This week was supposed to be my vacation week. I was down in Wildwood Crest when I snapped this shot at the Cape May Lighthouse in Cape May, NJ. The theme for this week was Connections. For years, lighthouses were a sailor's connection to land and their beacon guided them safely home. Well a little more than half into our vacation Hurricane Irene decided to come up the coast and was expected to make landfall in Cape May. The entire area was ordered to evacuate. So we cut our vacation short and packed up and went home. Luckily we did not suffer any water damage but many surrounded areas were devastated by flooding.
How many times do you feel life is just speeding by? Well, this week's theme is Slow Down and Look Back. Do you remember when you were a kid and it seemed you had all the time in the world? No worries, just living carefree. Sometimes we need to do just that. Slow down and enjoy life. Otherwise it might just pass you by.
Week 32 brings us to our Favorite Time of Day. As you can guess from the picture, my favorite time is movie time with the family. Friday nights are usually when I make a tray of finger foods and popcorn, of course. Why is it better at home than in the theater? Well, my food is better. The seating is more comfortable. And let's not forget the number one reason - pause and rewind. This last feature comes in handy with the kids.
