Create Our World.

My friend, Angela and I walk around our Nation's Capitol together.

“Do not think that love , in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.  What we need is to love without getting tired.” – Mother Teresa

Meet Angela.

Angela and I worked at a school in Virginia together.  We are much different, but get along well.  

Angela has a daily planner that is color coded and she can make her own hummus.  She works at a single mother shelter near Washington DC.  

Angela and I stroll through Washington DC together and take many photographs.  It is good to see her again.

Jim is going fishing.

“No one is perfect – that’s why pencils have erasers.” – Unknown

Meet Jim.

Jim can’t speak or hear.  We communicate by writing on some scraps of paper he has in his truck.

Jim is going fishing near Knoxville.  He is from Edmonton, Kentucky.

Jim and I enjoy our drive through the mountains of Tennessee and use hand gestures to communicate.

After I took a photograph of him, my phone must have dropped into the floor of his car.  He sends me an email and is sending me my phone back.  Jim also caught 7 fish.

Jessie is a Jehovah's Witness.

Meet Jessie.

Jessie gives me a short ride through central Tennessee.  He is a Jehovah’s Witness and he explains his beliefs to me.  

Jessie is also a Kettle Korn salesman.  He leaves me with two bags of Kettle Korn.
