#love it!!!!
I no longer have a camera. Just what comes with my phone. Yes, I often wish for higher quality images.

Love that name, Esperanza, be it a town, or a state of mind - very fitting for you and Michel in this new phase of life!

Esperanza is a Spanish word that means hope or expectation....This is a feminine noun, which means that one uses the article la, or la esperanza.

A children's book has a heroine with that name:
Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan

You are rising, Rhonda, from that ash heap of Appalachia....or whatever was in that heap .... ash, toxins, snakes, some good stuff, sure, but mostly dark and soul-draining stuff, like Harry Potter's Dementors.

Full speed ahead - may your path be smooth, leading only to good things. :)
