Super Tuesday Surprise Party

We interrupt our regularly scheduled topic to bring you a picture of our "Super Tuesday Surprise Party." My youngest son and I planned this party for my husband and older son. We let the oldest son in on the plans, because we needed his help preparing the food. We made a ginormous cheeseburger, red and blue french fries (at least we tried), and red, white, and blue decorated sugar cookies. We played games with prizes and watched the primary election coverage on TV. We also made shirts to wear during the party and decorated the paper cups with stickers of our favorite candidate.

Party like a Barack star!!

Picture 2

This picture was taken on a very foggy day at the beach. It was so foggy in fact that when we left, our hair was as wet as if it had been raining. Anyway, it is hard to tell just how foggy it was, but it did capture the right color of the sun, beach, and water.

Picture 1

I obviously had my camera on the wrong setting when I took this picture, but the colors turned out perfect with the delayed flash. The other pictures I took that night turned out too bright. It made it difficult to tell this was a night show. I also liked the motion captured in the picture, but it is definitely not a quality shot. Just one I love.

Next week...

I have finally got some pictures uploaded to the computer from my new camera. Like I said, I am not a very good photographer, but I have been practicing to improve. Next week, I will be sharing my favorite mistakes with you. Have a good weekend!

Update...

Sorry this blog was not updated by the 15th as promised. It turns out getting a motherboard for my old computer is more expensive than buying a new computer altogether. So, we are taking our time looking for a new one and considering switching to a Mac. Please post a comment if you have any suggestions or comments about this.

The good news is that I got a new camera for Christmas that I am so excited about. Once I have a new computer, I will be posting some of the pictures I have been taking to improve my photography skills. Hopefully, you will find some of them enjoyable.

The other good news is that a local restaurant is interested in selling my aprons, so I am busy getting the inventory ready. This means that my Etsy shop will probably not be updated for a while, but considering the sales, I don't think it will be an issue.

Thank you to those of you that continue to read this blog! I hope it will become more interesting when I am able to update it regularly.

The Mother Ship has crashed...

I'm sorry it has been such a long time since my last blog. My mother ship (or mother board) has crashed. I will try to have the problem fixed and more aprons (maybe some other items as well) in my shop by Jan. 15th. Thanks to all of you that continue to check my blog for updates and continue to be disappointed. Happy New Year!
