well, after a rude awakening this morning with a thunderstorm and the forcast to have 60 percent risk of thunderstorms and rain, we finally got to go to the beach with shannon children and husband. shannon is a co worker. the children were well behaved and had a lot of fun with them. i went straight to the store and got them deveoloped. theyre shirts were not that vibrant of blue they were more medium (I THINK) got a lot of other cute pictures too. will probably make a dvd for her with all the pictures of the day. the weather ended up being perfect. THANKS SHANNON FOR INTRUSTING ME HOPE YOU HAD JUST AS GOOD OF TIME THAT I DID. .HEATHER i will be praying for the tragic miss hap. and for me and the doctor, i w as in and out like a yo yo. 25 minutes, most of the time was waiting at the front desk. i never sat in the waiting room. as soon as my tues appointment with my primary clears me for surgery i will have exploritory surgery, then he thinks i will need to have major surgery, patty nora and mom agree i need the major surgery and then my friends say dont, but mom and patty and nora have all seen me look like crap and feel like crap for a long time now. well enjoy the pictures. love you all. i had no clue that hunter had the sand in his hand thought it was neat how it showed up in the picture falling out of his hand. good action shot.

WELL, WELL, toms dream is finally comming true, good luck on you 6 week adventure may you have 6 weeks of sunshine, beuty and love the world passing you by. my crazy adventureist of a brother in law is starting today going down the missisippi river from winsconsin all the way down. in this little boat. what a great thing to do however you all know me, i would love it until the first heavy wind and /or thunderstorm. may god bless you your whole trip.

well know that i have a camara to get this closeup of the bird house the birds have stayed away, i was in the house getting smokey to come out side and when i was out WITHOUT my camara the deer was right there and when i got back and sat with my camara ready aint NO ANIMALS come. PATTY CAME THOUGH that was a nice surprise. well tommorro i have a 3 hour stress test for my abnormal ekg, they say i will be fine alone (good since mom cant drive) but patty said if it bothers me i can call her and she will run me home. then i have to work all night so i am cleaning some tonight so i dont have to worry about laying down inbetween the stress test and working. the picture of the oak tree was just soo perfect with the lighting, new leaves with the sun shining. AHH i LOVE the spring evenings. and smokey is waiting patiently for the birds to come. have a great memorial day and remember the reason why we all celebrate.

hi, as i expected shannon has a double ear infection and canceled her portrait, i didnt blame her and was actually quiet relieved. i felt like 2 tons of brick were on top of me this morning and now so nighty night after this, . she has set the date for may 26th, and now wants to bring her husband . she has even offered to pay the developing,. i dont think that will be neccessary. at least she isnt trying to say forget it. so i went in to the photo contest and there are NO ribbons near my pictures but they were professionals there also. so i just kept upbeat and got a lot of answers and listened (easedropped) to alot of people. the judge was answering someones question and he was talking about how most of these are not the actual picture at all they have played with it so much. he said look take this sunset for example, you can tell it is the actual sunset and has beutiful colors but real colors, i just wanted to grab my camara and get a picture of him pointing to my picture. that was enough for me. this best in show was a girl sitting in the lincoln memorial or one of those with sun rays coming through. the host asked him to come and tell us how to get a picture like this. he said he took 7 shots and merged all of them together. boy that made a few people angry as well as the judge. this guy won 3 times. one for each catagory. the judge says they need a seperate catagory for manipulation. well i put 50 dollars to each so maybe some of them or the public will by them before may 31st. jakes graduation party is tommorro, they started to put up tents today . remember all the problems with tent pitching on the lake or any other vacation, well it still stands true today. ha ha. more pics tommorro.

the top picture is actually after the 2nd picture didnt work. try try try again. ha ha.

hi, have a great weekend. my pictures will be judged tommorro. i also have a picture taking session my first HOPEFULLY, things the plans tend to change when i get excited. i went to the dr yesterday feeling so rotten for 21/2 months, she said i am officially an old lady ha ha. my ekg is abnormal so i will be getting a stress test soon, and need blood work, need a second opinion on a cyst she is sure is there but she is not a gyn. she also gave me something for sleep which is a sign of being an old lady, anyone know what diagnosis i have. ha ha. i only got 2 hours of sleep yesterday cuase i had an early appointment. so i made up for it last night. still want more. i trust this doctor fully and she is very caring. two important things to me. i am going to show you two pictures to show how the camara zooms in you may need to click on the far away picture. have a great day. katie think of me tommorro.

the little white speck in the background is the zoomed in light house in the next picture AMAZING ha.

well, i did it, i got the new camara and played with it this afternoon. it was neat, i was standing at the far end of my deck an zoomed and got the tractor close up in this end of the field near noras. (dads field) i also got close up pictures of my climitis from my porc h, which is not right near the deck. then i HAD to go to the beach, ha ha. i honestly did though i was picking out places to take the portraits saturday the girl at work wants to me to take her and her kids pictures. so now we can just go to the places and i wont have to think about it saturday to save time. i have a few things to learn though. a lot of the pictures came out blurry cause i went in too close. guess thats why the little red line comes when you go into the telescope part of the zoom. all an exciting learning process. here are some of the good ones. LOVE IT. have a great day, mom is fine.

I SOOOO WASNT EXPECTING TO SEE THIS decaying DOG OR FOX. how much should i charge saturday?

HIP HIP HORRAY, mom made it through foodlion, bought a long list of her groceries i lost her a couple times. i only got 6 items toward the end when she got pretty tired. on checkout i went to a short line and she went right acrossed me so i got my groceries out quick and went to her and got hers out then went back to mine the clerk was nice enough to come help mom . then when i payed was waiting to pay for mine, i would put moms bagged in her cart and mine . i told her to put only cold food away and then sit down for a while when we got home. she is pretty tired but said it felt great to get her own groceries. and we met guy serman in the store and mom said on the way out see you tommorro guy. so as of right now she is planning on going to noras for mothers day. \

HIP HIP HORRAY, jake graduated this morning. should be done by now. patty, kim, adam went down to celebrate with him. he will be an excellent teacher. he is great with kids good luck in all you do jake. i love you very very much. cant wait to see you. looks like a good caption under that picture is this answer cant be right, i am not that tall. lets figure this out again mom.

GOD REIGNS, HE ALSO rained on my newly opened rose bud, i saw this morning that it was open but it was raining and i had errands to do. it poured in the afternoon. i took a nap and it was sunny when i woke up so i grabbed my camara and as i was focusing it was starting to rain nice and gentle so i kept taking pictures to get the perfect one. TADA here it is isnt it beutiful with the rain drops. i could not find a rainbow, but did get in the car to search and the rain stopped but these storm clouds were above the cemetary, thought it would look neat with the flag pole in the forground. hopefully they will disapate and there will be no more storms. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO DUANE THE SEQUEL, HA HA. I AM SOOOO PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SUCH GREAT KIDS AND WIFE. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO THE EXPENTANT AND THE OLD AND YOUNG MOTHERS. I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR ALL OF YOU ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE ALL THE BROKEN FAMILYS. WE MAY HAVE OUR TIFFS BUT WE LOVE EACH OTHER. CONGRATS TO MOM, I TOOK HER TO THE STORE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. SHE DID EXCELLENT VERY STEADY, SHE WAS THERE ABOUT A HALF HOUR, SURE IT FELT GREAT TO HER TO DO THAT AGAIN. NEXT TIME MAYBE FOODLION. BUT RIGHT AID WAS SMALL ENOUGH. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. KATIE ps. heather i hope your mothers day is ALOT better then your birthday. you deserve it.

here they are, these photos are in the millsboro art league until the 31st of may, on the 16th of may they will be judged and opened to the public. i couldnt get a direct answer on the catagories, all the volenteers were guessing as to what catagorie to put these in so i hope i dont loose cuase they are in the wrong catagories, i cant believe they didnt know.. so i will put it in the lords hands and see. it is neat to do anyway. i am number 28, 29, 30 so i guess they will have at least 27 other entrees. the competition dead line is 4 oclock today so dont think they will have much more. pray for me katie i am going to pick up the paint brush in 10 minutes or less for the computer room for the people are asking where i am painting.

well top of the morning to you. this was a picture i took today think around 730am. then i went back to bed for 3 hours imagine that, i actually wanted to sleep and could sleep. i am possibly entering a photo contest , i had to email and figure out what 2 of the catagories were. one says world wide view and the other i am unsure about is wild delaware. so i will decide when i hear back. the art league of millsboro will display my pictures from may 16th to 31st and i can put a price on them. that may get my name out to the public. so we will see . i had to laugh the article said you can take photos with digital camara or CONVENTIONAL CAMARA you can tell times have changed.there will be winners and an award ceramony on may 16th
