Full Circle

I feel like I've come full circle here. This is the first photo I posted on this blog. Today I cleaned house like a mad woman and I enjoy it SO much better when I listen to music. SO. . . I listened to a little James Taylor, Michael Buble, The Eagles and Josh Turner. I need to add or change some more music to my little shuffle. I feel SO good about what I accomplished today!

Just a Photo for the Day

This is just a photo for the day to post one. You don't want to know what I'm doing today or tomorrow! ha!

This photo was taken on Sunday coming home from church - the day it snowed. I thought that maybe the snow would show up on the photo but what I really like about it is that this is straight out of the camera and it looks like a B & W photo with only the reds showing.

An Emotional Day

This is my photo for the day - the Humane Shelter for animals in our area. I had a task to do here today that I really dreaded but knew I had to do. I had to take my mother's 13 yr. old cat here to see if they could keep her and try to find her a home. I was worried about the cat and my mother. But the cat has been chewing holes in my mother's oxygen tubes for a long time and it came down to my mother's health being jeopardized and finding a new home for the cat. My mother finally agreed to send her to the Humane Shelter.

But all was well today. My mother seemed to be fine with it when I left and afterwards, when I called to see how she was doing. The cat, also, was very receptive to the young people who took her in - in fact, she was very loving. I feel so much better about this problem now and hope that my mother's health will improve because of this necessary step we took today. *BIG SIGH*

A Gift for Me!

While Paige was in Mothers' Day Out, I went shopping. Got some essentials first and then I bought me a nice little gift - a set of 24 Prismacolor Markers!!! Whoooopeee! I know I haven't drawn in a good while so this little gift should make me excited about it again. I want to do it and it's strange that I stopped at the same place in the book I'm using as I did about 10 years ago. I think this point in the book is my point of fear. I'm scared to go any further. But I will do it!
