please tell me....

that you're not tired of my jumping photos
~because i could do this all day long~
these two sweeties
are
from tallahassee
and
so is this group
~i think they are all students~
if you've ever been to seaside
then i know you've shopped here
at
~
they closed for a tiny bit after the holidays and this past week they were back to work setting up the most incredible vignettes
~
so
sophie and i strolled through the market everyday
watching and drooling
{me not her, over the new clothes}
and
quickly made friends with managers
ann and morgan
who
wanted to jump for me
when they found out that that's what i do
~they are too sweet~

these two unsuspecting beach walkers
from ft. walton beach
or shoot
was it panama city
were more than willing to set down their beers and jump for me
~guys are so easy~
this is judy and her grand-daughter. we met judy the first day we walked into town and since she spends the winters in seaside, we've been lucky enough to talk to her almost everyday.
she really wanted to jump for one of my jumping photos, but i told her that i just couldn't take the chance that she might fall or twist an ankle. now granted, she rides her bike everyday and is amazingly young for her 70 plus years. but sometimes i just have to draw the line.
whatever her grand-daughter eats for breakfast, though. well, i want some of that.
wow. can this girl jump.
and
of course we had to throw in a few cartwheels
too
this family is from henderson, kentucky. which is just barely a breath away from where we lived in newburgh {evansville} indiana for 8 years. so we had lots to talk about.
at first
the little guys weren't so sure that jumping was what they wanted to do.
~actually i'm not really so sure dad wanted to jump either~
but
when mom said "come on, let's do it" they all joined in on the fun

aren't they the cutest
~
and
believe or not
it's the younger kids
already close to the ground
that have the hardest time jumping

so you can imagine how happy i was
to see the "air" they were able to get
{and to see the seagull in the upper left corner}
~
thanks to all my jumpers. you make me smile until my cheeks my hurt.
and guess what. i have more. see. i told you i could do this all day.
the rest of the photos will be up a bit later in the week.
~
ps...the packers are going to the super bowl. it's good to be a cheesehead.
AND
this information below, from kate is so helpful, that i might be publishing it a few times, as i really want to respond to you when you leave me a comment. but i can't and i don't want you to think i'm ignoring you. because i'm not. honest. you just have to change something.
~
here's the information
thanks kate

Bloggers out there ~ you’ve seen it. It’s the ‘Noreply-Comment@Blogger.com’ message that appears sometimes after you click on reply to a reader’s comment.

I often respond directly to reader’s comments, but there’s that little grinch who always seems to show up like an unwanted guest when I have something I really want to say to someone.

There is a way to help rid this little problem and it’s so easy to do. Readers who have blogs can do the following:

  • Open your blog and click on the Customize link. It’s in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
  • Click on the Dashboard link, also in the upper right hand corner.
  • Now click on Edit Profile, on the left hand size of the screen right next to your picture.
  • This takes you to the Edit User Profile screen.
  • Look in the Privacy section.
  • Check the box that says, “Show my e-mail address”.
  • In the Identity section, enter in an e-mail address.
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on Save Profile.

And that’s how it’s done. This will rid the world of Noreply-Comment@Blogger.com. Unless you wish to remain stealth, of course. And that I will understand.

  5. Some of those jumps are pretty high! I love that you are bringing back childhood fun to the adults. I can imagine me asking someone to jump. They'd say 'what are ya nuts?' but you...who in their right mind can say 'no' to you! Beautiful shots dear lady.

  9. Love love LOVE the shots, Keep em coming.

    I have been ranting about no reply comment and trying to get the word out in every way I can. I even put a note in my sidebar to say I won't attempt to contact a blogger anymore if they are no reply comment. Having to go to their profile, find their blog, leave a comment about their comment...all so that I can answer the question they left etc... NOPE no more.

    and last, ah, sorry but Steelers all the way :D . ( grew up in western PA an hour from Pittsburgh during the years of the "iron curtain" defense and the 4 rings.."one for the thumb and all that"

    but I love cheese..lol

  16. Love these shots! I have a friend who has someone take a photo of her jumping in every place she travels to - and got us in on one. Fun! The reply instructions were helpful - but don't apply to typepad users, unfortunately.

  17. Did you know that a doctor says that if we women jump 100 times each day, we greatly lower our risk of osteoporosis and maintain our bone mass/bone density? See, beth, it IS good! "Go 'head and jump! JUMP!"
