But life is precious and I am working on those precious moments that mean the world to us who loved her. Great job. I have never gotten to see the GC.

It is just too deep and too hot. This is a great photo and I like your blog, the name intrigued me right off. Your mother had it right to write her adventures. You are fortunate to have a good start on things and yes today producing a book is not as difficult. Good luck continuing her saga.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9096878463388762735.post-29799912426346310112011-09-22T17:32:06.506-04:002011-09-22T17:32:06.506-04:00Kristin,

I just HATE rattlers so I didn't include it - they make me nervous and excessively aware of my ankles. :) I'll add it if there is enough interest though. :)))Liz Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9096878463388762735.post-40141371135903178222011-09-22T17:11:55.527-04:002011-09-22T17:11:55.527-04:00I am hearing the rattle of snakes in that photo wh...I am hearing the rattle of snakes in that photo while she's napping!
