10 on the 10th: June 2024
Hey, Friends! How’s it going? Things are going well over here. I spent the day prepping for a photography project for the coming week. Our college is co-hosting a manufacturing camp for high school students, and I’m taking pictures for the event. Normally, I simply take pictures for our college, but tomorrow, I’ll also be taking pictures for one of our community partners. The photographer who was originally scheduled to take pictures couldn’t make it, so I’m filling in for him. These assignments always excite me because it gives me an opportunity to stretch my photography muscles, but I also stress because I’m filling in for a photographer who has…

Where Bloggers Live: Company’s Coming
THE THEME One of the primary reasons we wanted to move to Louisiana was so that we could be close to our grandchildren and centrally located to our other kids. We wanted our house to be the gathering place. So we bought a home with 4 bedroom house with plenty of comfortable space for adults and “camping” space for kids. So far, all of our kids have visited at some point, save our oldest daughter and her family. We’re hoping that changes in the coming year. This is our guest room. Our goal was to make it comfortable and kind of hotel like. The curtains are heavy tapestry to block…

Where Bloggers Live: My Vacations
Hi, and welcome to the next installment of Where Bloggers Live. I hope you’ve had as much fun reading these posts as I have writing them. At first, I was just like, yeah, that’ll be fun, but these posts have made me stop and think about my life, my community, the things I hold dear… Or maybe I’m just getting all hazy from being inside the house for months on end. Who knows? This month’s theme is “Vacation.” I wasn’t sure how I was gonna handle this because we haven’t been on vacation in months. Unless you count going to the grocery store, because, honestly, I do get dressed up…

Week 5: Rule of Thirds
Welcome to week five of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. Anyway, as promised, I’m showing the Straight Out of Camera {SOOC} image too, so you can see what I started with and how it ended. SOOC Nikon D7500 | 35mm |f /1.8 | 1/160 | ISO 400 This was taken outside in my backyard, late evening, overcast skies. The Hubs was working on the RV and Squeekerz was begging to go back inside. He’s a diva and won’t sit on the grass or the concrete. Camping with him is a lot of fun. That being said, I…

Why I Started Blogging
WHY I WRITE I’ve noticed a lot of new faces around here, so I thought I’d do a little introduction and tell you all a little bit about myself and about my blog. But before I get into that, I want to say THANK YOU for being here, I appreciate your support, your interaction, your encouragement… It really is a privilege for me that you choose to spend part of your day with me. I started my first blog a little over 11 years ago, it was called Curious Child’s Library Wanderings. And, yep, it’s still out there because I don’t have the heart to delete it. I mean, it’s…
