I promise these all are exactly how I shot them. No post processing.

Fabulous Weekend...Reality Monday

This picture is from Sunday but I had such a bad day today I can barely get it posted.

Fabulous Weekend...Saturday

I am completely living life to the fullest this holiday weekend and enjoying every minute of it! This morning I had to head out to the air show nearby because I am doing an article on our local airport and needed some cool pictures.

One of my airport contacts managed to get me a ride in this World War II plane!! (Thanks Jim) Would you believe I loved it? Totally stoked about taking Ariel photos!

Me in the mirror. What can I say I love convertibles on the ground, why not in the air. The only time I felt a little shaky was after he did a couple of things like go straight up and then to the side. After we straightened out I was a bit unsure of which way was really up!

After hanging out for a good long time my wonderful Uncle Ron took me for a ride in his plane.

This would be him leaving the fly in after our ride.

And a quick picture of my awesome town from the air.

Later on I went out to eat with Grandma and some other family down in St Joe. It was great and I grabbed some quick pics of my cousin's toddler, they have yet to be uploaded.

Fourth of July

I am in the midst of a fabulous weekend and did not even get home yesterday to post. I left the house at 8am and worked 10 hours at the u-pic. Loved every minute of my time there, considering it is one of my favorite places. Then after supper with Grandma I headed out to the beach for fireworks. I actually braved the crowds, saw friends, and had a great time. My pictures didn't turn out quite like I wanted but I got a few that are okay.

~mustang girl...did I mention my convertible is finally insured? Happiness!

Its My Birthday!

Ok, so I did NOT get all those beautiful dishes for my birthday. Here's the deal: I got 10 place settings of Fiestaware for Christmas a few years back and it has been part of my "hope chest" ever since. (Basically it has been packed away under my bed). But my wise Aunt once told me that it left unused for too long the items in a hope chest turn into a despair barrel! About a month ago I decided that was true and determined for my birthday we would eat on my gorgeous dishes for the first time ever. Now I have to pack them all up again! Ugh.

A cheerful flower I picked yesterday for the kitchen windowsill.

Grandma always makes my totally yummy strawberry birthday cake!

Candles courtesy of my Aunt Cindy. Yep, we pretty much never remember candles and she pretty much always does.

Laughing at me taking pictures of the cake.

Such a fun shot. I love it!

If you want to know how old I am count the compliments on this completely awesome card from by wonderful brother.

VICTORY!

All the laundry. Clean and folded. And several piles put away. Now doesn't that look wonderful. I love clean laundry.
