The Way I See Things

Where Does The Time Go

After all the snow and stormy weather we endured here in Connecticut this past year, our school year has finally ended.  Both of sons have left for camp: one a CIT and the other a junior counselor.  Back at a place they call their other home.  I still find it hard to beleive that my oldest is a rising senior now and my youngest a rising junior.  Within the swirl of ACTs, SATs, SAT IIs, prep classes, and college visits I still find it so hard to believe how quickly my little boys have grown up.   A good friend shared this video with me -- her way of telling me that I'm not alone in feeling this way.  If you're a parent (especially of a tween, teen, or young adult) I'm sure you will be able to relate to this! (Warning: kleenex might be needed!)

Two Blogs Might be Better Than One

Hi all!  I know its been a really long time since my last post.  I've been trying to figure out exactly what I want this blog to be about.  Obviously it's about the way I see things, my perspective, etc but beyond that I felt like it was struggling to find it's identity.  From now on, this blog will no longer have my crafty projects (scrapbooking, photography, mixed media, etc).  Instead all those goodies can be found on another blog called Dawn's Craft Room.

THE WAY I SEE THINGS will focus on my personal thoughts, rants, recipes, and of course my intrepid travels around the globe!  I Hope you will continue to drop by this blog as well as visit my new one!

Have an awesome week! -- Dawn

 

(a look ahead: my puppy, Chloe, turns ONE.  I will be traveling to Italy, France, and Spain for 2 weeks, I will be visiting several colleges in the Fall and there will be a return to Bama (FINALLY!) in my future!  Stay tuned . . . )
