Burning CDs

Since 2010, I have been making 30-song playlists. Now and then, I burn these playlists to CDs for a good friend. Annie was very interested in learning how. 

I mostly add newer music to my playlists by going down numerous rabbit holes. Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and recommendations from friends on social media. The results are lovely.

I have made a lot of memories of finding newer music. I am happy to share these songs with good friends. I enjoy the nostalgic feeling of this process. I used to dub cassettes as well. Lol.

Pluto

One day, I decided to take portraits of the cutest astronomer in the entire solar system. Annie would need headshots for an ID card or a web page profile pic. She would love to work in an observatory one day. 

Annie studies each planet thoroughly. She loves each planet’s difference in size, matter, rotation speed, and orbit. She says humans are fortunate to have this period to live on Earth. 

New Year's 2024

 Annie, Judith, and I wish everyone who follows us a Happy 2024.

Christmas 2023

This year, Annie is very excited about Christmas. She was decorating, wearing the red and green colors, and was bubbly about the holiday season. Annie lifted my and Judith’s spirits and got us in the mood. 

From listening to old songs to watching classic Christmas movies, I thought a lot about my past when I was young. I feel fortunate to have grown up in a good place. Now, I care for Annie and Judith, and I love it. 

Annie got three different-sized stuffed tacos. The Empress got some clothing items for future shoots and an excellent book about the roaring 20s in Egypt. We see good things ahead and wish everyone the same. Happy Holidays! 

Cookies

Annie has been getting into the Christmas spirit in the last few weeks. She has been wearing lots of red and green colors and stocking up on cookies. Whether baked or store-bought, Annie loves round, cute, and sweet things. 

Annie tries an Oreo, then quickly takes her hands away from the dish, knowing she should only have one. “But they are so good!” She says. So, she tries a sugar cookie with green frosting. Annie cannot help but indulge in such delicious treats.
