I was wondering how your sister is feeling and hope her surgery went well. I send out my best wishes for her. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing her only good days ahead.
4/13/2010 12:09:10 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...I just read Lisa's comment about your sister. I hope all is well for her. I don't know what is going on but it is really odd, because my sister who is 16 months older than me has massive squamous cell skin cancer. They have already removed 20 and have several more to remove. They have made to her deep tissue. I don't know if the Docs know the eventual outcome, but I don't believe it will be good. On a more positive note, the full photo abpve pf the bridge is one of the most creative shots I have seen. Now, I will have to look and everytime I see a bridge or something, I will think of your shot and try to capture it. I think it is cool to look around and "borrow" everyone's ideas. I feel that it makes us better photographers. I can't wait till I learn some stuff and get my act together. Also, the headers on this page are great. Your spring walk book is more than great. It is fabulous. I love the pink and blue sky and the flag. All 35 pages are fantastic. I think I have run out of words to describe your pictures :) You do such a great job. I really do appreciate all your visits to my site. I have been so remiss at visiting with my hectic schedule. It will be slowing down before I know it. I got one case done and give my findings to the lawyer tomorrow and I am about 20 hours from wrapping up the big one. I'll feel like there is a monkey on my back though, until the May 22 deposition on this one. Have a great week and I hope the weather is as lovely there and it is here. It sounds like it has been kind of yucky for the past few days, rainy and chilly ;) Blessings!
4/12/2010 3:31:19 PM - 001024320926
Debbie, I'm so sorry I forgot to mention that I got the comment you had left about your sister. All my blessings to her, I will have you both in my thoughts today and pray that all goes well. Thinking of you!!
4/12/2010 2:26:28 AM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, Your site is always a delight, with all the wonderful color and beautiful pictures! I checked out the Texas page today. Loooove the butterflies and that dragonfly is awesome.
You do a wonderful job with your camera and I'm guessing when you finish with your classes you'll be exceptional.
I hope that spring is being good to you.
4/11/2010 3:00:26 PM - 001076975951
Debbie, This home page is FABULOUS!!! Love the new header and the Pathway photo is perfection. LOVE this page.

 Hope you are well Debbie,  and enjoy your week. God bless.
4/11/2010 11:43:58 AM - 002081530895
Wonderful, Fantastic,Outstanding,Artistic,Skillful,Feeling,Emotional. Did you have new snow in the Campground yesterday?(LYA) Johnny S.
4/8/2010 7:23:01 PM - 001024320926
I walked all thru the site today and as always you have beautiful, beautiful pictures!! Love all the flowers, especially the Magnolia's!!
I added some pictures for you, they pale incomparasion but I thought you might enjoy them.
I got a new camera :) a Canon 7D, I call him Diego, LOL!! Diego and I are going to go out and take pictures this weekend. I'm nervous because I don't want to screw it up, LOL!!
4/8/2010 6:58:22 PM - 001024320926
Ohhh I love the headers!! And the walk way is awesome. You are so gifted with all your pictures :)
4/7/2010 6:15:38 PM - 000031826072
HI Debbie - Just stopping by quickly during my lunch to say hi and look around. I loved Ethan's birthday photos - looks like he had an awesome birthday. Both he and his Dad are such cuties!
Your site is full of gorgeous nature shots, too, LOVE those!
I hope you and yours had a Happy Easter!
4/7/2010 11:22:54 AM - 002065887734
It looks like Ethan had a great day! I know he liked the sprinkles and I sure could tell he loves pizza. I love your Backyard Gardening and Nature's Paintbursh is lovely! I don't see how you work at the pace you do. I have to check out the other books, still. Your site is always full of new books, ideas, and photos. I can't keep up with your new stuff, but love what I see. Thanks for all the new items you share with us.
4/7/2010 5:47:27 AM - 002020640084
I love Ethan's bday album! He's such a handsome boy!
Hope you had a wonderful Easter!
We are in Hilton Head Island, SC & its so beautiful! We are having so much fun! I'll be back next week to check out more of your new albums! :)
4/6/2010 2:53:19 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! Love those GOROGEOUS flower headers! The colors are absoloutely amazing.
I just accidently added a photobook on the Book page under Barbara Jean's section (sorry!) so if you could delete it or move it that would be great! Thanks for the the recent comments on my Easter pics. I always love to hear from you. I'm getting behind visiting sites myself, so I'll be back soon to look around some more. Hope you had a GREAT Easter!
4/5/2010 11:58:23 AM - 001076975951
Love your header Debbie. Just beautiful. And it was a joy to view your Arboretum pictures. I'll return later in the week to explore your scanned photos. Hope your Easter was Happy & Joyful. Love your Spring Walk photo book. Well done.
4/4/2010 8:07:43 AM - 002065887734
Tell Ethan, we wish him a very Happy Birthday!!! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I just saw your comment on the Disney Book. I did the little Blue Book as soon as I got back from Disney World and found Shutterfly. It was the first thing I ever put together in digital and on a computer. (I hadn't even SEEN a digital book before!!! LOL!) When I got the book in the mail, we were ALL so excited. I still love the book. I did the small version, because we were "busted" after our trip, but it turned out great anyway.

I made the other Disney book...with the blue jean paper...at David's request. It was put together pretty much by him looking at his favorite photos and telling me what to say in the book. He was nice, but quite the little director! He knows what he wants!
4/3/2010 1:42:53 PM - 002007678810
You better be careful......if you keep saying such nice things about everybody, they are likely to get inspired and make another book! Seriously, there are so many books I have in my head, and you are motivating me to get off my tush and make them.

Peter
4/3/2010 12:17:52 PM - 002059460698
I feel so badly because I haven't been able to visit any sites lately. My computer is down at home so I'm using one at work right now.

Thanks for visiting my site again and leaving your message. It's always great to see where you've stopped by.

I hope you're having a great weekend. I'm going to try to look around your site for minute before I have to get back to work!!!

Take care!
4/2/2010 11:21:23 PM - 002007678810
Debbie,
Thanks for the kind compliments. I checked out your gallery and you have some incredible photography. Again, thanks for stopping by my book and sharing your thoughts, even if not all of it was your cup of tea!
All the best,
Peter
4/2/2010 5:05:12 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
HAPPY EARLY EASTER WISHES!
Thanks for stopping by my site this week! Your tulip & daffodils are PERFECT! :)

I am off to Hilton Head, SC road trip in the morning! It will take 14 hours & 44 minutes! I will be back on Sunday April 12th late at night! Talk to you soon! :)

4/1/2010 12:47:59 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, love the header shot!! You have a wonderful skill with nature. Love all you pictures!!
4/1/2010 11:41:23 AM - 001023411097
Debbie, hey lady, I love your photos and just enjoy visiting and seeing just what you have captured with your camera today or yesterday. I hope this finds you well and ready for spring. I love the area you live in, you lucky girl!!! I am going to go on a road trip to the Hill Country and Brenham in the next two weeks. Bluebonnets everywhere this year. We have some her, mostly the beautiful dog wood trees and red buds. Also will meet with Connie, Lisa and Jamie in Galveston soon! Can't wait!!! hugs from Texas, bj
3/31/2010 9:23:51 PM - 000074469281
Hey Debbie, i just saw your comment. you are just too smart w/ photography!! Sometime i get macro photos pretty well, and other times its a struggle, turns into a blur! Thanks for addingpics to my other page too. I'll look At them soon.
take care!
3/30/2010 10:07:31 PM - 002065887734
Love your page, Debbie. I am trying to give your books a good viewing and am having trouble with glasses. I will be going to the Gallery and blowing them up and doing a single page viewing...I think I will be able to see them clearly then, even with my old glasses! LOL!!! Growing older isn't fun sometimes...Your books look great. I love the Spring Walk. You have so much close by to enjoy! You show it off beautifully. I am fascinated with DePoe Bay. Your book is full of fantastic views and photos. Pages 30-34 are just breathtaking! I want to find out more about this place so guess I will have fun on the internet. It looks so wild, lovely, and exciting...cliffs and all. I love it. The Seattle Public Market has been a favorite since my first viewing. I love looking at it again and again. I always find new things to see! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful places you visit and for documenting them with your gorgeous pictures!
3/30/2010 3:01:12 AM - 000074469281
Gorgeous page, gorgeous site! Thanks for dropping by. I guess i didn't fool you with my chocolate eggs!! LOL - i showed my nephew the photo on my camera and he thought they were huge so was a bit disappointed when he saw they were little!! I thought it made for a fun photo. Debbie, i just read you are 55! No way. i never would have guessed that - u look great. Not that 55 is old! Keep up your great photography!!
3/28/2010 5:12:42 PM - 002035648808
Wow Debbie..I love your new headings and your daffodil shots. How spectacular they are. You are getting so many great opportunities to take pictures. I must say, I am quite jealous. I did get out for 15 minutes yesterday and took a picture of a daffodil just like the one above and a magnolia tree in town. I hope you are enjoying your visit with your sweet little grandson and having a great week-end. I'll catch up with ya later my friend:)
3/27/2010 4:59:57 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, your new additions are wonderful! The trip back to the Tulip Farm was well worth it. I enjoyed your visit immensely. I have to check up on your new books. You are so active I can't keep up right now. The flowers are outstanding on the Tulip page and the shots of the mountains, the barns, the walkways all integrate together for a wonderful adventure. I love the new additions to this page and of course, I love your header!!! This daffodil photo is one of my favorites. It looks 3-D & I don't even need the glasses. Love "little Debbie" with her bunny. That is so cute and it is great to have old photos! Thank you for all your new additions. I didn't think the Arboretum could get any more beautiful but yet it did. What a wonderful place to visit! You live near some "treasures" of our country and we can enjoy them through your photographs.
3/25/2010 12:22:28 PM - 002059460698
Hi Debbie! I just love all of your beautiful flowers!! Just in case you hadn't gotten an answer yet I thought I'd stop by and tell you how to put music on your site. I went to the WebSite "Playlist.com" and created my music....then I copied the embeded code at the bottom of my list....next I went to my website and where you can add things to your site I selected add "widget".....then I just copied my embeded playlist code in that section. I hope this makes sense to you. It's really simple once you get the hang of it. Hope you have a beautiful day!

Hi Debbie! Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving your comments on my books and pictures. You always leave such complimentary and encouraging words after your visits. I was just looking at your "Favorites" page. What a great idea....I think I may borrow it if you don't mind. (Would you?).....I love the spider web picture. It looks like beautiful little diamonds...just stunning!! Thanks again for stopping by my site. Have a beautiful day!
3/22/2010 9:12:42 PM - 003023884224
Hey Debbie, these are stunning!! I love the way you capture color, shading, and light in such a way that the whole image is very soft and warm. Fantastic talent!! ~Lisa V.
3/22/2010 4:33:32 PM - 002088910291
I can just picture that, it must have been funny, you need to go to the store, and get yourself some flowers!, and enjoy! Hope you get your card today!!!
3/21/2010 10:46:57 PM - 002065887734
Debbie, Thank you so much for your comments all over my site! Sometimes we don't get people checking out the entire site. I appreciate that you saw some of my other pages!

Guess what????? I had some teacup daffodils come up. I had a total of 3, maybe 4 tiny little flowers. THAT WAS MY WHOLE FLORAL SPRING SHOW! This morning when I got up, someone had cut them all and taken them. Wow, I waited so long to get something to bloom and someone took them after they were open for ONE WHOLE DAY! It's so sad, it's pretty funny really. Apparently I am not the only one waiting for Spring. I told someone about another neighbor who got some silk flower violets and put them in her garden bed. We are all pretty desperate for some flowers!!!!!
3/21/2010 6:57:43 PM - 000076738705
Debbie did I tell you I love your floral shots? BEAUTIFUL! thanks for the comments on my animals. I see the world like you, a series of pictures, and you have done a great job capturing the essence in every single shot. :)
3/21/2010 3:03:04 PM - 003014306522
Oh, Debbie! So beautiful. I' m afraid we are still waiting for Spring and all it's glory, here in Michigan! I think next week we will be Blest. In the meantime, thank you for sharing yours!!
3/20/2010 8:29:37 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, I just love all the flower photos it a breath of fresh air. Happy Spring to you. How are you and your family? I thought I'd visit and explore a bit. Have a wonderful weekend and be well.
3/20/2010 5:31:33 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my Bon Jovi pictures. It was a great concert. Tom Petty sounds grat too. I like Tom, but have never seen him live. We used to go to tons of concerts, too, but not so much anymore. We still try to make the really good ones, but it's so expensive now that we are more choosey!
Those gorgeous flowers in your header are so beautiful. I needed that today.l It snowed last night in Kansas after several days of sunny and 60's so it's back to winter for us (at least for today!) Have a great weekend!
3/20/2010 4:19:04 AM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie....How is it going in the beautiful state of Washington? I have been so busy it seems like forever since I have stopped by to say howdy. I tried to get the two pics of my guestbook like you asked and by golly I can't do it either. I guess it will be there after we are both long gone, lol! I hope life is treating you well. Things are still going great on this end. Work is good and I am busy with a legal case. Actually, a little too busy for my liking. It is cutting into my play time, ugh! But, it will be worth it in the end and it is interesting work. I am taking the week-end to see my little Luke and then going to 9 teenagers confirmation on Sunday about an 1 1/2 hour away. It will make for a long day, but I am excited for that these girls thought enough of me to invite me to this very significant event in their young lives. The changes you have made to this page are tremendous. I am longing for the day that my photography is as good as yours. Your pictures are fabulous. I read you brothers comment and it was very touching :) How sweet is that. He is right, the whole world is seeing your talent and you are making so many great friends out there. I think it is wonderful! Have a great week-end my friend :)
3/18/2010 9:10:54 PM - 000074469281
Wow Debbie, hhow gorgeous is this page. I am sorry its been so long that I have visited. How are you? Fargo has some rough spots and some surrounding areas that are a concern for flooding. We had a bad one last year and was hoping we'd get by this year. With all the snow we had and a wet Fall, once the snow melts there really is no place for it to go. For those that are in danger by living closer to the River, they have been sandbagging. We started preparing early on. Its supposed to freeze this weekend which will help the flood from slowing down. I live far enough away from the river where I'm ok. If I'm not, then the whole city would go under.
Have a great weekend!

Hey sister, I am just blown away by your awesome talent and passion for finding just the right subject to photograph. Your talent in photography was evident when you first started years ago, and it continues to get better everyday. This is the first time that I have really looked at your web-site here on shutterfly, and I am so glad that I did. I am excited to see that your talent is finally being seen by the rest of the world. I am so lucky to be able to see your work firsthand. I am sooo proud of you!!!!!!! Love, Dustin
3/18/2010 1:52:00 PM - 001038348079
HEY YOU! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR HEADER! I TOO LOVE YOUR MARKET PHOTOS ON MY SITE! THEY ARE STUNNING! LOOKING AT EVERYONE'S SITES MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I KNOW YOU! OH, I'M GOING TO TX IN MAY TO SEE LISA, BARBARAJ AND JAMIE THEN A FEW DAYS AFTER WE ARE TRAVELING TO AZ TO SEE BARBARAK. HOW EXCITING IS THAT?
3/18/2010 2:49:33 AM - 000085599530
These flowers are incredible. It seem like 3d...I could just reach out and touch them. Hey...You can leave you pictures on mysite... made you a space....:)
3/18/2010 12:42:55 AM - 001076975951
Debbie, LOVE your home page...truly beautiful And a big YES I love your market photos that you shared on Connie's site. It goes to prove that you don't have to go far to capture a great photo op. Love those market pictures. Debbie, my travel site is http://joannectraveladventures.shutterfly.com and my everyday gallery site is http://joannesphotographygallery.shutterfly.com.

Beautiful, beautiful site, full of beautiful, beautiful blooms :) I love it!!
3/17/2010 8:25:52 PM - 002081530895
Debbie, Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Thank you for identifying the lily of the valley bush.They are awesome.
3/16/2010 2:15:46 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Wow!! Look at these beautiful flowers!! Are these in your yard or neighborhood?...They kinda remind me of the flowers we saw in Scotland a few years ago! They are beautiful! You have a very good technique for upclose pics...nice job! :0)
Yes, I am heading to San Diego...next week! So excited! They have Bird of Paradise plants all over and the spring flowers should be out all over most of the city! Nothing is blooming here...but the high was only in the 30's on Sunday. I've seen a few buds on things...but it's going to have to warm up a bit before they come on through!
Oh...and your comment on my Home Page...every so often...I just take everything down...and put new stuff up...so don't be to shocked if it makes you wonder if you've been there before!! haha! Have a terrific day!
3/15/2010 3:33:31 AM - 002088910291
John, first of all thank you for the compliment on my photos, and the clusters of flowers are called, PIERIS, the white ones are called Lily of the valley bush, and then some of the red and white ones are called either, Christmas cheer or, Flamingo! I looked them up in my encyclopedia of plants! They have a strange name I think, and the genus name of them is spelled ERICACEAE, thats all I know about them except that they do like sun or shade! These are in the neighborhood! I have one small white one, but it is not doing very well after 3 years!! It had flowers last year, but not this year!
3/14/2010 10:08:18 PM - 002081530895
As usual your photos areoutstanding and the moisture realy adds to their presentation. If I have some good subjects I take a spray bottle of water and spray them just before taking the picture. That way I can get the affect of morning due and use afternoon or late afternoon light and thereby getting a different effect. What are the red and white clustered blooms? Johnny S.
3/14/2010 4:51:47 PM - 001005878223
Debbie,
Thanks for your feedback on my 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine book. Very much appreciated it. I've been enjoying your website; we obviously respond to similar patterns in nature. If you're interested, links to my photos on the web appear at LeskLittleLyford2010.shutterfly.com. Enjoy.
3/13/2010 9:56:17 PM - 002088910291
Just think though, our pretty spring flowers will be almost gone, and you will still be just starting yours!!! Ours came almost to fast this year!  But I am not going to complain!!
3/13/2010 7:31:05 PM - 002065887734
Your Header is beautiful and you have balanced it so well! This page is so gorgeous, Debbie. You have lovely flowers and you take such good photos of them! It is breathtaking. It is hard to believe there are so many pretty flowers out already and we have nothing here. Guess Spring is delayed around here for awhile! Love your site, and this page is magnificent. It perks me up just looking at it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Spring with us!
3/13/2010 5:20:20 AM - 001024320926
So many beautiful pictures on your site, I took a lovely tour. On Monday I will do my best to remember to come back and pist pictures of the cats, dogs and stormy skies, I have to find what album they're in and the net moves faster at work, that will be a lunch project :)
Glad to hear you are enjoying the first days of spring weather :)
3/13/2010 5:06:26 AM - 001024320926
Look at all the gorgeous, gorgeous flowers in here. Too pretty :)
3/11/2010 1:47:35 PM - 002059460698
Hi Debbie. Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving all your wonderful comments. I LOVE your site. Your pictures of all the flowers are awesome. When I lived in West Virginia I had beautiful flower gardens, but have had NO luck growing since moving to the sands of Florida. I love the way the light shines thru the little crocus at the top and your magnolia blossom is gorgeous...in fact they're all just beautiful. I can't wait to look at the rest of your pages! Thanks again for stopping by mine. Anita
3/10/2010 10:25:21 PM - 002088910291
Thanks a million for the quick response Connie! I will give it a try!
3/10/2010 10:20:09 PM - 001038348079
Real fast, you should be able to right click the photo and then click remove. Let me know if it doesn't work...headed out the door.
3/10/2010 10:19:12 PM - 002088910291
Thanks a lot Tonette, I am glad you like them!!!
3/10/2010 4:43:59 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
Thanks so much for adding so many INSPIRATIONAL photos to my share page! They are BEAUTIFUL! I love them so much!

I really appreciate you checking out my Florida family vacation page! :)
3/9/2010 6:33:40 PM - 002088910291
Thank you John, for the nice comments I would love to see your site, but don't know how to get to it, and I do not like tiptoeing through others sites trying to find others, I feel like a trespasser, LOL!!!!  Maybe i could become a member?  Hope you see this!
3/9/2010 4:12:44 PM - 002081530895
You take great pics. I particularly like, Love, your" Portaits in Ice"and Yuor "Backyard Gardening" in which the colours are so vivid and fire like. BEAUTIFUL.
3/9/2010 12:59:03 AM - 002035648808
Wow Debbie, I love the picture right above me. I don't recall seeing it there the last time I stopped by. I just love your site. I am going to snoop around some and check out your photo's so I can get some fab ideas from you :) I love it when you stop by to visit. You always take your time and look so throughly. Love, love, love it! It gives me confidence. I think I am in love with my new camera. The difference is incredible. I didn't have to edit a thing with the pics I posted. Pretty cool! How is Ethan doing. Does he get to come over often? I sure miss seeing my little guy. It makes me heart sick, I miss him so badly. You should try and post some of the camcorder videos that you have of your Little Ethan on your site. That would be so cool. I catch up with ya later ;)
3/8/2010 9:54:43 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Good to see you stopping by! I had to tell you ! When I met my hubby in San Diego..he was driving a 78 Monte Carlo...kind of a silver blue....but it had a stick in it! Not automatic! We had that car until 1984...traded it in for a truck! haha
At Balloon Fiest last year, there was a Big Classic car show....and those shots are from that! We have a lot of big car shows around here in the spring!
I'm glad you get to start a Photo class!! You'll learn so much and will enjoy the homework assignments too! You need a page for that so we can come see what they want you to work on! :0)
3/7/2010 12:21:07 AM - 002088910291
Thanks Julie, and I hope you have a great weekend too! I know I did , we went to the Seattle washington arboretum today, and walked for 4 hrs, taking photos!
3/5/2010 6:46:20 PM - 000031826072
Hi Debbie! Just stopping by to say I'm sorry to hear about your sister. Prayers going out!
Those new headers are breathtaking!!!! Wow! Your photography class n May sounds awesome. I need to do something like that, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Have a great weekend!
3/4/2010 4:07:32 AM - 001024320926
Love the headers, especially the bottom right photo, sooooo pretty!!
I had to stop by and tell you I'm sorry to hear about your sister, I wish her all the best!! You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for visiting and all the great comments!! I love seeing that you visited :)
3/4/2010 2:26:57 AM - 002065887734
That is super about your class! I bet you will learn so much and have fun doing it, too. I am having trouble with figuring out my manual, so I hope I can get into a class. Your photos are so beautiful! Bet you'll find out you've been using short cuts to get the desired effect anyway.

I'm writing about Tex. He's been at John's while I am working out some stuff here at my place. He is doing great, but due for a check up. He might always have weak lungs due to the pneumonia (we are really, really, really lucky to have him. another vet heard the blood counts and stuff and said, "and he's living?") but if we go to a different vet we just have to let them know. They will use a different anesthesia for him if he ever needs surgery again. I'm hoping he is ok enough to get his shots. He is the funniest thing I have seen in a cat. He just struts around and then is so kind and gentle. He even got Moppet to like him and she hates cats. She doesn't think she is one. When Tex had been in the hospital for so long we were isolating him in the bathroom when he came home, because he was still deathly ill. Moppet jumped down and ran to him and licked him, and checked him over, and rubbed noses. (Just what I need. 2 sick cats.) John and I stood there and gaped at her. She had been worried and she adores him...but at a distance. Only 2 head bumps. He keeps going for the third and she runs away & gets all regal again. He just mows you over with his exuberance and zest for life. His little tail sticks straight up. I'm going to get a photo. It had been so lovely and now it just sticks up in the air while he struts around. I didn't want him. I didn't know he had gone tame. One night John said, "Boy that little orange cat likes you." I hadn't noticed at all. The next night when I came in he followed me in and settled in immediately. He came over and let me pet him & got on my lap!!! This was a feral cat who had never been touched by a human. He is so special! Thank you for asking.
3/4/2010 1:12:47 AM - 002088910291
Guess what!! I finally signed up for that photo class I wanted to take! It is mainly a class to teach us how to use all the extras on our SLR cameras! I can't wait! It starts on May 11th!! Wish me luck! I need it!!
3/4/2010 1:09:22 AM - 002088910291
Hi Joanne, I need to find your site! I would love to visit, will look tomorrow!! Thank you for the compliments!
3/3/2010 3:14:15 PM - 001076975951
Hi Debbie, Just stopping by to say HI!!! And of course to explore your site to see what's new. LOVE the home page, just beautiful. The flowers bring joy and peace. Thanks a bunch for sharing. I hope you are well. have a great day and I'll see you on the sites.
3/3/2010 3:49:37 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
By the way, thanks so much for stopping by my site & leaving so many sweet comments! I love all the photos you added to my share page! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! :)
3/3/2010 3:37:04 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
We just got back yesterday from our trip to Orlando & we had so much fun! My laptop is up to it capacity for uploading so I had to delete over 900 photos so I could upload 1 of my memory cards from the trip! Then I cropped those ones! I will upload them to Shutterfly tomorrow! Then I have to delete a bunch more photos off my laptop to get the other ones on there! I can't believe our vacation is over! I wish I had more photos but Joe & my brother would get frustrated & complain if I stopped to take photos! Then my camera was acting up! My camera is junk!!!! Very frustrating! I was looking at the photos & tons are blurry!Anyways, I'm hoping I have some decent ones to add to my site & to make a book! Talk 2 U soon! :)
3/2/2010 11:45:16 PM - 002088910291
Mary, Thanks for stopping by to check out my site, it's not fancy, but it will have to do until I fiqure a few more things out, like how do these people know how to do all this stuff!!! Stop by any time!
3/2/2010 10:33:40 PM - 003005556080
Debbie:

What an amazing site. You wrote me a few weeks ago regarding a photobook, the catskill mountains. We don't live up there all year round but I wish I did. Thanks for taking the time to share you comments. Last week we got 5 feet of snow up there! Keep snappin.
Mary
3/2/2010 9:15:21 PM - 001024320926
Ohh look you've changed something up. Your site is wonderful. Thanks for all the great comments on my site, it's treat to see you have visited. I have been swamped at work and Kyleigh was with us last week, she keeps me hopping, I usually can't get on the computer while she's around.
I'm headed to look around a little :)
3/2/2010 5:23:55 PM - 002029331419
Hey Debbie! Stopping in for a look around...you've changed things up a bit! :0)...it's funny how we do changes and add new stuff...I love it! Your big pic above is really nice...looks like you have a new picture for some note cards! :0)
Going to go take a look around!! Have a great day!
3/2/2010 5:39:42 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, had to tell you. On my Thanksgiving Page, I just noticed that the Christmas Gingerbread House is an EASTER GINGERBREAD HOUSE we made one year! I was exhausted to miss that one! LOL!!! (It was cute at Easter though!)
3/2/2010 5:11:39 AM - 002065887734
Debbie, I stopped by to say I didn't know I had Christmas music on. I'm behind in reading my comments. Thanks for the "heads up". I'm laughing. Maybe by July 4th I'll get it changed. Wish me luck!

Well, I checked my page out...I thank you for the compliment that it is laid out nicely, but it is parts of 3 pages. I messed it up when I changed my Home Page, I guess. I don't know if I need to fix it though if I'm going to get compliments. I'm enjoying the music, too! Thank you for your note or I would have never known.
3/2/2010 5:10:06 AM - 002065887734
Hey, Debbie and Joey! That photo of John Sauers below was taken by David, my 8 year old grandson. I haven't taken a photo of John that looks that good, so we're using a little boy's photo! LOL
3/1/2010 7:51:22 PM - 000074469281
Yep, you are still on my site list. Not sure what happened....weird! Oh my gosh I can't believe you got those photos below from outside today. Gorgeous photos - love your site and I'm sorry i haven't been around.
3/1/2010 5:09:13 PM - 002081530895
You have outdone yourself again. Your photos are very well done eh. Beautiful!!!!!!!
3/1/2010 3:26:42 PM - 001038348079
Hey there my friend. Wow...I love the photos above! I'm so glad you are a part of the Shutterfly family now! I love to see your photos! Just beautiful!
3/1/2010 12:55:51 PM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...I thought I would stop by this morning before work and say a quick howdy. Have a great week and I miss talking to you too :)
2/28/2010 4:16:27 PM - 002065887734
Debbie, got carried away but all those wonderful plants were when I lived in Charlotte. We sure don't have them in Ohiol
2/28/2010 4:03:09 PM - 002065887734
Good morning, Debbie! Have fun with your class, but I don't know if you need it or not so I'm not going to kick you in to gear. You are ahead of Charlotte, NC in your flowers! That is considered "South" and we had beautiful azeleas and camillias out by early April or late March. You are ahead of that!!! UNbelieveable! You are so lucky. I did not buy that container of creme puffs because I was afraid I wouldn't have any to take to the dinner tonight. Really. That's how much I like them...and I'm just giggling away in the store. They weren't on our list, but poor John pulled up some little eclairs by the same company to show me. I said "no, but thank you" & giggled a bit more. That's where some of these catering places get their great desserts!

I guessed right on a few of your plants, but I couldn't believe they would be out already! We had the most heavenly camelia bush (really a tree. It grew almost up to the roof of the house) at the end of our home. It had wonderful white blooms and pretty pink blooms so someone must have grafted it at some point. The camelias were not as big as peonies, but were lots bigger than most camillias I've seen. It was gorgeous down there. First the camillias, cherry blossoms, & apple blossoms. Then the azealas, oh my! We had a dogwood at our second house that was much higher than two stories and just full of blooms. We had a horticulturist visit for the weekend once and he said that it couldn't be a dogwood. It was also wild & usually they don't have as many blooms. this tree was covered & he said it had to be really, really old. Gary cut down a wisteria with a chain saw, because he thought it was a weed & our neighbor was so upset. She said it was close to 80-100 years old. I did love the flowers there. The magnolias lasted foreever...into early summer. There were so many blooms, it was much prettier than DC in the spring!

I'm hoping to take the spring session of photography at the University of Cincinnati branch out here. Just a beginning photo class. I can adjust some on my camera & need to know how to do that, plus it wouldn't be bad to know how the "real cameras" work. Things look beautiful here, so will check it out. Bye for now. Hope you have a super day!
2/28/2010 3:17:08 PM - 003014306522
Good Morning, Debbie. Thank you for your comments on my site. It truly is a priviledge to be able to have SF and meet so many wonderful people. AND see such amazing photo's of the world. Places I would never otherwise get to behold. You are amazing.
MJC
2/28/2010 2:12:40 PM - 002088910291
Good Morning everyone! Have fun looking at all the new stuff, on everyones sites!!!!
2/27/2010 5:18:45 PM - 002088910291
WOW! Tell Mirranda for me that she should never be afraid to post her books! The one I saw was gorgeous! Very talented!
2/27/2010 4:08:27 AM - 002035648808
I forgot to tell you that Luke is doing great. I haven't heard from my sister or Lexy's mom this week but no news is good news from that part of the country. Lexy's parents are moving back to Kansas City since Josh is getting ready to be deployed to Afghanastain in a couple of weeks. Tracy, Roy, and Josh's mom are going to help her with Little Lexy. I worry so much about that little Angel. Thanks keeping up with her and keeping her in your prayers. She certainly could use all the intervention possible :)
2/27/2010 3:56:49 AM - 002035648808
If you tell me that all of these flowers on your headers are already blooming in Washington I am going to croak! My poor jonquil stems will probably turn black because of the unusually cold Feb. we are having, yikes. I am really green with envy :) Gorgeous phots by the way and I am not sure why you really are taking a class. Your photography is spectacular!
2/27/2010 3:54:28 AM - 002035648808
It's me again, LOL! The photo book that you just looked at is actually one that my son Jason's girlfriend, Mirranda made of their first year of being together. I will pass on the message to her though. She is a bit to shy to post her own books yet, but she is marvelous at it. This is only her 2nd book.

How did you guess that I might be on SF. I actually just signed in and was getting ready to do some work on my middle son Jason's page. Yes, Debbie get to school and learn that camera, LOL! This has been a very hectic week for me. I am going to look around your site some and will get back with you!
2/27/2010 1:51:30 AM - 002088910291
Also, please all members of this site, kick me in to gear, to go Monday to sign up for the community college class about how to use all the features on a SLR camera, I need to learn how to use my camera!!!!!!! Go ahead, kick me in the butt! Get me going!
2/27/2010 1:43:34 AM - 002088910291
Yeah, Barbara Jean, you would have eaten them my now, I know I'd love some right NOW!!!  And yes that is a Magnolia tree, and a camellia bush in my neighbors yard!
2/27/2010 1:25:47 AM - 002065887734
You've changed your photos and they are even prettier...however you did that! (Should be impossible!) The white flower is wonderful, but am not famililiar with it unless it is maganolia (a off brand type. like we get in Ohio, not like down South.) Is that pink flower a camilia? It might be a double azelia, but looks like the camilias we had in Charlotte...we had red, pink, and white. I have so much fun on your site...I should call it "Guess the Flower!" Your flowers are just beautiful and all we have to look at is melting "sludge". I got my stuff done this week & just have to let the 'big-shots' do their thing. At least I followed through!!! Today no one in the complex had water. They had let us know yesterday.

The gentleman next door passed away & I feel so sorry for his wife. She pretty much depended on him for everything. We are having a dinner after his sevice so I wanted to be sure to bring a bit in case some of the people don't bring anything. (We have a lot of older people here.) John took me to a restaurant supply place that has wonderful lasagna. (I don't cook yet, on principal.) Actually, I don't stand for long yet & didn't want to overdo...I have to wash what I dirty up. Then I got a wonderful turtle brownie. Couldn't resist. and instead of breadsticks or garlic bread I got French rolls (I love these) and will also have some garlic butter along with the plain. John said "that's it" I was going to do au grautin potatoes, but the food really adds up. I wasn't able to do anything for mom (my sis didn't want anything) so guess I went a bit overboard here. The couple have been so nice to me. When they didn't see me out or could tell I had bronchitis, they would send over homemade soups, and special food to make sure I would eat...just very nice to me. I will miss him, & bet she moves in with family.

I want to look at your pretty flowers now that I've filled you in on all going on here. Even going out to purchase the stuff was more than I usually do, so I'm building up my strength again! Yeahy!!!!! One for the good guys!!! Hope you are well and cannot believe what is passing before my eyes to the left. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Such beautiful flowers. You are blessed. Hope you have a nice weekend. OH I FORGOT!!! First thing I see in the dessert fridge part are the creme puffs...the exact same brand! It was so, so hard to keep walking. They were ar a better price here, too. I thought of you and started laughing. I mean laughing! Told John it was a private joke. (Most people don't laugh at the sight of creme puffs, you know.) They looked so good!!! I kept walking, because I know where the "extras" would end up...or even if there would be any to take by Sunday! LOL!!!
2/26/2010 12:53:10 AM - 002088910291
I must get to my photo book reviews in nature, I am so behind!! But been so busy! Will catch up tonight!! Bye for now! Everyone have a great weekend!
2/26/2010 12:51:34 AM - 002088910291
Jaclyn, Thanks , also for the nice comments, and for stopping by, come again soon! Your site is just starting like mine did a few months ago, one page, you will see how soon it will grow! Thanks again!
2/26/2010 12:49:14 AM - 002088910291
Thanks for stopping by Joanne, and saying HI! I missed my snow this year, but feel for those stuck so long in it!!! That would be hard! Hope you have a nice weekend, and stop by soon!
2/26/2010 12:07:20 AM - 002030890961
I love all the flower pics. Your work is really beautiful.
2/25/2010 3:27:49 PM - 001076975951
WOW!!!! Amazing header Debbie. I just love it. How are things going? Just stopping by to say Hello and have a look around.

I long for spring and to see flowers like the ones you have here on your site make me happy.   At least your flower pictures cheer me up. We are having snow again and expect about a foot.. 21 more days till spring.

Do you have any plans for the weekend? As of now I have no plans but if I have cabin fever I'll have to go out and do something. Thanks for always sharing you beautiful photos with us. take care Debbie.
2/24/2010 11:10:18 PM - 002065887734
Hey, Debbie. That's not fair!!! (but it is really funny!) Thanks for the photo! I just can't look at it too often....David and Lisa are going to hear about this!
2/23/2010 11:44:22 PM - 001024320926
Debbie thanks for posting your great pictures on the showcase page :)
I loooove the headers, your pictures are wonderful :)
2/23/2010 7:40:52 PM - 002065887734
Having so much fun looking through your site. I found Mt. Pilcheck last night while looking for your marketing book. Loved it! The book was just beautiful...and loved it when you found Site 4...2 in one. That's what we always looked for...the best site possible. Your parents taught you well. Love the photo of your mom & dad at Christmas, and of your son, Aaron. (sp?). Your header is great & I've never seen pussy willows that close up! Fantastic! Enjoyed looking at some new photos on "Family" page. Your page is so neat! I'm jealous of the grass & flowers. Have lots of fun with them before a rain hits. (But then new types will be coming up...so don't dispair.) Love your site. So glad I found it. p.s. I hit the edit button as soon as I finished. Your Portraits in Ice is so beautiful it gave me chills (not from the subject, but from the beauty.) The details are amazing and just so very, very lovely. I tried a few this winter, but just got blurry pictures. As the Bulgarian lady who is the commentator on the Olympics would say, "Bravo, bravo!"
2/23/2010 3:07:35 AM - 002088910291
Jamie, Thanks for stopping by my site, feel free to come anytime!! I know, it seems like we have so many opportunities for photo shoots here, I feel blessed to live here, even though there are many other states I would love to visit also!!! Every once in a while I see a photo that looks exactly like the Skagit Valley on some ones site! I always recognize our mountains!!!
2/23/2010 2:17:01 AM - 002025703401
Hi Debbie!
I've seen you around on Lisa and Jean's sites and thought I would check out your beautiful photos. I fell in love with Washington in April 2008 at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. We hope to return again in the future. :)
2/23/2010 12:42:05 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, That was so sweet of you!! I looked last week and you were booked up! I will take advantage of this!!LOL!!! Seriously, thanks again! Deb
2/22/2010 7:38:37 PM - 001024320926
Debbie, thanks for the great comments on my site. I was so busy this weekend not time for anything!! So hopefully I'll be online some today and tonight. I have made a section for your beautiful pictures on the Showcase page if you would like to add some pictures to it :)
2/22/2010 4:39:55 PM - 002088910291
Mary Jo, Thanks for the compliment!! I bet it is still really cold and snowy in michigan!! Hope spring comes for you soon!!!
2/21/2010 1:48:26 PM - 003014306522
GORGEOUS, Debbie! Flowers and outdoors are two of my favorite things in the world. And I love photographing them, and yours are splendid! Especially in the doldrums of a Michigan winter in February. Thnak You!
2/20/2010 2:03:26 PM - 002020640084
WOO HOO! Look how pretty all the flowers look on your home page! Just stopped by to say Hi! We stopped in South Carolina & just have 5 1/2 hours to get to Orlando, FL! I will talk to you soon! Have a fabulous week! :)
2/20/2010 3:28:38 AM - 002035648808
Wow Debbie...I love your headers..they are fantastic. Thanks for stopping by and all the sweet comments. Work has been hectic, but I am getting into the swing of things again. I have stayed at home for the last 11 months and got a little on the lax side :) I really do enjoy seeing all your comments. It is so nice that you have taken the time to stop by so many of my pages and leave comments. I am just about to have shutterfly withdrawls. I might need rehab in the next couple of weeks. I only get to spend about an hour each evening looking at emails and such. I have to get up at 4:30 to be at work by 7:00 A.M. It is a 55 minute drive one way to my job. I am exhausted in the evenings. I am going to try and stop by everyone's site on the week-ends and work on mine on the week-ends. I love seeing all the spetacular photography out there. Now, back to the pictures at the top of your page...These surely aren't blooming now are they, because if they are, I am soooo jealous! Ooops, I just read your comment to the side and I am JEALOUS AND GREEN WITH ENVY:( I was excited with the green stem of a jonquil two days ago, LOL! Have a great week-end and keep those spirng pictures coming :)
2/19/2010 3:14:52 AM - 002088910291
I posted a new book to the shutterfly gallery called SEATTLE PUBLIC MARKET, it is in the travel U.S. category. Alan, and I went there this Monday, since he had the day off for Presidents day, we had a blast! It is a very fun place to visit!
2/18/2010 5:10:55 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie> I'm way behind on checking my sites. I ususually do it daily...or more. I am an Olympic fan, don't have tv so have found The Bulgarian National Television Network.I am watching in Bulgarian and French with NO commercials, so it is keeping me busy. (Please don't tell NBC. They will block this channel, too.)

Wanted to let you know I appreciate you visiting my sites that don't get lots of attention. Lisa was so cute at Disney. David wouldn't leave the computer, I couldn't go up the steps because they had not started me on my new meds which would have made me a bit more flexibe, & Lisa wanted in the shark. Later she said, "Mom I was thinking about asking one of the kids to act like they were mine, but didn't want to get into a problem with a parent!" I was so proud that she did what she wanted!!

That cat was Bennys sons and girlfriends. She also wore a party hat! She was highlighted in one of Americans Funniest videos or compostion tape. I was so glad Benny added her! We have a celebrity!!!
Thanks for all. I'm pretty "into" the Olympics (and have had dr. apts.), but will try to keep up with you anyway.
2/18/2010 5:01:12 AM - 002029331419
Hi Ya Debbie! I've seen you around on some of the sites and so thought I'd drop by toningt and
check out your site! You sure live in a beautiful area...and I love your sunsets...but Your Mountains! Awesome! We are still going to get a little more winter here in the southwest...but it didn't stop me from getting some sunflower seeds at the store tonight! ha! I always have to get the hot and dry kind! :0)
Fun looking around...and if you see a big brown dog on your Pet page...she's mine! :0)
2/16/2010 9:09:33 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, sure I would love to add a few pictures to your showcase, just let me know how, I am still trying to find my way around here. Every once in a while I get the nerve to try something, and sometimes it works, and other times, NO!!! I just don't want to mess up anyone else pages!
2/16/2010 1:26:48 AM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, sorry it has taken me some time to get here. Texas had a big ol snow storm, knocked our power out for 24 hours. We definitely aren't use to that much snow,it was fun taking pictures though :)
I love that you added you weather icon to my guestbook page, too fun. I have a showcase page and was wondering if you would like to post a few pictures there? Let me know and I'll set up so you can add pictures :)
I loved that you said your sons are good looking :) I bet they are too. Rider is handsome and if you need to hear it just ask him :):):) He cracks me up.
2/15/2010 11:44:52 PM - 002088910291
Yeah, We actually do have flowers blooming, it seems like last year started like this, and then in March, we had a foot of snow the first whole week if I remember right!!! It's fun to buy bouquets in the store and take photos,!! It is great for frustrated photographers!!! Plus, it's good practice for the spring!!!  I hate to think of all of you stuck in the snow yet, almost all my shutterfly friends!
2/15/2010 5:03:16 PM - 002088910291
Tonette, Thank you for all the compliments!! Have the best time ever!
2/15/2010 4:56:33 PM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I hope you had a perfect Valentine's Day! I loved your tulip album! I will be leaving on Thursday so I may not be able to check out everyones sharesites until Feb. 28! I will miss everyone & will take all the inspiration with me! I will be thinking of everyone while I'm on vacation! Have a marvelous week! :)
2/15/2010 12:27:30 AM - 002035648808
Wow Debbie, your pictures just fasinate me. I was very touched by your kind comments on Lexy's book. You'll have to stop by my site and look at her page that I have created for her. Unfortunatley, her seizure condition will only get worse with time. There is an 85% chance that she will not make it until 18 years of age, but with new medications being developed in Cananda, and lots of prayers and interventions we hope and pray that she does beat the odds. She is a little fighter. Right before Christmas she had a seizure in the bathtub and slipped under the water with her daddy right there. He had enough training and forsight to grab her and immediatley do CPR to clear her lungs so that an infection wouldn't set up and cause more horrible seizures. She has been on a ventilator 3 times this past year due to 2 hour seizures. I am so sorry for your loss. I couldn't even begin to imagine what you and your poor family went through! It is so nice being able to get to know you through SF. Isn't it fabulous, all the new friends that you meet! I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Valentine's Day. I am SO jealous of your flowers. I don't think winter will ever end in MO!, ugh. Have a great week and God Bless!
2/14/2010 7:01:44 PM - 001038348079
Thank you so much for my valentine flowers (hee hee) OMG.....you have flowers blooming? I want to come visit! I guess I'll have to just buy some. We are suppose to get snow today.
2/14/2010 4:27:00 PM - 002088910291
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL MEMBERS!!!!!! MY VALENTINES FLOWERS TO YOU ALL, ARE IN BOUQUET FLOWERS!!!
2/13/2010 7:12:44 PM - 002088910291

Your photos are a "Ray of sunshine in a stormy dark sky".
2/12/2010 1:54:11 AM - 002081530895
I love your Spring is here. Great
2/12/2010 1:52:16 AM - 002081530895
Thank you for accepting me as a member. I am new to this computer stuff, but I am trying. i have a large quantity of photos and my interests "cover the waterfront" so to speak. I have to type poke and peck so I am a bit slow and as a result my comments might be short. So far I like what I see. What are your Photographic goals? If i might be so bold as to ask. Thanks again.
2/12/2010 1:28:48 AM - 002065887734
Well, I had your dogs up and running yesterday & today I looked and they were back down in the corner in a little "book". I have them up and running in a featured album display. I will watch and see what happens. Thank you so much for putting your dogs on! Do appreciate it so much. Hope you had fun exploring my site. Look as long as you want and as often as you'd like. Going to get some housework finished and trying to get to bed early tonight. I'm tired & trying to build up my energy levels again. Thanks for everything!
2/9/2010 10:18:33 PM - 002081530895
You take my kind of photos. Great. I would like to be asked to be a member. Thanks
2/9/2010 8:35:24 PM - 002065887734
Hi, Debbie. My permissions let anyone put stuff on. I also have "pictures" and 'one photo' at the bottom for albums or single. I tried to move Robin & the dogs but will not move. I think Shutterfly might be overloaded right now. I will keep checking this afternoon, since I'm snowed in here in Ohio. Thanks for adding & trying to add. You don't know how much that's appreciated!
2/9/2010 4:01:00 AM - 002065887734
Your photos are almost beyond belief in their beauty. I love the header. The large photo below it is extraordinary. I have had a little bit of time to look around, but not nearly enough! I love your site. (I added some pictures, but cannot compare with the beauty and drama you have here on your site.) I have found a new area of our country I would like to explore. Thank you for your site. It will bring enjoyment to many!
2/8/2010 7:59:56 PM - 002088910291
Thank You Tonette for the pictures, I will look at them in a little while, I have to rest my eyes!LOL!!! Have lots of fun at the party!!!
2/8/2010 7:53:42 PM - 002020640084
Debbie
It finally worked & I added some sepia favorites of my nephew Mason! Its Mason's 3rd birthday today! My brother Vinny is having his bday party @ Chuck E. Cheese on Friday! I can't wait! :)
Then I added a few winter favorites! I have tons of flower photos but haven't really cropped bouquet photos! I will take a look and see what I have!
Have a PERFECT week! :)
2/8/2010 3:48:56 PM - 001076975951
HI Debbie,
how are you doing? Hope you had a lovely weekend.

I hope you enjoy the journey of taking your sunset photos and you'll share with us.   I just love your Spring Is Right Around the Corner photos. Just beautiful. My favorite are the flowers and scenery.   I'll visit later in the week to see what is new here. be well.
2/7/2010 11:57:19 PM - 001024320926
Hi Debbie, thanks for stopping by. My home computer crashed about a week ago so I brought my laptop home for the weekend just to visit the sites :) Your pictures are wonderful!! I love the mountains, they're just insane beautiful!!
Your area of the country is gorgeous, a fest for the eyes :) and I see you have an appetite for all of that beauty too.
Lovely site!!
2/7/2010 3:39:50 AM - 002020640084
I love all the new albums you posted! Smiling
By the way, I'm so glad you enjoyed my Christmas miracle journal entry! Pleased
2/7/2010 3:13:31 AM - 002020640084
ugg!!!! My computer acts weird sometimes & won't let me add photos! I tried again with no luck! :(
2/7/2010 3:10:42 AM - 002020640084
Debbie,
I was just in the gallery & came across your camping book! I LOVE IT! I'm so glad you made a book with those PRICELESS photos!
Thanks for stopping by! Oh, I can't wait to see the poppies in your garden!
I have tried at least 8-10 times to add photos to your share page but its not letting me! I'm going to try again right now!
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
2/5/2010 8:02:33 PM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie..thanks for stopping by. I have 3 children. Jeff-27, father of Luke and engaged to be married to Luke's mommy next fall after he graduates from Paramedic/firefighting school, , Jason-24, has a girlfriend Mirranda, , and my daughter Janna-19, in college and has a boyfriend named Allen. Both boys are licensed massage therapists. Janna has changed her major from Physical Therapy to Speech Therapy.

Be prepared for a pop quiz, LOL, next Friday at this time. If you are anything like me, It will take you months to put faces to names. I am just now getting my new SF family's names and grandkids learned and about the time I think I have it mastered, I make a new friend, LOL! Let me know your family tree when you have the time. I am so happy to learn that you made a photo book for your mom and dad with those phots. It made my day to read that. Do post it. I bet it is fantastic. I will have to look for it on your site afterwhile, but I have to get to town and do some errands. It is starting to snow pretty hard here and we live in the country, ugh. Catch up with you later and have a fabulous week-end!
2/4/2010 8:42:28 PM - 002035648808
Well, I might have got a little carried away Debbie. Not only did I add tons of pet pics, I also added three photo books, and grandkid pictures. If it is overwhelming, please feel free to remove some of them, LOL! I do have a tendancy to get carried away with my favorite subjects :) I love your site. It is awesome ;)
2/4/2010 8:00:08 PM - 002035648808
Hi Debbie...Thanks so much for stopping by my site and looking around some. I just counted and didn't realize I was up to about 20 pages. I really don't know what to do with my site to condense it. Oh, well, I can't believe I had trouble starting it in the beginning. It is growing faster than I can keep up with it, LOL! I hope your father is doing okay. It is good that you are getting to spend as much time with him as possible. My dad has been gone for 5 going on 6 years. It is really tough without them around! It has been hard on my mom. We feel as if we lost him way to soon. I just love your site. I am going to go in search of your pups and try and leave some pics of my little rascals. They are our empty nest cure, LOL!
2/4/2010 5:18:50 AM - 002088910291
THANKS TONS FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS!! IT REALLY BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE, THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHUTTERFLY HAS DONE FOR ME!!! PLUS, YOU GET TO MEET OTHERS WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS, FROM NEW PLACES, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!!! DEB
2/3/2010 5:33:14 AM - 002035648808
Debbie, I am in awe of your photobooks. I love the vivid colors. The first four are fabulous. I will have to come back and explore the other ones. Your photography is simply amazing!
2/3/2010 5:27:38 AM - 002035648808
I love your headers Debbie. I too, love growing flowers and taking picutures. I have a one year old grandson, our first and so proud to be a firstime Grandma! I love that you got your grandson his first camera. It will be so fun if he takes an interest like his Grandma in photography. What fun the two of you will have ;)
2/2/2010 9:42:03 PM - 001024320926
May I add your site address to my shutterpals page so that others may visit?
2/2/2010 9:41:20 PM - 001024320926

2/2/2010 5:22:01 PM - 002088910291
Yes I did get the canvas print's on sale! It is still on thru today Feb. 2nd. It was a great deal with all the shipping costs I saved, on top of the sale on the canvas prints, can hardly wait to get the next ones, they are suppose to be here tomorrow!!!! I hope they have this sale again, I will spread the word about how great they are, instantly ready to hang! No framing, or other things, like picking out matting and such! Deb
2/2/2010 2:38:39 AM - 002020640084
THE CANVAS PRINT SOUNDS AMAZING! I HAVEN'T EVER ORDERED A CANVAS BUT ITS GOOD TO KNOW IN THE FUTURE! DID YOU GET IN WHEN THE CANVAS WAS ON SALE?
2/2/2010 2:36:03 AM - 002020640084

DEB,
WOW! HOW COOL I HAVEN'T EVER SEEN A

WINTER FLOWER! Surprised WELL CROCUS FLOWERS PEEK OUT OF THE SNOW IN BUFFALO NY IN THE SPRING! LOL! THE HELLEBORUS IS SO PRETTY!:)

http://robtonettejoemarina.shutterfly.com/

I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO BECOME A MEMBER! HAVE A GREAT WEEK! :)

2/1/2010 9:27:05 PM - 002088910291
Tonette, Thanks for taking time to comment on my site, and pictures. The little flower you liked is called a Helleborus, they come out in the cold, and come in different colors, purple ,green rose yellow and white. The picture of the sun coming out of the dark clouds, I had made into a canvas print 24x36. It turned out gorgeous, the colors were exactly like the picture! I highly recommend trying a canvas print sometime! Got to rush off... Deb
2/1/2010 7:43:52 PM - 002020640084
DEBBIE,

TONETTE, SO GLAD FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS, AND FOR THE TIME IT TOOK TO LOOK AT ALL THE PICS AND NEW STUFF I HAVE! YOU ARE VERY KIND HEARTED!!! THE TULIP PHOTO, YOU ASKED ABOUT, WAS TAKEN WITH MY OLD FILM CAMERA, I PUT THEM IN A VASE, AND TURNED THE LIGHTS LOW. THEY WERE RED AND YELLOW TULIPS, AN EXPERIMENT GONE RIGHT! I HAVE A SAMSUNG GX, DLSR! I LOVE IT, EXCEPT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE ALL THE FEATURES IT HAS!! I NEED TO TAKE A HANDS ON CLASS, TO LEARN IT ALL! RIGHT NOW IT IS SET TO GOOD OLD AUTO BUTTON!!! I ALSO DO HAVE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 7, BUT HAVE NEVER USED IT YET!! ANOTHER THING I NEED TO LEARN. I AM LUCKY TO GET AROUND ON MY COMPUTER, AS LITTLE EXPERIENCE AS I HAVE HAD ON IT!! SHUTTERFLY HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD FOR ME AS FAR AS LEARNING HOW TO GET AROUND ON IT! STILL DON'T KNOW HOW SOME OTHERS HAVE SUCH GREAT SITES!!! DO YOU HAVE A GUESTBOOK TO WRITE ALL THIS ON TO YOU? OR IS IT O.K. TO SOMETIMES JUST E-MAIL ALL THIS! THANKS AGAIN!!!! DEB

Connie, Thank you for checking out, and commenting on my photo's! You are such a good photographer, that it means a lot to me to get a compliment on my photo's from you!!! Thanks again, talk later......!
1/19/2010 12:11:25 AM - 002088910291
I am so bummed out!!!!! I deleted my WHAT'S NEW page, while trying to edit an album from there! I deleted all the nice comments I had on my photo's at the same time, but could not get page back, no matter how I tried! SO sad! Now I will have to try to get new stuff for the page, but don't much feel like it right now!!!!
1/18/2010 12:37:42 AM - 001038348079
Hey there my friend. Trying to make at least two or three visits tonight. Wow...it has been so incredibly long since I have been here...Look at the blue popping out of those photos. They are breathtaking! And love the garden flowers...Wow wow wow! I hope you have a wonderful week!
1/17/2010 10:59:28 PM - 002088910291
I just had to delete my friend, Shellie from my share site, because she is wanting to be a member only, not a share site member. She does not get into taking pics, as much as we do! So, we laughed about it, and deleted her! Debbie
1/13/2010 3:00:43 AM - 002088910291
WOWEE!!! IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO KEEP UP WITH JUST ALL THE NEW BOOKS IN NATURE!! HOW DO YOU ALL KEEP YOUR SITES NEW AND FRESH, ALONG WITH KEEPING UP WITH ALL THE BOOKS!!! I HAVE A REAL APPRECIATION WITH ALL YOU DO!!! EVERYONE WHO TAKES TIME TO COMMENT, AND HELP OTHERS WITH THEIR SHARE SITES ALSO! Debbie
1/11/2010 5:28:51 PM - 002088910291
Tonette, No, I am not a professional photographer, but sure wished I was!!! I have sold some pics, but to neighbors, friends, or family. I am coming back to your site today!! Thanks for the vote of confidence, it is something I have a hard time with. I am my own worst critic!!

Hi Debbie, How are you? I already am a member of your share site and I think you are a member of mine. All the sites you are a member up will show up under your My Shutterfly and if you click on View Share Sites, mine should be there as well as any you are a member of.
Also you can add a photo or however many to my site. I'd love that.

Debbie, Are you talking about how Barbara got the happy faces?Yes - go to Options then click Add Comment!! Kind of fun!!

Just wanted to thank you for the lovely comment on my site, I'll have to check out your books. Thank you for your very kind comment on my Year In Review book also. I wasn't going to do one as I had used so many of those photos in previous books.

Have a great night! Joey

Hello there, Thanks so much for visiting my site! and for leaving your comments! I'm glad you found us. We are a tight little family that loves taking photos! Anyway, I'm sure you read I had surgery on the 21st so i'm not yet feeling too good yet but did want to drop you a fast note. (and when I feel better i'll fill you in on the b/w color photos. K??? Glad you found Joey also. Shes my pal. (i'll be back to look around, I can tell we share the same passion!)
12/12/2009 3:52:21 PM - 000074469281
Thanks for sending me the link to your site. I don't know why it wasn't working for me. You have a great site filled with many amazing photos. I noticed you have more books in the Gallery, I'll have to check them out as well. Can I add your site link to my Gallery & Guru page? That way others can check out your site too. I can also share your link with a few people who are big into sahre sites. The Share Sites are a great community all their own. Its awesome.
Have a Merry Christmas!!
