Hi, its me again....

As for my avatar, this lady doesn't so much represent me as it is a representation of how I wish I looked these days. We do have similarities however. We are both blonde and have blue eyes. Well that's where the similarities pretty much end I guess. In an imaginary world why not make yourself into the person you wish you were and not the flawed person you actually are? Oh yeah, because it is lying. There is that. I prefer to think of it as embellishment......

Welcoming Flat Stanley

This weekend was another beautiful fall weekend and I got to visit a few places that I hadn't been in awhile. Kassidee, my seven year old niece, sent a surprise to me in the mail.....Flat Stanley! Some of you may remember the children's story of Flat Stanley. Her class is doing the project that goes along with the story by sending a cutout paper doll named Flat Stanley to someone in another state so they can "show him around." My job was to  take Stanley to some local attractions and take pictures of him doing what the locals do. Since we live here at the Marine bases, Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station, Stanley joined the Marine Corps while he was here.

After a hard day on base Staff Sergeant Stanley headed out to Topsail Beach for a little R and R. His "friends" buried him in the sand so he wouldn't blow away. 

That was all of Stanley's adventures this weekend, but next weekend who knows where he will go. I hope m niece and her class enjoy the pictures. 

Have a great week everyone!
