Ferris Wheel Fun

"I see nothing in space
 as promising
 as the view
 from a Ferris wheel. "
E.B. White

I know I've been absent from blog land this summer. 
I'd like to give you a good excuse, but I really don't have any. 
Just trying to keep a better balance in my life, I guess. 
Summer is winding down, so I'll be visiting all of you more often. 

Thank you so much for your sweet birthday wishes for my boys :)
Blessings,
Marcia

    Great photos, Marcia! The ferris wheel looks like a lot of fun even to this senior citizen! Looks like your good-looking guys are having fun, too.

    I so agree with the quote, smart man! I get butterflies just looking at the Ferris wheel! I am glad you are having a good summer, as it should be, :D

    Love the quote, but that ferris wheel would do me in! I can't do heights...at all.

    Can't wait until you're posting more often again. :) I think we've all slowed down this summer.

    That is a pretty ferris wheel with lovely views indeed. I took a picture of one here the other day but it is looking a bit forlorn and faded from the weather. Hope all is well, best wishes, Tammy

    Blogging takes up too much time doesn't it? I know I'm constantly having to balance it. Enjoy the warmer days with your family. ox

    I love your photos Marcia. You do a great job editing. I am working on learning to edit. I have a hard time on the ferris wheel. It scares the life out of me! I will do any rollercoaster but not ferris wheels. :)

    Don't worry about blogging...just 'enjoy' the summer days with your family! That's most important!

    Love your photos! I used to enjoy riding on the ferris wheel. Thank you for sharing! :)

    Love this post. No need to explain. I think everyone has been a little slower to post and comment this summer. Glad you are enjoying the family. Stop by for a giveaway if you get two seconds.

    That is a great quote. It has been way too many years since I have been on a Ferris Wheel. You captured the view so well with your photos. Great shots.
    I think time has gotten away from me this summer too. Fall is a great season to regroup and get things in order before the holidays are here.

    Hi Marcia,
    I have been absent a lot too so I know just how you feel!
    I think other bloggers understand because we all have lives outside of blogging!
    Love your pics!
    I used to love to go on ferris wheels but now I just get queasy.
    But I still love looking at them!
    Hugs friend,
    Cindy
