My stash of orange trims
 
















Hey! How did that stray pale yellow one get in there?
My scrap space needs some serious tlc.

 This is a shot of the apple orchard that is just behind my house. You'd never guess I can get to mid-town Manhattan in an hour...on a good day ; ) I feel truly fortunate to be able to enjoy the best of both worlds!!

There's nothing I love to do more, at the end of a long day, than to wrap myself up in my chenille robe!!
Trust me, it feels like pure bliss, but looks more like a bath mat...or something, in this picture LOL
Eeeek, looks like my cat likes it too. Don't mind the cat hair.

My husband has a serious "need for speed"! It freaks me out a bit that his true passion is ski racing. Not only is it dangerous, but expensive! These "bad boys" are only one pair from his large "arsenal of weapons". The one good thing about this hobby of his....he really can't complain about my scrappy obsession. Right!? ; )

My weak attempt at arrows!!!

Today I stumbled on, "the word", instead of the photo for a change.
I thought and thought...and thought more about what it meant to me... Special. My mind was in over drive all day about it. I took tons of pictures, but none were right. I don't mean in a photography since of the word, but what it represented to me. Now don't get me wrong, my family and my home are my world, but so cliche', right!?
As I was saying good night to my daughter, I was totally taken off guard by this scene. I don't know when she did it, but next to her bed was: a trophy plate her Daddy won "for her", a night light of mine when I was little (the angel), a pin her grandmother gave her at Christmas and a few other "treasures" she's collected. All special to her .
Now, I can sleep ; )

Our view of a race course from the lift.
My girls get such a thrill knowing that
they ski on the same trails as the
Olympians : )
