Leaving on a jet plane

Don't want to think about how soon I'll be back again . . .

Oh babe, I can't wait to go!!!

Jimmy and I are heading to Southey. I cannot wait:

• hockey
• coffee
• poppy bread?? here's to hoping
• homestead pizza (just for jimmy)
• skating
• Trev and Jimmy watching the daytona
• hugs
• giggles with the nephews
• shinny on the dug out
• belatedly celebrating a birthday for Kimmy
• hanging with friends??
• photos
• silly poses
• Valentine's day
• Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics
• chats with ma and pops
• and most importantly the pink bedazzled stick

Teaching Others

So, of course, for those who know me you know that I like to share fun information with others. I love it when I see others flourish or get as excited about the information as I do.

Jimmy and Sarah were my two willing participants in this photo lesson!! The result is quite impressive:

Here's one of the pics. Jimmy took this one when he was practicing the off centered focus! Not bad - hey??

Photography Class Lesson 1

For those of you who haven't heard the exciting news yet, Jimmy bought me a beautiful new camera for Christmas. I think deep down this was a present that both of us are excited about but it certainly was something that I have been saving up for and am so very excited about it.

Within the hour of tearing off the paper (okay okay maybe it was more 'carefully removing the paper so as to not rip it more than required'), I was on the computer finding a photography class. Jimmy's cousin, C.Ann , decided that this was a perfect opportunity for her to venture past the green auto feature and so eagerly signed up with me.

Our first class was fabulous. I learned all about focus and focus area. Each week we will have a little assignment to do. Here's a pic from assignment 1:
