What does a picture say to you?

I am not a photographer, but I do now how to use a good camera. I've even framed a few pictures-the flamingo below is one. I've decided to make this blog my photo blog...because...well, I'm on vacation so I don't have any college stuff to write about. Let's see if this works...

The Letter 'A'

I have come to love the letter 'A'.

There are many uses for the 'A':
A is for apple.
A is always, always, always the beginning of the alphabet. (duh)
A is for the ants that keep invading my house this summer-I think we've finally conquered them.
"The Scarlet Letter" was an 'A'. (Good book!)
A is the Health Dept. grade we want to see on a restaurant. (What goes through the mind when you see a 'B'?)
Ah...the 'A' grade-that's why I love the letter 'A'.

10 weeks of summer school (something I will never do again, hopefully) 2 intense classes, plus all the family stuff. And I get an 'A'. I give myself an 'A' for getting through it (yes, I am patting myself on the back) and my college transcripts will show an 'A'. In case you're wondering, I've earned quite a few 'A's lately.

Especially when I was so extremely close to throwing in the towel, giving up, and crawling into bed and never getting out, but no, I sit on the couch, or at the table, with laptop in front of me and keep on the college work.

And I get an 'A'.

Right now, I thank God for the letter 'A'.
