lunch

new year's eve afternoon, i had lunch with my bff. after a wonderful salad, taco pizza and good conversation on the way out i thought i'd take a shot of this guy. he was not very friendly, when i walked up to the glass, he charged the glass as if i was bait!

productive week

christmas week was a productive one for me. more interior painting done, figured out how to schedule my post on my blog (i've been at this for 2 years and just figured that out) and learned how to upload my movies to youtube. i took several of the kids opening christmas presents and well as several when i was on vacation so once i figure out how to post them on my blog i will.

celebrity

this young guy won this year's Survivor program. come to find out he goes to the same ymca that i go to when he is in town visiting family. i ran into to him today at the y and was impressed with what a nice young man he was; we chatted briefly as i was gettiing ready to leave for home. he won a million dollars on the program

red tail hawk

i spotted this guy on my way home from lunch a few days ago. he is oblivious of the highway 70 traffic speeding about 5 feet from him, he was really intent on his dinner somewhere in the ditch
i've seen these hawks all over recently and have never been in a safe place to stop and photograph them. i wasn't the only person who stopped evidently i'm not the only one who carries their camera with them all the time

home reno 3

final coat of sealer, hard to see the difference in this photo you can see the gloss on this one. the blotch of paint on the wall is a sample of what i might use to paint the walls. now i have to leave this cure for a few days and i'm ready to go. i think it turned out pretty good. the product used was giani granite paint. this company also makes a brushed steel paint that i might try using on my appliances. (i've not been compensated by giani in any way)
