Photo ©2006 Roger R. Lopez, La Vernia, Texas...Although I am not a photographer by any means, I do take pleasure in snapping photos so I thought I would try a shot at sharing some pics and also share some thoughts about myself and my family at the same time. I happen to know two very sweet and dear people who have a true passion for photography and have taken some fabulous photos and their links are posted here. I truly admire their talent and appreciate their encouragement for me to try something new. I admire them immensely and would love to possess even the teeniest bit of their talent! Thanks you two! So about me... a girl who grew up out in the country in the outskirts of San Antonio, Tx in a small town called Elmendorf, Tx. I grew up in a humble family of 6 who lived on 33 acres. Let me tell you it was the best! My parents grew their own fresh fruits and vegetables. We used to have an orchard of plum trees. It was the best being able to go and pick a plum to eat right off the tree...yum! I'll always be proud of where and how I was raised and will never lose my love for living out in the country! My dream is to live out in the country again someday!

Hi Sandra!!! :) Thanks so much for your visits - means a lot and they're always lovely to see. Love the cow pics! Very cool. I hope you're feeling good. I'm back - though not as regular for a while cause I'm just so damned busy getting this work done. But I'm back and I'm smiling! Thanks very much for just being you. You're loved all around the world - and a lot of us haven't had the pleasure of actually meeting you! "See" ya soon :) Smiles n' light always for you.
Saffron!!! Hi!!! You're back!! Yippee! Woohoo! You are always so very sweet to me!!
You are very welcome for the comments! You've been dearly missed! ; )
I'm good, I'm just very good at letting things stress me out! I'm trying not to though. ; )
I wish I could spend more time with my 3 year old during the day but I can't, I have to work. ; (
How sweet, it sure is nice to be loved by people from around the world. ; ) I never thought I would enjoy this so much. I love all of you guys and gals, too!!
Anthony (Carbineblog) is the only one that I have met in person. I've known him a year now. Meeting him was a true pleasure. He's gotten me to wake up to the world of technology. He's the one that got me started with blogging. I was sending him really long emails about life in the country and he suggested I try blogging. Well, I love it! I've met some really wonderful people because of it who really know how to make me smile which is something I really needed.
Thanks for also being you!! Lovely meeting you through blogging!! ; )
"See ya" soon!!
Luv and smiles always for you as well!,
Sandra

You're so lucky, Sandra, to have such a place to go back home to. It looks wonderful and I can almost smell the beautiful open spaces. Thanks for sharing. {{Big Hugs}} go to you from Malaysia. ~LadyHawk
Hi Moggie and Ladyhawk!!
Moggie, thanks, I'm glad you liked my moo pics! ; )
I sure hope I have lotsa luck and am able to travel to San Antonio at just the right time to catch some pics of the wildflowers that grow beautifully in that area. I also hope that they turn out okay. I am so extremely anxious to see them! ; )

Sandra
Hi Ladyhawk!,
You are always so sweet! I'm hoping to take some Spring pics of the outskirts of San Antonio. It's really beautiful there in the Springtime. All of the willdflowers growing out there are sooo beautiful this time of year.

Hi Alina!! Thanks!! I would love to live in the San Antonio Hill Country area someday! ; ) My Dad's place and the surrounding areas around him sure look really beautiful in the Springtime! Wildflowers grow like crazy around there and they are just gorgeous. Over here in Rio Grande Valley, I never see any wildflowers. ; ( I'll have to take a drive up to see the family soon so I can see the beautiful signs of Spring. Thank you so much for the lovely visit!! ; )
