Some people have the wonderful knack of finding interesting things out in the world and on the Internet. For myself, I can search and search and never find "different" things but others have that great knack. My friend Vicki came across this heading-decoration called a word cloud by wordle. It will turn your blog feeds into a word-cloud decoration with the more frequent words being enlarged. Alternatively, you can add particular words yourself and as you can see above...it will reproduce your spelling mistakes too lol. I just highlighted and fed in a load of blogs and this is what it created. There are all sorts of fonts, a variety of layouts and an array of colours. I think the word cloud tool is based on a similar principle to a saturation/hue/contrast tool. In the wordle gallery there are some very artistic word clouds produced by school students. I have no idea how they did them lol.
These family stories represent our ancestors, our present day family and our friends. Many have taken place during years and even decades past and others have only recently happened. A few have been passed down from generation to generation, often discussed at family get-togethers These memorable stories of our lives and of others in our family take on special importance because they are true. In a way they will become family heirlooms held in the heart not the hand. They are a gift to each generation that preserves them by remembering them and passing them on. I especially wanted to record events from my own life so that future generations of our family will come to know us.
Me - Through the lens of a camera I came to see the world rather than just look at it. Then a friend encouraged me to put words to those photos so as they could follow our travels. I have never looked back!
John - husband of 30 years and best friend, a logical thinker, gentle and compassionate by nature. We share fate's joys and sorrows together, embrace life, explore the country and share our world.
Kimberly - bubbly, vivacious, empathetic and one of the most honest people I know. She is a constant joy to be around.
Alex - reserved, sensitive, caring and generous...the thinker whom I am enormousy proud to call my son
Ben - considerate, selfless and mature beyond his years, left this life all too young. Benny taught us just how short life can be so that we must embrace it.
