Lizzy’s Latest – My Favorite Girl

If you’ve been following my blog on a regular basis, you know about my Forever BFF, Tammy, and my East Coast BFF, Packy.  Well, there is one other girl who completes my trifecta of besties.  She was a girl I used to know who remains close to my heart.  She was my Eternal BFF, Shari.  The first time we met was serendipitous and from that moment on, we became the best of friends.  We got into so much mischief together (as kids do!), but always gave the appearance of being perfect angels.  😉  When we lost touch many years ago, I never forgot Shari, even searching for her over the years to no avail.  Her impact on my life was immense and I often reminisced about our adventures and prayed that she was healthy and happy.

Lizzy’s Latest – Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, had an interesting life.  He was kidnapped into slavery by Irish pirates when he was just 16-years old.  While enslaved, St. Patrick worked as a shepherd and learned the Irish language.  During this time, he found comfort in prayer and developed a relationship with God.  One night in a dream, God instructed St. Patrick to find his way to the coast.  There he would find a boat that would free him from his captors.  Obeying God’s advice, St. Patrick indeed found a ship that sailed him home.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Charles by Charles David Muller Over-the-Knee Boots

Lincoln’s spectacular view: the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and Capitol. 🙂

These shots were taken the week after Thanksgiving.  I usually take that week off to do the majority of my Christmas shopping and put up the tree.  When I noticed one of the days was going to be a balmy 50 degrees, I asked Dad if he could take the day off for a photo shoot.  Dad was game and when I suggested the Lincoln Memorial, he was ecstatic.  Dad had been wanting to photograph at this location since I started my blog in 2015.  It was the perfect time of year too with minimal crowds.
