In 2012, the Richmond Virginia Art Community joined with national street artists to create murals on the flood walls along the James River Canal (media coverage is here and here). Because it was on the path I walked during lunch, I had the opportunity to watch as it was being created and later, the final…
Here are some highlights from last year (Nancy’s 2014 Yearbook!): My Favorite Posts Some of my favorite posts from 2014 were: A Gallery of My Daughter Growing Up – this was for a weekly photo challenge on endurance, of which I think parenthood is the ultimate test.

I love them all, but handling guilt is probably one of the biggest differences between them. Dog #1 feels guilt about everything, whether he did it or not. When…
These last several weeks have been unseasonably warm. I enjoy walking during lunch for my exercise and thought you might like to see Brown’s Island and the canal off the James River in downtown Richmond. This is the bridge I take across to get to the island, shown from the far end. Click here for…
