5. How does this old photo make you feel?<br />
	<br />
This photo makes me feel both sad and hopeful. I took this picture during an Easter weekend of soul searching . . . was I actually going to move from West Texas to New York City? (By August of that same year, I was living in Brooklyn. I had no job and knew 2 people). Thirteen years later, I am still in Brooklyn! I miss that girl who would just up and decide to move! It was wonderful, though, to be reminded of her and that part of my spirit.<br />
<br />
6. Is this what you expected to see?<br />
	<br />
I honestly had no idea what to expect!<br />
<br />
7. What kind of memories does this photo bring back?<br />
	<br />
This picture reminds me of the stark beauty of West Texas: the big ole skies with lots of stars. Landscapes of browns and reds and greens and blues, punctuated with bright wildflowers. Also, the love and laughter I experienced while living there. I count my friends from West Texas as life long ones.<br />
<br />
8. How do you think others will respond to this photo?<br />
	<br />
I suspect that it might evoke a nostalgia for the West, both the scenery and the spirit. I know it does for me!

4. What are we looking at here?<br />
<br />
After a day of frolicking on the beach, this is my sister who is reading to her two children and our niece.<br />
<br />
5. How does this old photo make you feel?<br />
	<br />
As all the kiddos in the picture are my nieces and nephew, it makes me feel amazingly proud. One is in the Air Force Academy, one is a wedding planner in a Colorado Rocky Mountain resort, and one just got accepted into a Phd program for Astrophysics. I bet my sister (who is reading to them) thinks that she might have had a little something to do with it. :) When I showed her the picture, she sighed and said, "Oh, that was always one of my favorite things to do with those kids!"<br />
<br />
6. Is this what you expected to see?<br />
<br />
I honestly had no idea what to expect!<br />
<br />
7. What kind of memories does this photo bring back?<br />
	<br />
Whenever possible, our family goes to Destin, Florida. We have for years. And even though this is not a beach picture, it sure reminds me of all those trips we have taken over the years.<br />
<br />
8. How do you think others will respond to this photo?<br />
	<br />
Who doesn't love to be snuggled up and read to? I hope it brings that feeling of security and safety and wrapped around the people that you love.
