Happy Fathers Day

Days With My Father - an incredibly beautiful and touching journal of sorts from Phillip Toledano

Dave Hill Photography

This guy’s work is stunning!! I don’t even know if I can explain why I love it so much. It just works. Its fun, vivid, original and I like it. A few of my faves are below but you should definitely go to his site and pick out a few of your own. It’s certainly worth the look.

Cannon Ball

I knocked “do a cannon ball” off my summertime bucket list! Yay! One down, nine to go. It all happened at a cookout last night and my good pal, Lindsay B., joined in on the fun. The water was pretty cold, but it was definitely worth it. How are things with your list?

Let's Get Motivated!

Everyone everywhere should check out the “alternative to standard motivational posters” by Right Brain Terrain. They are smart and beautifully done, and would look great next to my desk. Much better than a photo of an eagle flying over a mountain, in my opinion.

Make a List!

This year I’ve decided to make a summertime bucket list and I think that you should join me. All you need to do is think up ten things you would like to accomplish before summer’s end. There are only two rules: don’t write down something you are already going to do. For example, I’m already going to NYC, so I can’t include that in my list. Second, every time you do something on your list, document it. Take a picture and tell us about it! Finally finish knitting your first pair of sweater pants? I want to know!

Here’s my list:

• Go canoeing
• Take a hot air balloon ride (I've always wanted to do this!!)
• Write thank-you notes
• Cook a feast for my Grandparents
• Make a new friend
• Ride bikes with Dad
• Do a cannon ball
• Buy coffee for someone
• Finish the quilt I’m making with Mom
• Go geocaching

What's on your list?
