"Slowing Time's Passage"

This image portrays a child (my granddaughter, Lauren Grace, at age 3) tossing fall leaves into the air. We all know how quickly time passes… As much as I enjoy watching my grandchildren grow up, there are many times I wish I could slow down the speed of this progression.

Lauren Grace is now eight, going on nine, and continuing to mature into a wonderful young lady.
