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.
In April 2010, there was a friendly cat that starting hanging around at work and getting scraps of food from those that felt sorry for him. He must have been someone’s house cat that had been abandoned as he was too tame to be a feral cat. The Friday of that week, I was the [...]
Today is my dad’s birthday. Here is a picture of him in Blackpool, England in 1961. My family moved to America in 1974 and now my parents live in Florida.
This evening, our friends from church made a delicious Italian meal for us. It is so sad to know that I’ll be leaving them all soon, but how nice to spend an nice evening with them before leaving.

When I go to the optometrist, I always find all the dials and instruments interesting. I was happy to learn that my eyes haven’t changed since my last visit.
Happy Wedding Anniversary Bob. Thanks for a wonderful year and I look forward to new adventures ahead in 2011. Thanks to everyone for sharing the special day with us and thank you Hanssie for the beautiful image.
When I was little (age 4), my family lived in Ethiopia for 3 1/2 years. When we lived there, we weren’t close to grocery stores and had to make almost everything from scratch. One of things my mom made were granola. As I grew up with such good cereal, I much prefer the homemade version [...]
My parents gave me this little alarm clock for my birthday years ago. My name is engraved on the front, and the lid closes making the whole thing look like a book. They gave it to me the year of my graduation, so just inside the cover, is a picture of me wearing my cap [...]
A couple years ago at Christmas time, my parents came to visit me. My dad would take me to work so they could use my car during the day. In the evening, he would drive me back home. My mom would have a great homemade dinner waiting for me, and the house would smell so [...]
