Happy Thanksgiving, Readers !
Today I’m grateful for so much – Family and Friends top my list – but close behind is my health. This year has presented some challenges, but I’m happy to say by 2010 I’ll be adding up the miles on the pavement running again !
My thoughts are also with those that have [...]

West Chester PA town in Chester County PA and some photographs

West Chester PA How about a fun morning walking around West Chester with your camera?
How about some yummy breakfast at Market Street Grille to store up some energy for the walk first?

On Saturday, October 10th, my friend, John Lauber and I are hosting a Tweetup (you don’t really have to be on Twitter) Breakfast followed by a walk around the West Chester Borough. By your own breakfast is the only expense Kim Wood

Photo walks are a very informal gathering of people who like to take pictures whether a casual photographer or professional – we just walk around (most of the route will be chosen when the time comes) and shoot !

Let me know via email if you’d like to join in the fun – so we can watch for ya !

[Izzy, the Izzmeister]

Remembering….. Rex, the family dog…. Izzy, the family cat…. Nubby, my niece’s hamster…. Max, my sisters’ family dog…. Bubba, a friend’s family dog …. Puck, my cousins’ family dog and so many others.

I remember after someone sharing The Rainbow Bridge after Rex passed away, it gave some comfort. Pets so often become a member of the family – they just have the fur and fuzz. I want to picture them having a blast playing together.

For comfort and peace, I share with you…
Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Hank Baskett III is moving to the Colts, so I heard this morning. I’ll miss him. He is from Clovis, New Mexico and went to school with my daughter, AChrome23. It was fun to have him close by.

Good Luck with the Colts and GO E-A-G-L-E-S!

Go Cougars!

Dear Friends and Contacts, (Warning: This gets personal)
“Be transparent. Be you. Let people in.”
Those are the words I have practiced and taught in my social networks both virtually and in the real world, actually. The relationships that have been made because of it are beyond measure to me. I’ve always appreciated them – if you [...]

Fireworks Displays in Chester County, PA

It’s time to Spring Forward your clocks and change the batteries in your smoke detectors. It seems early to me this year for some reason – but I guess “they” know what they are doing. And I love summer evenings – hopefully we’ll get more tennis in this year !

I couldn’t wait to get my fingers rolling across the keyboard. I can only hope to convey what I saw today out of one outstanding Philadelphia Eagles football player to you. My lesson I continue to learn.
My family can say we “know” Hank Baskett III, of the Philadelphia Eagles football team. No, we aren’t like [...]
