A few of my favorite "things" -- people and places!

 One of my favorite sights in early morning in Quito.  Sunrise on Cotopaxi.
 Some of "my girls"  Love, love, love these ladies! Dana, Cameron, Christy and Stephanie.
 Austin and Riley!  You guys are the best!
 Gina, Amber, and Sandi, praying for Amber before the morning she arrived home for wedding!
 Sandi and Cameron, special women, special friends!
 Bob and Janice!  I think we are sure that this is good food! 
 Grammy Cline, Rheanna and Natalie!  Love you all!
 Christy eating a Caracol at Corfu out in the valley!  Two favorites in one picture!
 Marlo, Christy and me!  Enjoying a fun afternoon for girls out!
 Lucy and Amber!  Beauty inside and out!
 AWWWW!   I will always love this picture....favorites!
 The wedding train humming bird outside my kitchen window. 
 Leah and Jess, girls I coached, loved and think the world of!
 The other half of my brain--Gina!
 Hmmm, think they are related.
 The best thing is when favorites from two different worlds meet.
 Favorite family, and man, oh, man can they sing!  
 Fuschia's more beautiful here than anywhere.
 My old garden!
 Same, Isla del Sol--a little slice of heaven....definitely a favorite!

Natalie, me, and Gladys!  Love this place and love this lady! 

These are some of the people, places and things that I am thankful for this morning.  It was a walk down memory lane, through my photos, and treasured memories.  Gratitude and things and people I am thankful for will be a theme throughout the summer (and my life!  Thanks to Ann Voskamp and the book, One Thousand Gifts.  I am thankful to be here, and thankful for all that I am experiencing, the good and the hard.  God is forming and molding me through each experience--fodder!  (for the ISF friends :)  )
