New Haircut with pics

I have been threatening to cut my hair lately because it refuses to do anything at all. It stays in a ponytail 23 out of 24 hours. So I went and got it cut. The longest piece was 18 inches. I couldn't donate it because it had 6 different hair colors in it and that wasn't counting the grey.

Of course, as soon as we got home, I had Steve take pics for me. A couple of the pictures are of us goofing off.

From my front porch looking in...a photo blog

Several months ago, one of my blog readers ( I think it was Jen), asked about our house. I've made a slideshow. Click on the link below to see our home. Once you are looking at the first picture, click on the I to read the decriptions.
Steve has found records on the internet saying the house was built in the 1920's. I spoke to a lady who said it was built earlier than that. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures, it only took me 5 months to get this done.

Our home

shhh, I'm hunting wabbits again

We took Andrew out over the weekend for his first time shooting a pistol. He seemed to really like it. He actually paid attention to what he was doing and he listened very well to Steve. Sadly, like his Mama, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. We'll work on that later.

I took the pumpkin left over from Halloween and we all took turns trying to "carve" a new face for it.


So here are the pics.

Martinsville Race

Last week, Steve took me to the Martinsville Race. Here's the link if you wanna check out the pictures.

The gods conspired against me

2 digital cameras, check. Tripod, check. Cigarettes and sweet tea for the long wait, check. View of the eclipse, errr...Houston WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

I actually get my butt up at 4:30 a.m. EST, to go get pictures of the eclipse and what happens? The clouds have completely covered my view. Damnit, there aren't very many things in life I will roll my butt out of bed at that ungodly hour for, but this was one of the few. After all, it's a photographer's dream. The moon, the stars, an eclipse and in my case, a bunch of clouds.

Well, poop. I must say I'm disappointed. Let's hope and pray we get a lot of rain in the next few weeks. If that is the case, I may actually get some excellent fall foliage pictures. We shall see...

Newest Member of the Family

Last week, Steve and I went and picked up a kitten. She's a cute little kitty and Steve finally got some new pictures today.
Andrew and I call her Fussy, but she has no official name yet. She has quite a set of lungs on her. She has taken to sleeping with us in the bed. So far the only conflicts we have is with Holly, she isn't really thrilled with the idea of another cat. Then again, she's not real happy having Jasper either. We are still waiting on everyone to learn to get along. In time, everyone says, I guess we'll see.

Young and Innocent

OK, I didn't say it was my innocence that was captured. But it was my youth. This is somewhere in the vicinity of 1990, with Dale. I still had baby fat and big hair!

Pictures of this and that

I can't take credit for any of these pics, they are all Steve's. Oh yeah and next year, if I even hint of giving of photography for Lent, someone smack me. It has caused more fights than you can imagine!
