AUTUMN SPICE

I am luvin this time of year. Actually, I'm not sure if I like spring or fall better. Both are filled with the colors of nature, cool, crisp mornings and warm, sunny afternoons.

Film to Digital

My camera collection is growing. My newest is a Canon SD1200 IS. I think I am going to like this little gem! The pictures are crystal clear.
For fun, I have included a pic of my oldest camera in my collection. This is a "No.1A Autographic Kodak Jr." Patented in the USA; Jan 18, 1910 - Jan 7, 1913.

Operation Write Home 600

Wow, sounds like a race! Actually, a group of woman meet at Scrapbooks and Etc. a couple times a month to create handmade cards to be sent off to our soldiers. These men and women use these cards to write home to family and friends, no postage required! How awesome is that?? This group of cards are to celebrate the upcoming holidays, over 600! Amazing, what a few women can do in a short period of time! God Bless our Soldiers and the women of Scrapbooks and Etc.

NEED A RIDE?

Sunday was a fun day. We had Grayson all day and decided to take him to the Lazy 5 Ranch in Morresville, NC. John and I had never been there, but had heard it was an adventure. It was a bit on the chilly side, especially when the wind blew, but we had a great time. As we drove thru the ranch, we picked up a few hitch hikers. We had Ostrich and assorted deer heads inside our car, a few didn't want to leave! One of the Ostrichs was pecking at the mirror and then bit John. Guess he wasn't getting enough attention! Grayson thought that was funny! I do believe this will be a place we visit frequently.

ANOTHER PASSION OF MINE

I love the arts, all kinds. Music is another passion of mine and has a great influence on my moods and well being. I played piano, guitar and the clarinet in band. I sang in the church choir and chorus in school. My children also love music, I am not talking about rock or heavy metal (yes, they do listen to that), but classical, new age (IE. Yanni) and others. When I was pregnant, I used to put headphones on my belly so they could hear it. If they were active, it settled them down. In the spirit of Halloween, I changed my blog background and music. I chose a classical favorite of mine to share with you. < 'Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor' > Portions of this piece have been used in many movies and clips. So for now, sit back and listen, but remember..... watch behind you. One never knows what might be lurking....... ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-.............
