My WORD, it's been a week around here! Last week I bought a new laptop...had to get it set up and ready to fly. Blogger then decides to poop out on us (some worse than others). Crystal's laptop had to be rescued from the brink of the dreaded "blue screen"...then I had to make-ready, my old laptop to give to my granddaughter, Samantha. I now believe I'm ready to go to work for HP! Learning, by Fire...I love it.NOW! See that donut? It's National Donut Week here in the States! Oh Yeah! After the past week I've had...I was ready for some Donuts! (Really, ANY excuse will do...for a donut). So, I want you to go out and buy a donut and celebrate with the rest of the Nation. Dunkin' Donuts will give you a free one with the purchase of a drink...Hahaaaa....Now this is a celebration I can really sink my teeth into...
Now, on to other business...I've been trying to decide if I want to continue doing the Brenda Photo Challenges. Several years ago I was "challenged" by Miz Brenda to Get Off My Butt and Get Out There! As a new blogger I was enchanted by her photos and even though she was working full time and raising a family, she still found time to see the world around her through the lens of her camera. She has always been SO encouraging...hence...the Brenda Photo Challenge Blog.
Well, as time has moved on, so have we all. I'm busier than ever as I know you are. But! I AM now out there and learning as much as I can about photography. I LOVE it! SO...the short and sweet of it is, I'm done. I have enjoyed the challenges, and I have appreciated YOUR participation IN them, SO much! I have learned SO much from You! Thank you Brenda for my start. Everything I've done since then was because you sat beside me in spirit, reminding me to CARRY YOUR CAMERA EVERYWHERE GIRL!!!...Hahahaa... NOW....The GOOD NEWS! I just heard from Brenda and she wants to continue with the Challenges!! Wonderful news! SO, As Soon as I have all her new information on how to get to her new link, I'll post it for you here and on the old BPC Blog! (above link)
SO, that's about it for now...It's Friday, I have my coffee and donut AND my camera at the Ready! Enjoy the day Guys!
UPDATE!
Here's Brenda's NEW BLOG LINK for her Photo Challenges!

Why in the world did someone not tell me it was donut week or month. Whatever. I walked right past some donuts in the grocery store this morning. What was I thinking!!!!

Happy weekend!

Oh my, that's a sinful donut....my mouth is watering!
Have a great weekend!
whoa, what a week is right. my laptop fell to the floor the other night, and so far, it's free of any symptoms. keeping my fingers crossed. I was told that as long as it was off at the time, it'll be fine. it was off!!!
I just knew you were going to suggest I eat a donut when I saw that photo. don't you know I'm counting calories these days? I'm determined to lose the weight I want to lose and then I'm going to go eat everything I want to eat just for one day. dreamin'.
that donut sure does look good though. Have one for me. and have a great weekend my friend.
{{{hugs}}}
You did a great job with the Photo Challenge Miz Donna and thanks for all your hard work! That donut sure does look yummy!!
I raise my donut to you, my friend! That is, as soon as I find me a Dunkin Donuts shop.
Have a great weekend too!
I had me a free donut this morning at dunkin donuts lol. Yay for Brenda for taking up the challenge!
Mmmm donuts...Have a great weekend Donna.
Lord have mercy, that chocolate donut looks good! Hope you had a great celebration, LOL. I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking charge of the photo challenge for the past couple of year!!! The regular participation has definitely helped me grow as a photographer and brought me many new friends on the net! I am forever grateful to you, sweetie. I am so happy that Miz Brenda is taking over the hostess duties and that the challenges will continue.
National Donut Day? What a day to be Canadian. I shoulda swum for it. :)
I missed out on the free donuts! Not that I needed them! Lol! Actually, I'm sitting here waiting for my burger and fries... hubby bringing home dinner!
Thanks for the info on the Photo Challenge. Haven't had time for it, but hope to get back to picture taking one day soon!
Hugs!

That is one damn fine looking donut.
Have a great weekend.
Donuts are great! And DD seriously IS one of my most favorite places! Their coffee is to die for!! Fortunately, there are several within driving distance!! Thanks for the tip on the free donut! Your photos Rock Donna!! Glad you got your new laptop all squared away! Isn't it FUN??
Well shoot,it is 12:18am and I live in a small town with no DONUT SHOP at all. It sure looks good though. I have enjoyed the 2 BPC that I have participated in and I will continue to participate. Thank you!!
Hi Donna, even though I have been extreamly slack of late I can always be guarenteed that you have paid me a visit and left a loving message. Bless you for that.
I have to have a doughnut now that you posted that scrumtious picture and can I say that it was a pleasure to join in the fun with the photo challange and hopefully will do again soon. Have fun with your new laptop and happy photographing. XXOO
Coffee, camera, and a donut ... it doesn't get much better than that! I got a new HP Pavilion laptop ten days ago. For work mainly, as all of my court reporter software is Windows-based ... my beloved iMac serves as my creative outlet. But I do love my HP -- the first laptop I've ever owned -- because of the freedom and mobility it affords. Happy weekend, Donna dear!!
I KNEW it was NDD, but then I FORGOT!!! :)
Have a great weekend. ((Hugs))
A whole week??? Pass the pink box!!
Looks yummy. Nice job.
you would think that after almost 14 years of making donuts 5 mornings a week 52 weeks a year i would be sick of them. you would be wrong :) I want one of those right now.
I'm with you, Donna. No excuse is ever needed to enjoy a donut. LOL
Glad to hear your laptop is up and running! I'm sorry you had such difficulty trying to post to my blog. Darned blogsite anyway. It looks like the problem might be solved now? Hope so!
