In 2011 she asked me to take her photo because she needed one for the booklet the Dominican Retreat House in Grand Rapids was going to be publishing. 2011 is when she celebrated her 50th (?) anniversary with the Dominican order. I was sooo honored that she would ask me and my nerves were a mess the entire time. I was terrified of not doing a good job and she wouldn't be happy with them. Of course, she was thrilled with the pics because that's who she is/was.
2/2
my favorite memories.
She was an amazing woman with a bright happy personality. Each time I saw her she'd have a huge smile on her face and would open her arms to me.
She's the only aunt, out of 5 others, that is/was very special to me. She never judged, listened with intent, loved to share her stories.
That smile and those eyes. What a beautiful soul. Wherever she's at now, I'm sure her cat Percy is with her.
Thank you Auntie Sister for everything. I love you.
Sitting watching the news this morning as they're talking about Eurovision. YAY!!!
Then my phone rang and it was my cousin, whom I had been thinking about this morning.
My Aunt Teresita has passed away. She's a Dominican nun who lived in Peru for 15+ years and sparked my interest in South American culture.
She was diagnosed w/ dementia in 2012, I think & the nuns called her back to Michigan to remain. I was able to visit her a few times when I was living in IN and those are some of

Watching Estonia in her long blue trailing scarf has me thinking I'm seeing Rachel MacAdams in Eurovision: Fire Saga
And it starts. 😖 😡
I was talking with my physical therapist, this week, about how badly the winds here in NM are affecting my nerves and she mentioned that last week when we had two days of this crap, the office & patients were all irritable and on edge.
She showed me there are now Bluetooth headbands where the "headphones/buds?" are flat on the inside and so these might help me tune out the wind when I go to bed.

I'm in the process of adding my remaining stock of photo jewelry to my ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/susanseephotography
The photos aren't exactly all that great as I took them over a decade ago and didn't have a good grasp of shooting jewelry at the time.
Feel free to ask ?'s if you have any! 😊

These two are just so WEIRD! For the past week they’ve suddenly decided they no longer like their dish and want to eat out of the other’s. Maddie’s bowl is in the rear and Smits’ bowl is in the front.
The even sillier thing is that I’m now feeding them the exact same food!

*I had to stop buying the weight-management food for Smits cause it’s keeps increasing in price.
Been a busy week and my body is pooped. 🥱Chomped down a 100 THC dark chocolate square and now going to bed early. Hopefully my back and hip will be happier on the morning.
Happy Friday to all and sleep well or enjoy that first cup of coffee. 😊 Either way, enjoy this velvety soft abstract pic of mine. 😁

G’morning all. I need to have a chat with Mr. Smits about his Springtime obsession with waking me up at 6 a.m. 😖
His belly is now full of breakfast and he’s resumed his surveying of the world to make sure he misses no critter.
As Johnny said, "I've been everywhere man." Servant to Maddie 😽 & Smitty 😸. Vagabond, #Photog, #Socialist & loyal as all fuck to those that matter.
