All Alone...

And I L*O*V*E*D every minute of it.

It lasted about 4.5 hours.

It was quiet.

It was loud.

It was everything I wanted.

I took my sweet time.

I drove myself south.

I stopped at Sonic.

I got a LARGE Lemon-Berry Slush.

It was Happy Hour.

It made me happy.

I browsed.

I went to Lowe's.

I shopped.

I went.

To Hobby Lobby.

All by myself.

Yep.

I did.

That may seem like such a small thing.

But when you live in a house of ALL guys.

It's Divine.

I bought a new box, giraffe print, so I can

organize my pics to scrapbook.

I bought a new tote for my

scrapbook paper.

I have a complete addiction to paper.

I bought silk Sunflowers.

I love them.  I can't wait to get

them in a vase.

I bought that wild fabric.

My dear m-i-l is going to make me

a cover for my camera strap.

I went for the 50% off scrapbook

sticker sale and came home with

3 little packages of stickers.

It's ok.  Remember, I shopped.

{smile}

We had another big snow this past week.

No school on Wednesday

CB LOVED playing in it.

Today, it was 55 degrees and sunny

After church, we went and shot skeet.

CB is pretty good.

He loves it.

ZB is also pretty salty at skeet shoot.

He also loves it.

He went rabbit hunting too.

The fruits of our labor! lol

The awesome thrower. 

Hooks up to a car battery and you are set

to rock and roll!

We've had a great weekend.  Enjoying the S*U*N and warm

temps.  So thankful for the moisture, but so HAPPY

to see the snow melt away.

Blessings this week to each one who stops by my blog.

Last Saturday

I woke up early.  As usual.
I decided to get up and study. 
No, I'm not taking any classes, but I should be.
I got my coffee and got online and went straight to
Digital Photography website and started in reading about
aperture, depth of field and shutter priority.
I mean, I've had my camera nearly 9 months
and hardly gotten off of AUTO {grin}

So, more coffee, and I began to make myself some notes
Cuz that's how I roll.
Reading, writing, reading, reading, reading
and hope that I finally get it!
I decided to take my camera with me to do chores.
So I could practice. Practice. practice
I took lots of pictures, some good, some not so good
I am certainly not Great with my camera out of auto mode
but I'm learning...and I ended up with a few shots I liked.

This particular picture I liked
Why you say???
Well, because I wanted the blurred effect.
And I got it.  On purpose! {smile}

I am fairly certain I have forgotten most of what I wrote down
and supposedly learned last Saturday.  But.  I will go again
and keep practicing. 

For Your Friday

whatever you are doing and read this.











Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with Thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love
endures forever
his faithfulness continues through
all generations.
Psalm 100





May you be Blessed this day and be Joyful!
