Good Morning All

Some awesome photos posted/linked here in the past few hours...I am privileged to be associated with such wonderfolk talent

Meghan and her Aunt got here about 1000 yeaterday. We visited with Joe and Jules. Then went shopping for the rest of the day. Ended up at Fair Lakes Mall and the Cheesecake Factory. We shared five different appetizers and then all had a diferent slice of cheesecake. It was "pass the plates and dig in." Yum! We sent them back to Harve DeGrace, MD at 9PM...got a "safe home" call at 11:30PM...great day and a wonderful time. Today is chill out day...going on the prowl looking for photo ops.

Sounds like a fun day. I'll be happy when cool weather returns so we can go to Cheesecake Factory here. Parking is problematic, and that usually means a long walk to get there. When it's 110-115, you look for places where it's only a few steps to the restaurant door. I would thoroughly enjoy a 'chill' right now. Enjoy your 'chill out' day.

Morning all!

Kathy:: She's beautiful!!

Morning, Tommy.

Is today 'leaky roof' day?

Hey Tom... was supposed to be... but it decided to rain... so in a way, I guess it still is a leaky roof day... haha...

Hi Tom,

We were susprised last night...walked into the Cheesecake Factory ay 5:45PM and it was half empty? Must be a sign of the hard times? CF is not cheap by any measure...my bill for the four of us (with no alcohol) $95!

Hope you and Lois have a wonderful day, and you get a cool breeze or two

Hi Tommy,

We got a major rain storm last night...beautiful lightning show! Do be careful when you tackle that roof.

$95? How did you get away with that? I fed Patrick, Dan and the boys and me and went to $70 for dinner alone. We only ordered 1 piece of cheesecake and I ate most of it when we got home.

Kathy, beautiful pictures.

Tom, love to hear what you and Lois are up to today.

Jim, you are the best, most spoiling grandpa ever! Your grandkids are so lucky to have you.

I'm off to church and to the temple after for pictures. Hope everyone is well today. I will be on and off for the next little while.

Quiet day here.

I'm making a batch of meatballs in preparation for (anticipated) spaghetti and meatballs for lunch. I think there's a NASCAR race on today, so I'll end up watching that while doing some paperwork in the office.

Lois will probably end up paddling around the house doing laundry, cleaning, and maybe a little reading. Hopefully later today we will go see Harry Potter.

Stay tuned.

Good morning everyone!

Thanks for the nice comments on my Marley pictures!

I am editing last weeks shoots today and then heading for the city to hopefully buy some new clothes. I hate clothes shopping! I go about once a year and then wear the clothes until they are nearly threadbare. So now it's time for some new ones.

My son brought Marley over this morning for a visit. I don't get to see him much because his work schedule is such weird hours, so when he does show up it makes my day!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello all! I just got home from church, and it is very hot here today!

I got some lightning shots on Friday that I am going to edit today, and I hope they turn out great, I will post them later.

I hear ya. It was so hard for me to have to buy clothes when I was losing weight because I knew they were only temporaries. It just killed me to spend money on something like that and I bought very few items.
Once I got down to where I am now, I went into Gottschalks and bought every item at 60% off as they were going out of business

Jim, i wish I could be back there with you at the Cheesecake Factory...our closest one is 50 miles away! Hope you have found something fun to shoot!

Hi Suzie, Brooke, Tommy & Tom!!

Hi Suzie, Brooke, Tommy & Tom!!

Hi, Mo.

The Gottschalks 'going out of business' sale was something of a joke, and it seemed to go on forever. I'm glad you were able to find things. I was looking for kitchen things, and all the good stuff was only marked down 20%. I can do that any day of the week at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.

Here are the lightning shots that I got on Friday! These two turned out really well! Let me know what you think.

Nice Brooke Love the colors! They look a little OOF though... When I used to shoot lightning, I used to use manual focus and just set the lens on infinity... is that what you did? It used to work very well for me... Anyway, still nice... I love lightning!

Yeah they are a little OOF, I did that, but it didn't work very well this time haha, I think part of the problem was that I was in a really big hurry, the storm was ending, and I just wanted to catch some.
