July's Day in the Life

Wow!! Can you believe today is August already?? Where has this year gone? Well as you know I have been participating in Ali Edward's Day in the Life project on the last day of every month, so yesterday I was busy documenting our everyday ordinary. It was a nice surprise to have my sister home on vacation too :) Here are some of my favorites from the day:
morning quiet time

driving to Bible study (yes I was stopped at a red light to take this picture!)

Our meeting place each week

my sister hanging out on facebook

checking the front garden for our "babies"

they aren't really "babies" anymore, although they are not quite full grown yet either

sharing some fudge from the beach after lunch

deciding to make some chocolate chip cookies

and the fun begins. . .

almost done

going for an afternoon walk

picking our 1st ripe tomato, they are ripening really slow this year

chillin' with her kindle

ending my day with the Big Picture Classes Pajama party

My Punta Cana trip via feet

Ha!Ha! So I was talking to a friends today and it came up that I took 28 pictures of my feet while I was on vacation! I guess I thought taking pictures of where you are via your feet was normal, like a self portrait. Maybe not. Oh well I still enjoy it and thought I would share a post of my vacation thru the fun collection of feet pictures I took :)
Waiting at the airport

finally relaxing at the resort

stepping into the clear Caribbean

enjoying the view

having a refreshing beach drink

hanging out in the lobby waiting for our rep

working on my verses in some down time

horseback riding on the beach

my horseback riding bruise

watching the awesome rainstorm

playing in the rain

snorkeling

kyacking in a single kyack

permanently sandy

scuba diving lessons

double kyack

relaxing in the water

quiet time in the hammock

preparing to come home!


So. . .do you photograph feet?? Sure makes for an interesting perspective!!
