Memowies. Sweet memowies.
Sometimes, as I look through the archives, I cringe at the pictures...
...my how things have changed!
I wonder what my photography will look like in a year from now. It's proven to be one of those skills that one must keep practicing. Writing this blog has given me an excuse to finally buy that Nikon D70 I've been day dreaming about for years - what a blessing that has been. And a mighty thanks to my husband who not only allowed me to splurge on it, but who has also been patient with me as I blindly (and sometimes full of hatred for technology) navigated Blogger-land. He has postponed movie-watching so that I can finish uploading photos and even selflessly taken a break from homework so that I can get online and publish posts.
I love that man.
This blog has given my an excuse to air my dirty laundry, talk about baby poo and floaties in the bathwater, all things food, parenting etiquette, and about my faith in Christ. It has given me an organized archive of my favorite recipes and has opened up many friendships with people I probably will never meet face to face. I've learned. I've grown. I've changed.
I love this blog. I really do.
Thank you for being my reader. If you didn't read it, I wouldn't write it. And then where in the world would I be?!
What will this next year bring for The Elliott Homestead? Heck if I know. Hopefully, it will bring a dairy cow...but it's best if one doesn't get ahead of ones self.
And now that I've officially done nothing productive for the last hour (as I've been lost in archive land), I better go do something and at least look busy.
HAPPY FRIDAY!
P.S. Sorry I didn't post a menu today. Priorities, people.
Hey Shaye, I'm visiting your blog as promised; and as I told Stuart, I plan to make The Elliott Homestead the third site that I ever go to when I get on the internet, along with my two gmail accounts. Today seems to be a good day to make such a resolution, seeing that it the one year anniversary. I always like the pictures, especially when the family appears in them. I enjoyed today's post so much, that I went ahead and read yesterday's as well. I agree - silk flowers only work if they're not cheap silk flowers; I personally do not know if I have ever actually seen fake flowers that did work, but I'm glad to hear you've found some. Also, congratulations on the new bra! I'm sure that's very exciting. I look forward to future posts (and future comments). -Alex
