A Mirror with a Memory: Fall and Thanksgiving 2011

I don't have a of lot of words for the masses still. It's been a hard few months for me, and I haven't really felt like blogging, in the sense of writing about my life.

I'd still like to share some photos with you all, just to show that I'm still alive if nothing else.

My good friend Shaza and I hung out in San Juan Capistrano a few times in the past month or so. We had delicious coffee, Greek food and met a llama. Oh, and I'm trying to hook her into photography, which isn't hard, since all of the exceptional photos below were taken by her!

Dad recently made a trip down to sign his book, The Automobile and American Life, at the Peterson Automobile Museum in LA. Tony and I ventured up there with him (HATE LA TRAFFIC. UGH.), moseyed around the museum and ventured to the LA Farmer's Market. Most of my photos in the museum were, much to my husband and father's chagrin, of details that I liked.

I've also spent some time embracing the spirit of my most favorite season. Whether that be crafting or decorating my house, the result is usually pretty ridiculous.

Tony and I traveled to Ohio for the Thanksgiving holiday. Being home after living in a different climate/state/universe for the past 7 (!?!?!!!) years threw me for a loop. Mom and I went to my old elementary school, which used to have the most awesome playground EVER. They've now torn it down and constructed a safer, less cool "Tiger's Turf II". Mom and I took the opportunity to horse around, and I present below photographic evidence why my Mom is the coolest ever.
