TGIF

Fridays are special...weekend ahead, golfing, resting, watching TV doing nothing.......how good can it get?

Trying to manoever around...........

Been awhile since I blogged so trying to again remember the passwords and how to get around.

Plan to blog while on holidays as I now have a laptop to take with me so that my son who is on his lifetime adventure of trying to hit every country in the world, I think, can read and communicate with us whenever he so wishes.

OK that didn't work

If you want to see the mosiac, just click on Flickr and look under the Flickr Toys set.

I thought today was supposed to be so warm but....not....it was nice but I wish it had been warmer. I am sick of this cool weather, I want it warm.

Did I tell you readers that Dean is off to Europe and Australia for an extended work and play holiday. He has lined up 3 months of work at the pink palace in Corfu, Greece staring on June 1. He is so excited, he can hardly wait. I am having him set up a Flickr account and he takes great pics so you'all keep tuned and I will post the url when it is up and flowing. He actually leaves Canada on May 4. I am excited for him and sad for me but with his laptop and my computer, the distance should not seem as far. If you want to check out where he is working, check out this web site....www.thepinkpalace.com.

Cool

I know, I know, it's been a very long time but those who read this know that I have been busy with Flickr and taking pictures. I have found that I truly enjoy my new camera more and more as I learn more and more techniques and how it works. Truly amazing. I love digital photography. I used to like photography but hated having to wait for the developing to see what I had taken and too many times, the pics were bad. Today, it is soooo great. Not good-delete, bad light-delete, did I say I love it!! And digital editing is exciting too. I have joined a couple Flickr groups and have learned lots. With my basic knowledge from an online photography class and a Photoshop Elements class, I am advancing. Most of the time I spend on here, I am on Flickr or editing photos.

On another subject, guess where I'm going. My girlfriend, her adult daughter and I are going to New York for a week in May. I am so excited! Shopping, touring, taking pictures, Broadway.....or so much to do, what to do, how much to spend, where to shop.....did you know that there is a huge designer outlet mall just north of Manhattan. We are checking that mall out that's for sure.

Here's a mosiac I made with Flickr....takes no talent...just was fun.

Well, it's nearly done.

Couldn't wait for all your answers so here's what I did with my painting project....
On the dark burgundy wall, I painted the switch plates and finished them with a spray lacquer. They look great. On the other walls, I left the plates white. I am so pleased to finally have color in my house. It was okay for 5 years, but I was definitely due for a change. It feels so warm now. I absolutely love it. I used Behr paint and wow, is that stuff nice..no roller splash,covers real well too. I have also put up a picture of the ugly pink wall from before. The burgundy doesn't show up real well in this pic but it's there! Off to the right and up the stairs. Gotta go and finish some painting now. See ya

PS Excuse the mess, we're still painting and things are definitely astray!
