Just back from a great getaway with a dear old friend. </div>
<div align="center">
We both needed it. </div>
<div align="center">
Life is trying and busy and complicated</div>
<div align="center">
and time for catching up with friends seems hard to find. </div>
<div align="center">
So we plan this getaway. </div>
<div align="center">
A great hotel with a Groupon deal. </div>
<div align="center">
The Atlantic City boardwalk is more charming than I ever remembered. </div>
<div align="center">
The weather - sublime. </div>
<div align="center">
<br />

</div>
<div align="center">
We talk. </div>
<div align="center">
We eat.</div>
<div align="center">
We walk the boardwalk. </div>
<div align="center">
We wander the casino and <br />
dabble at the penny slot machines. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
And then we find time - to sit by the sea! </div>
<div align="center">
We find an empty barren beautiful beach </div>
<div align="center">
occasionally scattered with summer diehards, </div>
<div align="center">
reluctant to say goodbye to summer. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
A glorious getaway </div>
<div align="center">
And the peace and calm and recharging </div>
<div align="center">
only gotten by </div>
<div align="center">
Time by the Sea! </div>
<div align="center">

So today's prompt for the challenge is the word </div>
<div align="center">
SUNDAY!!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So I get the idea, as I am on my way to Mom's for a Sunday Dinner, </div>
<div align="center">
to get a photo of SUNDAY dinner at Mom's </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
After I explained the project and direction to all 18 family members<br />
and mounted myself high on a chair to "capture" a spontaneous shot,<br />
everyone began with the jokes,<br />
the comedy routines<br />
and the laughter. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I added a dramatic edit,<br />
to create the mood of SUNDAY dinner </div>
<div align="center">
at Don Vito Corleone's,<br />
but nothing could really help the poor quality of the shots. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
But I guess a shot that captures a night of boisterous<br />
laughter and fun with family can't be all bad.</div>

So after Dad passed we gave Mom a pup - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a little abused breeder 7 year old, 7 pound yorkie<br />
named Filoe, now named Riley,<br />
from a busted puppy mill in -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get this - "Collins", Missouri. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing can replace a shared life of 60 years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but this little pup filled the void of "something to care about" in her daily life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a match made in heaven. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom now walks him 3 times a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has made a whole new circle of "dog" friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riley travels everywhere with her - <br />
whether allowable or not - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the grocery store,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in her purse while at church </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and at every family gathering. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As she said, "I didn't rescue him, he rescued me". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But ironically on her last visit to my home,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she was surprised to see no framed photo of my new dog brother. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No pictures of him???"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you kidding????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has become my favorite "subject" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A 7 pound gift of Joy! </div>

It is hard to believe half a year has gone by since we said goodbye to Dad. In some ways, it seems so long ago since we heard his husky quiet laugh or enjoyed his warm, easy, interested company, with even the sound of his voice, becoming a distant memory. But in other ways it seems like just yesterday that a constant in our lives, the glue of the family, the leader of the band, was abruptly and quickly, yet elegantly and with great grace, taken from us forever. <br />
<br />
We all joined to say a final goodbye - with our last Father's Day with Dad - at his sacred ground - Peace Valley Park in Bucks County, Pa.<br />
<br />

The raw sting of his loss, with time, has since been replaced by a quiet ache and a forever daily reminder of the man. The event was as Mom said, just what Dad would have enjoyed - A pleasant Family Picnic. <br />
<br />
Young and old gathered - <br />
Varied Pups wandered - <br />
Way too much food was offered - <br />
The weather - a pleasant balmy breezy Sunday afternoon. <br />
The mood - respectful of event - but not morose and maudlin. <br />

When bikers and walkers had passed - we gathered quietly to scatter some ashes by the waters edge. <br />
A poem sent from Cathy was read by my sister Connie - <br />
<br />
And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?<br />
<div>
I did.</div>
<div>
And what did you want? </div>
<div>
To call myself beloved, <br />
To feel myself beloved on the earth</div>
<div>
- Raymond Carver </div>
<div>
</div>
Our glasses were raised for a toast to a great man and a loving, kind father... <br />

that maybe I need more broadminded, intelligent, humble people in my life to share all that I believe is rich - hikes in the woods, classical music concerts, travel, politics, books - rich stuff, not the small stuff. <br />

Maybe it's time I shed my fear of "going for it". Maybe I should give it a go at being/doing what my heart desires - photography. Maybe I should follow what my father always said, "You know I've always thought you should be a photographer".<br />

A Family Wedding is coming up. <br />
My brother's daughter is getting married. <br />
The couple has asked I take their pictures that day. <br />
I've declined, referred, suggested and yet, <br />
they assure me they won't be disappointed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yikes! <br />
As the wedding day looms, the stress builds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for a shot in the arm, <br />
my dear friend suggested I do a "baby shoot" of her magical daughter Emma. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with a beautiful babe like Emma - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyone would feel a competent photographer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That little babe is Magic! </div>

Okay, I know it. </div>

You should never pick favorites. </div>

You should love both of your children equally<br />

After the death of my first ever dog Kenya, his younger brother <br />

Six years I have tried to make Freddie "live his best Life" </div>

Agility classes. </div>
<div align="center">
Harness belts to prevent "jump up".</div>
<div align="center">
Camomile pills to ease his seperation anxiety while I am at work. </div>
<div align="center">
Considered, interviewed homes, contacted rescues <br />
in the hope of giving Freddie "his best Life"</div>
<div align="center">
Now he's still with me.<br />
And I do love him, despite his faults...</div>
<div align="center">
