Christian Photographers Community

Ruth Ann, your account of time with each of your granddaughters really made my heart smile.  Those moments are so special, don't you just want to hold them close to your heart, savor them, and never, ever forget them?

I spent the afternoon in my studio/scrapbooking room, threw away a lot of junk, got the tables cleared off, ready to scrap with my girls tomorrow!    Diane has offered to make the dessert for dinner tomorrow, so that's a relief, too.

Since Mark goes to college in the town where Kerri works, I suggested she might like to call and invite him to ride down with them.  She did, he is, and that will save him the gas money, plus give them some time to visit.  We all stay too busy these days.

I did get ONE Valentine yesterday---from my dear friend, Pat. 

Hi everyone.  Not much has happened since I last wrote here on CP and I guess that is good.  Today should not be too busy.  We have a meeting to attend this morning and sometimes we go out to eat with some of the group for lunch but never know until it happens.

Janet, nice that Mark is going to be with the family.  Hope you had a wonderful time together.  It sounds like you had a house full of people.

Marilyn, I am glad that was the reason for the cutback and guess one rejoices when a person feels like doing more for themselves if they are being realistic.

Kevin, I don't share your appreciation of strong coffee.  I drink coffee but can't say it is my favorite and I certainly don't like it too strong.

Ruth Ann, what delightful memories you will have from your weekend here in Atlanta.  It sounds like some real bonding is occurring.

Hi Colin.

Karmat, what an experience you and Bernard had at the country club.  Glad it was such a fun evening for you and it sounds like your business got a big boost from the experience.  Glad that cast is off Kriski's arm.  What did she think of the skin under the cast? 

Time for morning coffee.  Hope everyone has a great day, I plan on doing just that.

Good Morning Everyone!

How nice to sit here and read all the posts.  I've had a very busy couple of days.  So good you had a good ride to Atlanta, Ruth Ann. 

Hi Colin!

Everyone, have a wonderful day.  And get some "COFFEE" photos for our new challenge!

I will post this morning, as I likely won't have a chance later today.  I called Kerri and they were approaching Larned, so it will be another 1 1/2 hours before they arrive.  There will be 12 of us when everyone gets here!  Darrel just put a small turkey and a chicken in the roaster, that's going to be our dinner, of course with other things added.  I have some lasagna for lunch, along with a nice big salad.

Kerri likes scrapbooking, so that's what she wants to do this afternoon.  I hope Toni and Diane will come join us, too.

I am trying to get some laundry done and put away before they arrive, so will see you all later.

Hi, Pat!  Good to see you back.

Hope everyone has a good day.  We will miss our Etta Sue, won't we?

Hi Janet!

This has been a great week in "Thoughts for the Week!"  I don't know if we've ever been on page 9 on a Saturday before!!

I'm listening to Rejoice Radio as I sit here working around my house.  I have my speakers turned up and what wonderful singing!!!

Can you believe this?  So soon? Click to see!

Good Morning or afternoon wherever you are. Morning here. I have just mopped the kitchen floor for the 2nd time. Hapy came in with dirty feet and tracked it up. I am busy cleaning house this morning and will walk the dogs  a little later.

Nothing else is new here.

I've made a huge pot of soup today--Beef Barley and I now have to mop my floor, Marilyn!

The skin under Kristi's cast looked normal.  Maybe because she didn't have to wear it but two weeks.  The funny part was after it was off (the saw intimidated me, I can imagine she was terrified).  We were in an "open" lab type room where they put casts on, take them off, etc.  Separating us from the other patient was a young lady getting 63 stitches and 15 or so staples out from an ankle surgery (she had been in a car wreck, and had completely destroyed her ankle -- they had to "rebuild" the entire lower leg).  Anyway, they had already told her to "watch her language" because there was a very young child in the room.  (She did very well, I might add).  But, it was obvious listening that it was hurting BAD.  Apparently, she heals very quickly and the skin had grown around the staples, etc.  So, she was moaning and grunting, and Kristi's eyes got bigger, and bigger, and bigger.  She was scooted as close to me as she could get.  When I finally realized what was going on, I told her they wouldn't be doing anything like that to her.  She relaxed a little. 

I told the tech, and they pushed the curtain back so Kristi could see what was going on (all of them were out by that time), and they let Kristi watch her (the carwreck girl) have her cast put on. 

Then the tech that had put Kristi's cast on and taken it off gave her some ice cream cake, so she was feeling like quite the star by the time we left.  She  has, however, developed the habit of walking on her toes, so we have to remind her to use her whole foot, still.

Travis didn't have basketball practice/game this morning, so we were all able to sleep in and get some much needed rest.  He is doing so well in school.  I'm enjoying teaching him as well.

Take care and have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Awwww, Karma, poor Kristi.  Thanks for the description of what went on.  Give her a big hug for me.

We're upgrading our forum software so please be patient.

There will be some tweaking to do over the next few days.


Watch THIS topic and post here with questions or comments.

We are changing the theme to a more "photograph acceptable" type of one.  The forum width on our older theme was too narrow for us to enjoy photographs properly so Oldiesmann is helping us with a new look.

hello all.
i am still around had the entire day off yesterday and instead of doing homework like i needed to i slept. oh well needed rest and none of my homework is due until tuesday! anyways tonight its back to work and i really don't want to go but i must i need  the money. anyways i guess i need to get off here and go take a shower besides that sitting the in kitchen i can hear dad snoring and it makes me tired. adios!
Sarah

Hi Sarah!  Nice to see you!

Did yae spill th' soup oan the flure that ye hadae mop it Pat!  Sum yin hes ben rearrangin th' fourniture here! Guid stuff

Hi Colin so do you like the way its gonna look.

Are we gonna look like PC Pat?

This is just the default software of SMF and it just happens that the Cafe also use it.   So does SeniorNet!  This will be easier to maintain.   We have a few MODs that we'd like to add to the software and it's easier to do that when lots and lots of tweaks haven't been done like on our last theme.

Oldiesmann is going to try to fix the shoutbox and also we're going to have a MOD that will show the attached photos in a post without showing the thumbnail.

Here's Colin's video of a place I love!  I've walked all along that coast so very often and my heart yearns to return once again to the "auld sod"...  So, sit back and enjoy...

How about a very quick vote HERE

Then we'll start a new one!

A lovely and sunny day here today infact so nice that I went to Barrie for a visit - house work can wait.

Nice changes to the site so far Pat.

Boy, am I ever tired tonight!  Diane's family have all gone home, and Kerri's are watching TV, looking at our China photos and visiting with Darrel.

We girls had such fun this afternoon playing with my new toy!!  Kerri brought me a Cricut (say cricket).  It is a personal cutting system that cuts letters, shapes, etc. for scrapbooking and cardmaking.  Pat came out for a while, too, to play with us.  What a fun machine, and it will be nice to have to share with the other girls we scrap with.

This is certainly a new look!  I am looking forward to seeing how it looks when all the tweaking is done.

I'm going to get ready for bed, it's been a loong day. 

Thanks Ruth and Janet...

It's nothing special but it's nice and bright and also the forum area for typing is wider and will be nice for photos.

Just to let you all know too that I was speaking to Judy this evening and she's so missing everyone here.

The motherboard on her computer is "fried" so she's not sure now what she's going to do. 

Eeeeeeek Pat! You have put the Giant's Causeway in the wrong county! it is CO. ANTRIM!!!!!!!

Yes Marilyn, I do like the new layout.

Good Irish morning to you all.

Hey Janet, I had been selling those Cricut's on Ebay for the last 3 months.  I ran out of them last month.  They sold better than anything else we've put on there.  I just wish I could get another load of them.

Morning all!

Good Lord's Day to all  y-all. I am looking forward to going into the house of the Lord to Celebrate Him today.

Just wanted to say good Morning.

TTYL

Slip of the fingers, Colin.  Sawwy...

Samantha--what price did you sell them?  I had never even SEEN one until yesterday!  But I had heard of them, once.  And how do you acquire a "load" of them to sell on eBay?  (My naturally inquisitive mind has gone into overdrive!)  Kerri said she saw "all kinds" of Cricuts on eBay, but she hasn't ever traded on there.

Ray is up, I made him a cup of coffee.  I'm trying to be quiet because Darrel, Kerri and Addison are still asleep, or trying to sleep, anyway. 

I so want to attend church today, but if they don't want to go, probably I can't, as I don't want to do anything to alienate them in any way.  I'm rejoicing in the restored relationship, so want to do all in my power to preserve and improve it.

I need to go brew more coffee!

Hi everyone.  It is an overcast but not cold day and there is a storm front moving our way from Alabama.  I expect we will be home this afternoon before it gets here.  I will be keeping tabs on the weather.  I have a weather radio but must not have it set right as it never goes off. 

We will be going to church today and I will be singing in the choir.  We have had a change in plans on our trip to Florida.  We had planned to leave on Wednesday and spend a couple of nights with our friends from here who spend the winters at Inverness, Florida.  However, they had a commitment with their community on Thursday so we just moved our plans with them to the beginning of next week.  It is nice being retired and having flexibility in our schedule. 

Colin, this morning I looked at the video you have shared with us and really enjoyed it.  I found those rock formations so fascinating.  They look like they have been carved as the edges are so sharp looking.  I also enjoyed the music you had with it.  Thanks for sharing.

Janet, glad you are having such a good time with your family.  I have never heard of tha cutting device you got and will have to look it up to see what it looks like.  It must not be something you use with quilting as my wife hasn't said anything about it and am sure she would know about it if it were.

Pat, hope the software changes go well.  Your soup sounds good.  I like soup on cold days.  Sorry to hear that Judy's motherboard on her computer has been fried.  I was able to buy a new motherboard that matched the one I had in one of my computers.  Of course, you have to have someone put the pieces back together on the the board.  Fortunately my son had the experience and knowledge to do that. 

Karmat, I am sure Kriski is glad to have the cast off and glad the skin hadn't been affected.  That is one of the memories I remember from having a cast on my arm when I was a youth and also when my wife had her ankle broken a number of years ago.

Good morning Marilyn, Samantha, Ruth and Sarah.  Nice to see your postings today. 

Pat I noticed that there is no link to the gallery  in the header, Will that be one of the tweeks to be added? I did manage to get into the gallery yesterday by going to my own then  looking around from there.
