Thinking.

I woke up this morning after a slumber party night at my girlfriend's. We did the typical slumber party things, nail painting, magazines, dinner, wine. . . and now for some reason I cannot stop thinking about my father. Maybe it's because I'm being a bit childish slumber partying it up (on a school night no less), or because it was father's day this Sunday, or possibly the phone conversion between my new friend Elodie and her father this morning "Allô Papa". To curve my longing I decided to reread some of my Papa's poetry. I picture him like he looked in 1970s photographs . . .  typing, rereading, and correcting his work with his perfect handwriting.  

Today, this poem is my favorite:


1977

The countdown begins . . .

Exactly one week until my mom comes to visit!

My mom, sister and me

School's out for summer!

After a bit of a hiatus I am hopefully back on track with posting. I had an amazing week in South Dakota shooting for Knitter's magazine, though I must say I am exhausted from the week of work and delicious home made food! I immediately got ready for my last week of school at Miami Dade college and after a couple days of studying I took my last final on Friday! A milestone worth celebrating with a boat day! 
 
We came prepared with hummus, guacamole, and all the ingredients to make a refreshing salad. A perfect choice for lunch at the sandbar.
