Blue Monday Phamily

This is my nephew Charles in blue and his niece Shelby. Shelby is the daughter of my nephew Tony. She is fifteen. I have not seen a photo of her since she was a baby! Since my sis passed away I don't get the photo ops I like. Charles has a lovely wife Cheryl and she took this picture. Thank you Cheryl!

All summer long we walked and ran at this beautiful place. Now it is closed for an 8 million dollar facelift! We understand that a beautiful carousel will be out in place as well as a skate park. I have nothing against kids and skate parks but the noise will drive away all the beautiful wildlife, primarily birds and bull frogs! I think change is good but sometime not so much! This was a favorite blue photo I took there this summer. Now the snow is in the forecast...

A little Maxine to make you smile this morning. Now hurry over and visit Sally

Ahhhhh... Dare to dream!!

Sweet Tea said...: I hope the "face lift" can be a win/win for all concerned. Sometimes people need to leave well enough alone.

Your neice is beautiful.
Hope she is happy.

Diann said...: I find that sad that they are going to do that to the park. There are plenty of places for kids to play but, very few all nature places left. I hope everything goes okay. Have a wonderful day.; October 24, 2011 at 10:45 AM

Nikki (Sarah) said...: wouldn't it be great if that facelift included enhancing the use of that beautiful area. A place where people and families could come and hear the quiet....a haven from the noise of the world.; October 24, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Unknown said...: Indeed it is gorgeous ... sometimes change is not great, I agree.
Hope this week is going to be a beauty for you, sweetie.
