My name is Suzanne Thompson. I enjoy photography, dining at non-chain restaurants, trying new vegetarian recipes, reading, blogging, and exploring new locations...the three most valuable are family, faith, and friends.
I was born in England, moved to Ethiopia when I was four, then to America when I was seven. In American, I have lived in eight states. Bob and I were married in January 2010 and we currently live in California and North Carolina.
Today, I drove down Route 1. I stopped in at Carmel-by-the-Sea and walked along the beach. I could see the Wal-Mart First Tee Open being played at the Pebble Beach Course. On my way back down the beach, I was the little girl below flying a kite with her mom. I thought it was a...
Thursday evening was the kickoff to CPR (Creative Photography Retreat). Lisa Bearnson was the keynote speaker.

Today, I took one of my friends to California Pizza Kitchen for a birthday meal. They have GREAT salads there. My friend got the Mediterranean Salad and I got the Thai Crunch Salad (and had them add avocado). Not my pictures!

Once the steel framework is completed, then local churchmembers can finish the...
What a great time I had by going to ASI. The meetings were inspiring and it was fun to spend time with family and friends. Friday evening, the children and young people had the program. Some of the youth had been in the area for several months.
Today, a friend and I went to Laguna Beach. As we walked on the side streets, there were a lot of entrances to get to the little coves along the shore. It was great day. When we first arrived, it was very cloudy, but after awhile, the clouds left and the sun came out.
