Graduation Day!

Yesterday was graduation day for my daughter at Florida State University. She received her Masters Degree in Music Education while working as a full-time high school band director, being a wife, and also the mother of my two small grandchildren. I'm so proud of her! Here we are after the ceremony yesterday afternoon. It was a wonderful day.

Skywatch Friday

I'm still not back to daily blogging, but when I saw these beautiful clouds over my head as the sun was going down, I immediately thought about Skywatch Friday.

Just checking in....

....to let you all know that I'm still here! I probably won't be back full time until sometime this summer, but I took this picture the other day at Lake Ella and just couldn't resist the urge to post it. I'm still busily working toward my retirement and also looking forward to welcoming a new grandson in July! My son and daughter-in-law (you might remember that I posted a few pics of their wedding two years ago) are expecting and we all couldn't be more excited.

Taking a break

As all of you probably have guessed, my blog has been on a little hiatus lately because I am so overwhelmed right now that I don't feel I can devote the proper amount of time to it that it deserves. I am hoping that once I retire this summer I can get back to full time blogging again, but until then, I am happy to introduce a new daily photo blog about Tallahassee that I think you will enjoy. It's run by Claire and called Tallahassee Daily Photos. Please stop by for a visit and tell her hi!

Weekend Reflections

I found this marker for a time capsule in the courtyard behind the FSU Alumni Association house. If you look closely, you will see reflections of the sky, trees and the roof of the building in the seal. To see more wonderful reflections from all over the world, don't miss Weekend Reflections.

SkyWatch Friday

Can you see the plane just at the edge of the clouds in this picture? To see more beautiful skies from just about everywhere in the world, don't miss SkyWatch Friday.

President's Home

This house is located right next door to the house I showed yesterday and is the home of the current FSU President. This was as close as I could get to the house since it is a private residence.

Pearl Tyner House

The Pearl Tyner House is located across the street from the Florida State University campus and originally served as the home of the University's president. It is now part of the FSU Alumni Association complex and serves as a welcome center. Pearl Tyner was a graduate of FSU back when it was known as Florida State College for Women and was a generous benefactor of the University.

Chicken & Waffles

I saw this food truck parked downtown. I've never tried the chicken & waffles, but I like chicken and I like waffles, so I'll bet it's pretty good. I notice they also have sweet potato fries and I know I like those!

Men in Trees

You can only see his legs, but there is a guy up there working on trimming that huge live oak tree near downtown Tallahassee. It was a little windy the day I took this picture, so he was having to wrestle with the Spanish moss while he was trying to work.
