Hi. :))) How are you tonite? I am doing wonderful. :))))) Alot has gone on this Spring/Summer. :) First Cody and his girlfriend Cayla went to the prom, my grand-daughter Sophie turned 2 June 10th, my husband and I celebrated our birthday July 11th, my husband and I celebrated our 26th wedding Anniversary July 16th, our daughter Alecia is about to turn 23 on the 29th, and on August 11th Cody will turn 17. :)))))) I guess you could say we love to celebrate Summer. LOL!!!!! Alecia will be in Florida for her birthday. :( I know they will have alot of fun. :)) I have been buying school clothes for Cody bc school starts back on August 11th. :( After this year he will only have 1 more to go. It seems just like yesterday I was telling you all that he had just started high school. Time goes by so fast. So I may get out tomorrow and soak up some rays. :))) No beach trip this year, but when I lay out in our backyard I think of the breeze blowing through the leaves on the trees as the sound of the ocean. :)))) Where it has been so extra hot here you have to imagine yourself at the beach. LOL!!!! Enough about me. How have you been? I hope this finds you enjoying Summer. :))))))) I want to say thank you to each that looked, commented, and rated my last image. :))))) I am truely sorry I haven't commented on anyones postings. If nothing comes up I hope to be able to comment soon on your beautiful images. It just seems that there isn't enough time in the day for me to do all that I love. I hope you each will be able to forgive me. I should tell a little about this image. :))))) I shot this image of the Cosmos on July 6th. :))))) I love that I captured the beginning stages of the flowers. :))))))) One that is a flower bud, one that is in the beginning stages of opening, and one that has opened all the way. :)))) The open that is opened reminds me of a open heart. :))))) Having an open heart is so truely beautiful. :))) I better be off to bed, but before I go I wish each a most beautiful nites sleep filled with the sweetest of dreams. :)))) Start each day with a smile. :)))))))) Nite, Sweet Dreams :))))
