04 May raising our glasses
This weekend an intimate dinner of joy and hope brought a dear friend across the country to visit. She brought with her the company of amazing women. It was a delight to have the chance to spend time with each of them.
The normal miles between us have made it impossible for us to yet celebrate the Picture Hope win until this weekend. We stole away one evening and honored the work we’ve done, the accomplishment we achieved and and the most important part; our friendship. We ordered fancy drinks in tall glasses for our daughters and a few Stellas for ourselves enjoying a good meal and good company.
What are you honoring in your life? My guess is you turned your lens toward something special this weekend so let’s see your Best Shot.

Never doubt that the work of a small group

the world. Indeed it’s the only thing that ever has!

We spent so much time outside last week, I had to pick one of those for my best shot!

Posted at 13:47h, 04 Mayah, Stella, my beverage of choice! Much to celebrate with this next step. Adored the flickr photoset, especially those that captured the younger generation of ‘sisters.’
Today I’m honoring the ordinary moments.

Posted at 15:50h, 04 MayI spent an afternoon with my old college friend Amy last week, and her sweet little girl. I haven’t seen her in 15 years, and it was wonderful to be with her again. Her little girl was just beaming with joy and I hope I captured it!

Posted at 21:44h, 04 MayI just got back from a wonderful long weekend in Rome with my husband, where we stayed with friends and thoroughly enjoyed each other, the city, our friends and the quiet fun that comes when little people are left at granny and granddad’s house for the weekend and mummy and daddy escape 😉
I just posted my favourite shot of the weekend (and it’s story) on my blog: http://risingtothechallenge.blogspot.com/2009/05/best-shot-monday-1.html

Posted at 22:40h, 04 MayThere’s nothing better than getting together with FRIENDS (well, maybe family) – but sometimes our friends are almost like family! Love the pictures – looks like a fun time had by all! My shots are from this weekend with a couple of my closest friends!

Posted at 07:25h, 18 FebruaryI think that there is not a pretty good idea to compose the analysis essay by your own! In fact, this would be faster to purchase the argumentative term paper from paper writing service, because it can save your time.

Posted at 19:45h, 11 AprilA lot of specialists tell that loans help people to live the way they want, because they can feel free to buy needed things. Furthermore, some banks offer car loan for young and old people.
