Going Under the Knife

Please pray for my mom. She will be having neck surgery this Wednesday, Jan. 27th. The surgery will last 2-3 hours and will hopefully be successful. Thank you!

One Click Made Us Friends

Meet Emma Jean.....one click of my camera made us friends. Almost two years ago, we went to a Dino concert. I've always wanted to see him play the piano in concert and finally it happened. While he was on stage talking, he wanted someone from the crowd to play the piano with him. He picked Emma Jean as her family was pointing to her and saying, "she plays!". She went on stage and got on the piano bench with him and and they played a duet. While they were up there, a lightbulb went on in my head. I didn't see anyone taking pictures so I turned on my camera and began clicking away. I figured she'd want something to remember her moments on stage with a world famous pianist. During the intermission, I went up to her and explained what I did. She was so happy and gave me her address. Not long after that, I got the pictures made and sent them to her. She called me and was elated that I actually took the time to get them made and sent to her. She said, "People tell you all the time that they will do things and never end up doing it." I, in turn, told her that I gave her my word. She wanted a copy of the pictures and I made her a CD and sent it to her. It got broken somehow in the mail, so she called and I did another one for her. She treasures those pictures and has shown them to lots of people and tells them about a wonderful girl that took pictures of her during her few moments of fame on stage. I get to see her every once in awhile at concerts and we enjoy talking to each other. The picture above was taken on New Year's Eve......it was our first picture together since our first meeting.......we should've done it before, but I guess the lightbulb in my head was out of commission for awhile! :) You just never know who you will become friends with when using your camera!
