Happy Friday...


Well, it's Friday and the start to a three day weekend for us here in the States.  Labor Day weekend.  I have no clue what we'll be doing to pass the time but hopefully, it'll be happy and peaceful. 
It's just work and home for Hubby and I lately...no big adventures.  I think I might like a big adventure...I need to get inspired.....
Have a safe day....!!

Barbeque Ribs Weekend...


Well, it's been another productive weekend...boy, they sure do shoot by fast!  Hubby made ribs on the grill and I made my FAMOUS.....Hahaaa....well, around here it is...SAUCE! ( Go HERE if you want the recipe).  It's been pretty restful as well.  Reading, eating...blogging...Nice.  Hope you all have had a good weekend as well!  I STILL have the hated laundry to conquer.  There is another huge mound of it to climb.  Oh well, grousing about it won't get it done.  Happy Sunday guys!

Marty comes for a visit...


Sometimes, you just need to get outta town!  Mr Marty belongs to Miz Donna at  Cottage Days.  He's her mascot...chief welcomer.   Donna is a fantastic photographer and so is her husband, Mr Jim.  They've all been going through a few rough patches lately so if you want to go soak up some Gorgeous photography and just generally some sweet "doings", go check out her blog.  While you're at it...leave behind, some prayers.  We all need some extra hugs at one time or another...Marty will finish eating his pear and be hopping on home by this evening...rested and renewed.

Not much else going on here...We did get a new patio and cover added and also a new rought (sp?) iron gate added...tore down an old out building and planters...but I'm sure that's about as interesting to you as getting a hypodermic at your local doctor's office.  SO, Hope you all have a super week and please try to stay out of trouble!  :O)

Wordless Wednesday....sorta...



Happy Wednesday!  Rachel and Zoey...Old timey look......Oh, by the way, remember the other lady that forgot our free photo shoot?  I posted about it a few days back...she called me....wanted me to take her son's photos "on either Tuesday night or Saturday...."
Hahahahaaa.....Oh Yes She Did!
Be proud of me...I said no.....
Happy Wordless Wednesday! (and yes I talk even on Wordless Wednesdays!)

OverBlown....

 Before
After

Well, Happy Wednesday everyone....I've been pretty busy as of late hence, no blogging.  In between work and FaceBook, I try to play around with photos.  Since I'm chained to a desk all day might as well!  This photo was horribly blown out!  Wrong time of day and an inexperienced photographer tends to create these types of shots.  Anyway...I found some overlays called Texas Skies at Oh So Posh Photography...Yes, they cost but I can tell I'm going to have fun with them.  
Now I ALREADY know you've found the mistake....maybe not a mistake but it looks like crap!  Josh's face!  He was SO much in the shadows that I tried to lighten him up...Can you say YUCK?!!
After two hours and almost cross-eyed later, I quit.  I SHOULD have kept trying to get more light to the face BEFORE I added the sky butttt....oh well.  This is my first attempt and I plan on lots more practice!  I guess you have to drink lots of coffee before you decide on the one you like...
Anyway, hope you all are finding lots of peace and quiet in your worlds...no drama...no nothing but "nice things"!
