We had all sizes, colors, shapes, and smiles to photograph!

Dog Days of Summer brought us a room full of food, and goodies. We are overwhelmed by the wonderful donations. During the event we were told of a program with Meals on Wheels. We animal lovers understand, the people with pets who receive meals will feed the pets first and then have what is left over. So they take pet food donations to deliver as well. Today Jen and Steve took all the donations to them and they were so happy to have the truck load of food! We are so Blessed everyday by our clients, their families, and their pets. Thank you for sharing!

It has been a great week! Started with so much fun on Muddy Monday! The kids were great and the weather was perfect. On Wednesday I spoke to a class at TTU that is studying wedding and event planning. The assignment is to plan several weddings in a short period of time. If you know me, then you know it was no problem for me to talk for an hour! They are a great class! At least I had fun. Now, tomorrow & Saturday we have Dog Days of Summer! We all love dogs and it should be great. This special is also a way to collect dog food donations for the animal shelter. I will be sure to add photos of the fun! Have a great weekend!

As many of you know, I was a nurse for years before changing careers and becoming a photographer. I worked in critical care areas most of my days in nursing. So, when Covenant asked me to photograph Dr. Michael DeBakey in 2004, I was honored to cover the event. When I heard of his passing last Friday, I understood the great loss. He would have been 100 years old in September 2008. What a life legacy he has left. These hands have performed over 60,000 heart surgeries. That is more than we can truly comprehend. He was 95 years young the day I photographed him. He was still working and developing new products to save lives. Most of all he was a man of faith and let us all know that as much as he could do as a physician, it was not up to us whether a man lives or dies. That decision was in much greater hands.
