23 days, 14 hours and 22 minutes

I spent the day with The Puzzle People. They hired me to come in and take pictures of their business for the ‘virtual tour’ part of their website.

Last year I was lucky enough to be able to go with Alyx and her class when they got the real tour and made their name puzzles. I took lots of pictures and this year when Shea went for her tour I sent the CD with Shea to give to the owners. They called me and requested that I come out and take some shots.

When I got there I was reminded of the bond they have with each other. The love they have for each other is almost overwhelming.
While one of them was talking to me, the other gazed proudly at them while they spoke.

After I had got all the shots of the business I was invited to their home to get some shots of the shop they have there.
Their home is a reflection of what they feel for each other. Their home is a 2 room cabin on an acre of land that is covered with flowers and trees. They have a stream that runs through the property. The cabin wasn’t spotless and huge, it was their ‘home’. It had a huge patio that looked out on their land. Every ‘ideal’ spot on their property had two chairs for them to rest in…together.

We walked around and I took pictures as we walked along. I don’t think they are expecting to get 600 pictures of them, their dogs, their grand children and their home. I enjoyed their company though. I didn’t want to leave because what they gave me was a calmness in my soul that I haven’t had in a long time. I wasn’t afraid for a single moment. I wanted to soak up all the goodness they have and take it home.

As I was leaving, Pat said, “I hope you have the perfect wedding!”

I said, “It will be perfect because I’m going to marry my best friend.”

1. Your Puzzle

2. Your Best (Your best what? YOU DECIDE!!)

3. Something “Old” (the weeks following will have a part of the wedding theme; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue)
