Focus on Life: In, At, About - In Our Hands

Hands are a big deal around here. 

My Grandmother's hands earned her living; cooking and sewing for years, a movie made about her culinary prowess, (Jaraslwa, 1975, Dee Dee Halleck)  and many compliments. The Woman with the "Golden Hands."

My mom's hands were not as famous, but she did many wonderful things, including cooking, drawing, needlework, bead work and knitting. 

In honor of my mother's birthday on Monday (she would have been 95 this year,) and Mother's Day next week, I present my hands, carrying out the tradition we have had in our family of a daughter presenting flowers to her mother. 

Let's see what the other members of Focus on Life have come up with for the monthly theme of "In, At, About", and this week's prompt "In your (their) hands."

Focus on Life : Checking Out - Expression!

Another trip to the Vault!

This week's focus on life prompt from Sally Russick was to check out "Expression." Just wasn't able to get out there with the camera this week, not even to focus on the dog or...squirrels or something. But I did think of some older shots of my kids. My son in April of 2013:

Waiting to leave for the airport.

Mugging for the camera. 

More mugging

You really going to sit here and wait with me the whole time?

Mike was on his way back to Join Base Lewis McChord in Washington that morning, and I was going uncharacteristically wild taking family pictures. The last three were taken at the airport, and we really did leave before Mike did. He always insists on getting to the airport super early. I got bored taking pictures of airplanes!

Here are some pictures of my daughter, in July of 2012:

Playing the "Claw Machine"

Ooops, she noticed I was taking pictures.

Just standing with her friends at the Lego store.

On Sara's 23 birthday, she and her friends invited my husband and me to accompany them to the bigger better mall about an hour from home. We had lunch, saw a movie (Brave) and had some nostalgic fun. Oh yeah, and they all bought themselves swords at the Lego Store. 

Let's see what other expressions people have found.
