Christmas Wishes

It is a time of year that we remember our past and wonder about the future.  No matter how old you are, your first Christmas memories are those of your childhood.  Sneaking down the stairs, seeing the bag of oranges under the tree, getting that special pony blanket with his name one it (Mr. Butch).  There were Christmas Eves that Dad hitched up the horses and we went for a sleigh ride or he dressed up as Santa and we went and visited all our old friends, especially Orville and Fannie Morgan.

Then you remember your children's Christmas moments.  Didi, wrapping up everything she could find in her room, placing them under the tree and then handing them out to everyone on Xmas morning.  Her feelings were that the more presents under the tree, the better.

Keith receiving his Raleigh bike at ten years of age, assured that there really was a Santa, because Mom and Dad would never get him something this good. 

You laugh about the Christmas family dinner at Mom and Dads when cousin Greg hid the coconut cream pie so it wouldn't be eaten until he got back for supper. Time moves on.  Dad is no longer with us nor is brother James, who enjoyed giving presents at Christmas more than Santa. Our Christmas memories never grow dim.  Now we are excited about creating those special memories for our own family and our grandchildren.

As all of us prepare for this Christmas Celebration, may your memories of the past bring you joy and your future hold dreams fulfilled.  Merry Christmas from Betty and Ted.

A Note of Thanks

Dear Betty,


My head is still spinning from the EPNet workshop, lol. I wanted to write you a note to thank you for sharing so much knowledge. I fell like this experience was HUGE for me. I learned so much from you and everyone else in the workshop. What an experience too. I cannot believe we covered so much and had so many fantastic photo opportunities! I am still pinching myself, lol.

Thank you again for leading the workshop, teaching, and sharing so much. You are a riot, love your sense of humour and loved seeing you in action, you were GREAT!!!! Thank You!

Sincerely,
Heather

Nice To Hear

Hi Betty,

Just a note to say Thank you again for the wonderful workshop in North Carolina. It was such an inspiring weekend for me and taught me so much. You have a special gift not only for photography and light but for understanding people. I really appreciated you sharing that at the workshop. I want to be you when I grow up :)

Great Experience in South Carolina

South Carolina was my destination the first week of November to teach photography at The Equine Photographers Fall Workshop.  One of the locations was Chateau du Cheval, with rolling hills, exquisite stables and grounds and a ballroom where we photographed models with horses on stage and under the chandeliers.  Truly something to remember..

She's Got Attitude

Maggie, our special little package is now almost two months old.  What spunk and atitude she exhibits.  She sure has made life around Sugarbush Farm interesting!
