I was beyond ecstatic when my mother brought these slides to my house from my great aunt's home. There are 7 boxes of slides (approx. 70 slides in each box) that were taken of my family during the 50's and 60's. There's even photos of JFK. Words can not express my joy over having these in my possession. There are only 2 relatives on here that are still living, everyone else has passed. I can't wait to get these converted over to DVDs then printed.

Davis Island; my new found paradise
I had to seek out a place where I could take a photo for the photo-a-day challenge for an online forum I'm actively participating in, as all my pics seem to be of the "around the house" sort. So I started out by driving along beautiful Bayshore Boulevard but I found the traffic to be too heavy for me to slow down and get something on film. (err, I guess technically it would be "on digital"). So I drove a little further and found myself taking the bridge over to Davis Island. It was there that I found this wonderfully quiet and beautiful spot to claim as my new found paradise. Just past Peter O'Knight Airport is a nice little beach with a gorgeuos view of the sailboats and a dead on perfect view of the sunset. There's even a park bench to sit while viewing the sunset. Just before the sun sets, I can sit there and enjoy a book as I'm listening to the birds and enjoying the elements. I can't wait to go back. I'd like to go there to get back into, well, to start that is, jogging. There's a narrow strip along the roadway and a narrow strip of beach, in either case, would be perfect to jog along. There is a dog park and enclosure across the street, but the noise really didn't travel to the small beach area. I'm so looking forward to going back.
