Before The Thomases Moved

These were taken in April of 2021, shortly before the Thomases moved.

There is something about saying, ‘We always do this,’ which helps keep the years together. Time is such an elusive thing that if we keep on meaning to do something interesting, but never do it, year would follow year with no special thoughtfulness being expressed in making gifts, surprises, charming table settings, and familiar food. Tradition is a good gift intended to guard the best gifts.
— Edith Schaeffer

2023

I know New Year’s Resolutions rarely stick, but I am going to give it a shot anyway— hopefully this year I will make time share here more. I have gotten several sweet messages from old photography friends wondering if we are doing ok. Us Flanagans are doing so well! I have zero complaints about life with teenagers/big kids, except nobody wants to go to bed by 9:30 like I do. These days I am the one who gets tucked in!

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. -Psalm 63:3
