I heard a sermon once and the pastor said that each chapter of our life is represented by a pearl.
As we travel on our journey we add more and more pearls until.
In our old age we have A String of Pearls to enjoy in reflection of our beautiful memories.
Such a lovely reflection, especially since we'll be hosting our daughter Ashley's baby shower this weekend. So many pearls have been added since that photo was taken in 1983.
It's funny how somethings never change. I still love the beach and I love photography even more now.
I hope this post inspires you to reflect on some beautiful pearls on your own string of pearls. It's Monday and you know what that means...Mosaic Monday. I am sure you will find lots of photography inspiration. So, please stop by and visit Mary from Little Red House.
I have used Kim Klassen's textures and backgrounds on all of my photos on this post. Kim surprised us with a beautiful collection of textures front the test kitchen. So, I got busy using a few of them.
There's lots of new things going on her Cafe Blog. Check out Texture Tuesday for a free and easy eDition.
That's awesome, Karen. Doesn't even look like you've aged at all! Incredible. Good luck with the baby shower. Susan
Beautiful post!!! Thank you for sharing it, I will spend some time reflecting my string of pearls. Have an enjoyable week and good luck with the shower:)
Susan is right. One finds it hard to believe that it is 29 years later. You just keep getting better!
I like the sentiment about the pearl...
I like the pearl theory and I shall think about how many pearls I have for reflection.
You've certainly aged well, you can be proud of that.
Beautiful collage. And yes I agree some things never change! ^_^

Wonderful post! Agree that some things never change. And also find that some things improve with age :) Such similar shots, beautiful mosaic.
I love the pearl metaphor. And wonderful photos of you on the beach.
Have a wonderful week, Karen.
Lovely post and sentiment on pearls. You look like you have not changed, nice to stay so young. Have a great day!
I am so glad that over these past 4 years of blogging,you have INSPIRED ME. If blogger friends are pearls, and I believe you are, then my necklace is full. Lovely my dear, just lovely....Anita
Sweet friend,
THANK YOU for wanting a chance to win my shoe. They are quite lovely in person, and I will put your name in! Wasn't that Paris party so much fun? Gathering us all together was the objective, and I will never for it.
HAPPY DAY CREATING! Anita

Karen- What a beautiful post. I love that you have both those photos- Life really is like pearls strung together, isn't it? I think as I age what comes to mind is pearls of wisdom from what I have learned along life's highway- Blessings- xo Diana
I love it, Karen. For a while now, I have referred to my collection of quotes--including some of my own thoughts--by that title "String of Pearls." I love how you have used those meaningful words here.
Thank you for sharing.
Much love,
Marcia
Beautiful, thoughtful memorable images and words to contemplate~
