I love taking photos, and was excited about participating. The daily posts paint a brief picture of my year and open my eyes to the beauty around me. It is challenging to post a photo daily. I was successful in 2009 and 2010, but fell a few short in 2011. I'll be continuing my quest for daily photos in 2012 and look forward to sharing them here.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.comBlogger970125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373210009364800525.post-86164540097554467332016-01-30T13:20:00.001-06:002016-01-30T13:20:12.902-06:00Alumni 1st day luncheon<a href="https://animoto.com/play/Ew5yC0KsapFdwOj85qVZYw">Alumni 1st day luncheon</a>Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373210009364800525.post-62695705880149001482015-08-10T14:29:00.000-05:002015-08-10T14:29:22.141-05:00Colorado Trip - July 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was subbing today, which is unusual this close to the the last day of school. This little girl was really enjoying her healthy snack!Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373210009364800525.post-45293752137808151602012-06-03T15:55:00.001-05:002012-06-03T16:11:14.770-05:00Day 155 - Coffee<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;">

Our old coffee maker bit the dust this morning, so we had to go out and buy a new one. I'm enjoying a good cup of coffee mid-afternoon today!Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373210009364800525.post-56075347711605641632012-06-02T16:09:00.000-05:002012-06-03T16:10:43.187-05:00Day 154 - ABCs<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;">

It is always an extra special day when our grandson comes over for an unexpected visit! At nearly 22 months, he is so fun! He loves to play outside and explore and learn about everything he sees. Here we convinced him to come inside for a bit of a break!Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373210009364800525.post-82230562602835863982012-06-01T16:42:00.000-05:002012-06-03T16:43:37.451-05:00Day 153 - Wall Unit<div style="font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;">

We are redecorating our family room. We've had this wall unit for many years and even had it adapted a bit when we got a large flat screen TV. Our family room is big, so this wall unit is about 15 feet long. We are trying to decide how to go about finding a new home for it. It is not going to be an easy job to dismantle it and move it out of here. Although it is time to update the furniture in this room, I will miss the storage in this large wall unit.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08289218375879798138noreply@blogger.com0
