RIP/ Selfies

Wanted to share with you a photo
I took at the wedding I photographed
on May 4th.

This is the Star Wars couple.
They came with swords which was 
fun in some of the shots. 


I worked this pic up for them.

Been a sad week.
We just seem to be losing 
a lot of the good ones.
Doris Day
age 97


Tim Conway was 85.


I also went to visitation for this
young man.
I know his mom but his grandfather
and I worked together in Printing and
were really good friends.


Such a shame. Candace (mom) is a strong
woman. She lost a son about 6 yrs ago
in a car accident and she lost Chris to 
murder. 
He lived with his dad and apparently
dad was drunk, they got in a fight 
and dad stabbed him in the heart. 
I can't grasp that.

RIP Doris, Tim and Chris.

Got all made up to go out
to dinner and hear Bluegrass 
music with Julie and James
(Tn Tiny Weddings).



Those wrinkles around the eyes
are getting deeper and deeper. 

Changed out my watermelon
toes for ART on the TOES.


I have never been a selfie person but
with the death of my friend Laura
in Oct and me trying to locate a pic
of her and I, then looking through pics
of mom for her funeral I decided that
there needed to be more pics of me 
for my kids to use. 

So forgive me for posting selfies....
but I did wish to 
share my fave one with you!

The photos looks fantastic! I didn't realize these two great passed away. That is a tragedy what happened to your friend's son. You have quite a talent painting your toe nails. You look beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend.

How very sad, Chris' death. You look at Doris or Tim Conway -- they lived their lives fully. I hate seeing a life end before its time.

You look cute all dolled up Pam :) Tim Conway, sigh...I used to watch the Carol Burnett show religiously each week, such great comedians...

I clicked "Publish" too quickly...I'm really sad about that young man being murdered. Honestly Pam...here in Quebec it's very rare to read about things like that. Especially up here in the mountains, people die of accidents and naturally, but a murder just seems so shocking to me. Very sad.

That is so very very sad about Chris. And especially for this mama who has now lost 2 children. We lost our daughter in 1986 and I can't even let myself think of losing another. I will pray for this mama. You make a great selfie but for whatever reason I make HORRIBLE ones! Of course, I hate most photos of me...for some reason I am horribly unphotogenic!!! I loved Doris Day....watched so many of her movies especially with Rock Hudson:) And Tim Conway was absolutely a riot. So sad to think of them gone, but thankfully films and videos have preserved their talents. Have a happier week!

I can't believe what Candace is living through. It is so sad and my prayers are with her and her family. ((HUGS))

Pam,

The wedding photograph is super cool and fun. The happy couple can look back on these with fond memories for sure doing the shoot. :) Yes, we lost two great entertainers last week. It's always sad but how horrible for your friend to lose a child at the hands of his drunk dad. Oh, good grief! No good ever comes from addiction. I wish people would never give room to such vices. While some are safe to have an occasional drink, others take it too far until it becomes a horrible habit. My cousin many years ago was responsible for the death of his young son. He had a drinking problem. The wife had to run errands one day, leaving the sleeping child in his daddy's care. One day, he fell asleep with a lit cigarette, the home caught fire. He had no clue that his son was in the house. Needless the say, the boy suffocated to death. It was such a horribly sad time as you can only imagine and it nearly broke my heart. Extending prayers to Candace and her family. Have a good week and thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Those are the kinds of selfies I like to take ;)

So sad about your friend's kid. Who brings a knife to a drunken fight?

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
