Wait .... I might need more than one entry!

I submitted this to Schnacks weather shots - - It's not the best composition, I had the camera in one hand and the phone in the other - but look at those colors!

Awww...... (too bad we couldn't get Grandpa in the picture.)

Well after the Odneals on Thursday, I thought I was prepared for a family of only 4! Ah - not so much.... the little guy took an instant dislike to the camera! (or was it me?) So this is a composite with the little boy added in - still not good but trust me - this was him cooperating!

and apparently deep thinking nephews!

I went with my friend Bev on her Senior shoot yesterday. She still shoots film, so we traded off with my digital camera. I bought it from my business - April got a new camera - and Now Bev is going to buy it from me! Woohoo! I think she liked the instant gratification part of seeing your results right away, but it helped when we discovered her flash and strobes would work with it also. So now - I can get my dream camera -sadly not as good (or new) as Aprils - but a step or two up! This lil' gal was a trooper today - it was COLD!!!!!! top 2, I took - Bev took the cute over the shoulder.

I hate it! I really do - prefer to shop online (which I did this a.m.) But..... yesterday my friend Lisa and I went to Des Moines. A little road trip with a mission. I wanted this leather (like) bench and the only store in Iowa was in DM. Ain't it cute? And on-sale. I also had a -$10 coupon - even better. We went to Jordan Creek mall also, went in an Apple Store - that's where I could drop a lot of money- like I haven't already spent all my Mac money! We also went to a Homemakers store in Urbandale - HUGE! and some unusual furniture. So here's my bench - will replace the pink one that didn't really go.

Finally got their metals done!
