Day #8 Photo Challenge - Technology

Okay, my camera started flipping my pictures sideways. They show right on the screen of my camera but when I upload them to the computer they are sideways. I can rotate them on Picasa but they upload to blogger sideways.

Here is my technology. Fred got me the ipod a year ago for Christmas. I wasn't sure if I would use it but I do love it. If someone is on the computer, I can check my email or facebook.

I do love my portable CD player to listen to my books. I know I can download books on to my ipod from the library. The only problem with that is they are only allowed so many downloaded at a time so anything recent has a waiting list. I would much rather check out the huge selection on the library shelf. I play them on this lovely CD player. I just wear an apron with a pocket so I can listen to books while I fold laundry, scrub the floor, clean the bathroom or even when I knit. This only really works when I'm home alone as it's annoying when someone tries to have a conversation with you when you're in the middle of a good book!

Day #7 Photo Challenge-Something New

I've been gone all day and had a tough time thinking of something new. So this is what I found. The new daffodils for 2012 are coming up.

Sarah's Food Blog

My sister Sarah had to set up a food blog for an assignment in her computer design class. She really outdid herself. The recipes look fabulous and her photography is outstanding. Check it out. (I think she gets credit for how many hits it gets.) http://amatteroftasteblog.blogspot.com/

Day #6 Photo Challenge - Childhood Memory

Remember these?
Do you think I'm almost there to "my old age"?
This one really made me smile. If only Beverly and I had any idea in 1968 that we would really be mothers of twins!

Some not always so nice. I remember in 1968 that she didn't even write "just kidding"!
My sister Sandy, creative as usual.
Not that Nancy was ever "boy crazy".

Day #5 Photo Challenge - Someone I Love

My brother Brian. This picture makes me cry. I pray that some day I can see him again in this pose. With his camera ready to take some more stunning photos. Looking at this I can hardly fathom where he is today. He will be having some more tests done sometime today and hopefully some questions will be answered. My thoughts and prayers are continuously with Brian, Jean and the kids.

Day #4 Photo Challenge - Favorite Color

I'm not sure if I have a favorite color. If I had to pick I guess it would be green. This shade and most every other shade of green. I also love burgundy, deep purple, teal, reds, yellows, blues.........
