A Timeless Classic

in

Okay, I'm a little nervous because I'm about to reveal just what a girlie girl romantic I am; with a bit of nerd thrown in for good measure ;)

I have an amazing gift to fall in love with TV shows that don't last very long.

I mean die-hard, head over heels, I can quote every single line of every episode in love with.

The TV series Christy is one such show.  If you're not familiar with the goodness that is Christy; think Little House on the Prairie meets Anne of Green Gables.  That's right; good quality, wholesome, non-cheesy TV at its best.  To this day, watching Christy brings a goofy grin to my face as I quote episodes I've seen countless times.

As a little girl, I waited with baited breath to see if Christy would choose David or Dr. McNeil.

In my teen years, I identified with the  young girl wanting to be seen as a grown woman.

As a young adult living overseas, I could relate to a young woman living out her adventures in a culture foreign to her.

And today, I can connect with my 10 and 12 year old girlfriends as we again discuss the dilemma of David or Dr. McNeil :)

This time of year always has me thinking of timeless classics.  Although not a holiday series, Christy has been a timeless treasure that has connected with me in various seasons of my life.  I hope that my photography will be like Christy; a timeless treasure enjoyed by all ages in every season of life.

Mr. T's Birthday Party

in ,

As soon as I walked in and saw this birthday cake from Opulent Cakes, I knew Tofarati's (who I affectionately call Mr. T) 1st birthday party was going to be great!

Isn't Mr. T such a cutie?

We tried for a shot of the two cousins, but there were a few tasty distractions, or perhaps someone was just hungry.

Check out this great gift Mr. T's aunt brought him.  It took him a little while to warm up to it.

But they eventually became friends.

I love, love, love that Mr. T's mom made time for some family portraits.  It was a great chance to show off their family's awesome style!

Unguarded, candid moments are always my favorite!

Mr. T's Dad is an incredibly talented artist and did a wonderful job decorating Mr. T's room.

Here's a better shot of the two cousins, stylin in their traditional native attire.

Boys and their toys :)

Mr. T, you are the man!
