Cherish. . . the word!

Photo Op--OOPS!

Well, we DID get some snow. Actually it was kind of a faux snow! The sun popped out briefly and that ruined the peaceful beauty of the scant ground cover we had. Now it is just patchy and slushy. It was enough snow (and ice on the roads) for school to be cancelled. Lots of happy children and teachers--some of both in my family!

I know. I know. Why did they get out of school for just a little snow? It's the SOUTH, ya'll! Those of you who live in the really cold places with snow of the ground for long periods of time don't want to be on our roads when we get snow! Remember we don't have enough of the white stuff to have the clearing equipment/experience that you guys have. It gets cleared and we get on with life pretty quickly. But the first day of it is rough going!

I had really good intentions of getting a photo to share with you. I even sneaked out to the deck quietly to try to catch one of the neighborhood cardinals in my back yard. Good intentions! The battery on my camera was down! Of course, no replacement! Oh well!

The camera is a challenge to me in blogging. Lee has served as our main family photographer for years. We have always depended on him to bring the camera and actually remember to take pictures. Now that he has turned that responsibility over to me, we have fewer pictures! I am having to discipline myself to know where the camera is and, oh yes, remember to click it at a few appropriate moments!

You would think having the blog would help me get my photography act together. It's a BIG challenge, ya'll! Good thing I don't have to do the whole getting-film-developed thing. That would probably just put me over the edge!

One more birthday for this week!
Happy birthday to my niece, Karen!

I hear you on the battery issue. That always seems to happen to me along with the fact that I have never been the photographer in my family.

If it snowed here we might have to cancel life!!!

Thanks everyone! and Myrna this was my last birthday! lol Yes, I'm pretty sure that it is my last one. Ahem, I'm already having a tough time with the next number. ha! ;) I guess that I'll forever be 29!

I love Cherish...the word! Of course, anything to do with family is my favorite part. Myrna, your blog is wonderful! I enjoy it immensely. Waves :::::::::: to everyone in Tennesse/Texas and Myrna's new blogging friends across the net. Thank you again!

We're getting about 16 inches of snow today on top of all we already have. Our kids have used up all of their snow days and now have to go longer in June.

Happy Birthday to your niece!!!

Hope you enjoyed it.

And I can't count how many times I was at one of my daughter's little functions with my camera and the battery died!

We're going to bring our charger with us to California, to be sure! In fact, I better put that on the top of my list! ;)

Have a great rest of the week, dear Myrna!
