Our House

What a lovely home! That porch is to die for! You've done a beautiful job with the yard.

Thanks, Ellie. My husband pretty much single handedly re-built it about ten years ago. The joke is that was built so sturdily that it will last centuries longer than the main body of the house.
Thanks for your nice comment about the garden. I have the typical gardener's critical eye, and I tend to see only what needs to be improved upon. : )

Pretty! And in the full bloom. Hope you enjoy a great summer. Oh, and per your suggestion :) I added some theme ideas to the VPTP suggestion box.

Great, rick! Hopefully, they'll be more successful than my choices, which seem to have fallen rather flat!

Your choices were just very specific, Deborah! I have lots of pet photos, but no pets with toys, for example. But I have enjoyed the submissions. Thanks for making suggestions, Rick. I suggested some to Angelica a couple of years ago, that were never used, and now I forgot what they were. ;)

I like it when I have to really work at searching for a theme - but don't like it if it's impossible and I come up empty handed. I didn't realize these would be quite so challenging! I appreciate your feedback, and I'll remember to be a little more open ended next time.
I wonder if one of the admins still have your old suggestions saved?

Oh, no worries, Deborah! My problem is that my photos aren't well organized at all. The ones I haven't scanned fill a couple of large shoe boxes, and it's very time-consuming to look through them all. A lot of them are fairly mundane...maybe I need to let some of those go. ;) Once I know all of the July themes, I'll start looking. Pretty sure I don't have one for this week either, but maybe something will jump out at me.
