Our christmas was a bit of everything, there were tears (family loss this year), joy and laughter and lots of food. We got thru the day and am glad to be moving forward into a new year. We had gift opening in the morning and then a really good turkey dinner, followed by a quiet night of snacks...

Good morning ladies. Slept until 8:30. I haven't done that in years. I think my brain and body finally relaxed and needed to recharge. Last night we had leftovers and watched the Knives Out movie. It was good (but not great). Kind of overkill for the characters behavior but it was interesting...

Good morning and happy boxing day! Jen wants to go to the mall so I offered to go along. I wasn't planning on going but we'll have fun together. I'm happy to participate in anything that makes her happy right now. We got thru yesterday with some tears and laughter. We had a fantastic turkey...

Merry Xmas everyone. We had breakfast and relaxed for a bit, hanging out with the dogs. Now Jen is up, the dogs are downstairs with her and she'll be up in a bit for gift opening. I know this morning is much harder for her than me and I am having a hard time this morning. Good food, family, dogs...

Good morning ladies. The daily hunt online for new and old sony cameras is over. I spent a lot of time researching, looking for deals, etc and today the search is over. I sold my d500 yesterday. I decided to get new rather than old and hoped that hubs wouldn't have a heart attack when I told him...

Good morning ladies. We are on the countdown to Xmas and I am happy but also so sad. I woke up feeling really blah, heavy limbs, heavy heart and thinking about Bailey. I know getting outside soon with the dogs for a few minutes will lift my spirits. I am going to keep busy today, focus on happy...

Good afternoon, everyone. I have been busy all day so no time for chitchat. I was out shoveling snow first thing this morning, so I could get down the back stairs and into the yard to feed the birds. We got 3" of snow last night. It warmed up to -4 F today but tomorrow will be colder. Then it...

Good morning ladies. It is a beautiful cold clear day here, -8F and won't warm up until next week. The dogs can only go out for about 10 minutes during this cold snap. Their feet can get frostbite. It was like the snow was kind of tacky, slightly sticky, last night, Taz was walking but his feet...

I did a double exposure (image layered and blended overtop another image) which I haven't done in a long time. That was fun.

Hi ladies. I am going to say a quick hello. The snow just stopped so I am heading out with Remi for some snow play for her and maybe some bird photos for me. HAGD. I'll be back later.

I too have been thinking about OLW for 2023. I have come up with "NOURISH". I want to nourish my mind, soul and body.

Good morning ladies. We have fresh snow today which makes Remi happy. I will take the dogs to the park later. No big plans today. I have chicken sausages so might make those for me and fry eggs for D to go with pancakes. I took out the fold out table and bin of wrapping paper and set up a...

Gorgeous masked photo and such a pretty background!

What a lovely design and I love that photo you used!

What a pretty page design!

This is truly magical!

This is so pretty!

What a magical scene!

What a sweet photo! I like the lightly textured background and the clustering with the scattering of sequins. Very pretty!

Good morning ladies. Today is the day I inventory, photograph and price my camera stuff. I have narrowed it down to two cameras, so will either get the used 60 mp sony and will order a 150-600 mm lens for it and a 50 mm prime or will order a nikon a7r iv 45 mp with an adapter that allows me to...
