Back from St. Martin and tan as can be! I'm in the process of building my first page in almost 3 years! I've added a few tips already and hope to keep adding over the next few days. St. Martin/Sint MaartenWe earned enough miles from the remodel of our kitchen and both bathrooms to cover our flights from Los Angeles to St. Martin. We met about a dozen of our family members on the island to attend our neice's graduation from medical school. |
|  | Like Mother Like Daughter Spring is in the air!!! And although I am a California girl, spring not summer is my favorite season. There is such a feeling of renewal and hope. The skies are bright blue, everything is green and blooming. |
Homecoming! UPDATE!!! Jasmine will be honorably discharged and will return to the states in June 2008!!!! I promised her a VT WELCOME HOME BASH!!! I found the party spot now all we need is the guest of honor safely back on American soil. Check back for updates! You can thank W.'s troop increase for sending my beautiful friend and fellow VT member Soulanjuli off to Bagdhad on March 30, 2007. Her picture will remain on my homepage until she returns safely in one years time. She joined the reserves to pay for college and has served her country on previous deployments to Bosnia. She has been will be escorting journailsts to news sites in and around Bagdhad. | | |
| | One True Thing
THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS
CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED.
GANDHI
HE WHO IS CRUEL TO ANIMALS BECOMES HARD ALSO IN
HIS DEALINGS WITH MEN. WE CAN JUDGE THE HEART OF A
MAN BY HIS TREATMENT OF ANIMALS ~

A Moment of Zen~ There are so many defining moments in our lifetimes that it seems impossible to capture any one of them on film.
I am fortunate to have one such picture...this isn't it, but it comes close.
Paradise is not a place that can be found on a map
Instead,It is how you feel
for a moment in your life
And if you find that moment
It can last forever | | |
| | Short Journeys Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over.
A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness.
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
~JOHN STEINBECK
*My all time favorite travel quote |
Long Journeys The simple and ancient things
the things that bring the most pleasure, hardly ever change.
The sea is always the sea
The night is the night
And the stars, the stars. | | | Alone at the Acropolis 2000 |

| | Permenant Fixture Over two years have passed and I'm still glowing (but slightly chubbier)! Can you believe there were 606 pictures to choose from? Look below for a tiny sampling of the photos that I've been thumbing through...though there are hundreds this one remains one of the most perfect. It is of Luis vowing to my son to love him and care for him (not a dry eye in in the garden after that).
There was never a happier wife! |

Hi Jenn, Glad to hear you like DC. I love where I live, but not the politics. That's great news that your friend is coming back from Iraq soon. Best wishes, Diana | pieter_jan_v Fri Apr 11, 2008 17:11 UTC
