The Boy

When I was 15 years old I met a boy.  He was 16, tall  (6’3, which towered over my rather short 5’3 frame), had long hair, wore a lot of black and … we hated each other.   From the minute we met we did nothing but bicker and fight.  I thought he was a sarcastic [...]

I thought I was massively fat, even though I’d love [...]

Saturday Photo Hunt - Skinny (ugh!)

This week’s theme is skinny, frig! What am I going to put for that? It’s not like I’ve ever been skinny.  At least that’s what the kids at school told me!   Ever since I was a child I was always the chubby kid.   When I look back at photos of myself when I was [...]

The Falls

A few years ago, actually… more like 15 years ago (ugh!) my friend Peggi and I went out for a drive and were looking for some nice places to take pics. We drove about 15 minutes away from home and found these really nice waterfalls tucked in off an old dirt road. [...]
