Hope it inspires you ... http://visionofgrandeur.com/blog/2008/07/12/another-warrior-goes-home/ I can't believe it's been since February that I've posted. And at that time our city was experiencing record snowfalls and now, this Spring we have surpassed all previous flood records set in 1929 and 1993. I took several photos of before, when I didn't think the water would get much ... http://visionofgrandeur.com/blog/2008/06/30/from-one-extreme-to-another/ I thought I would share some images of our blizzard.

No snow, no ice...nothing.       This is our neighbor's roof.     Looking out from our ... http://visionofgrandeur.com/blog/2008/02/17/pics-from-today/ I know, I know. Why write so melancholy? It is because I woke this morning with my cat, Adagio, coughing up a hairball...on my bed! And as I'm trying to get my feet on the floor, I look out my windows and see snow. More snow.

I didn't feel I had written anything specifically about him and I hadn't mentioned his name, but nonetheless, I began to question why I even have a blog. So, during ... http://visionofgrandeur.com/blog/2008/02/10/to-blog-or-not-to-blog/ I got a job. It's not the ideal job, but it pays more than my last one. God is good...all the time.
