Janet, sorry you are so tired.  Glad to hear that your "walk" was <karmat searches for the right word> edifying (?). 

Just thought I'd breeze through to say "HI!"

I am truly sorry for not being on here as much as I should.  No excuses, really, just super busy.  It seems like I sit down to post and Kristi wakes up or Travis needs something, or it is time to do something else.  Always something.

Anyway.  The weather is slowly starting to get nice here, which makes Trav happy because he can go out and play.  And makes me happy because then he is not like a caged little tiger.

Etta, I was just thinking the other day, Kristi is almost the age that Travis was when we came to visit you.  man, time flies, eh?  Are you sure you want a husband?  I think the cats might get a wee bit jealous.

To the others, thanks for posting -- I've enjoyed reading about your life.

Laters!

Nice to hear from you, Karma!    

Boy, I remember so well when you went to Indiana to see Etta Sue.  Seems not that long ago! 




Email Addresses:

I'm just going to repeat this list.  Janet, I'm not sure what Beth's login is.  There's another Beth.

Just to let you all know that I sent out an email today to everyone registered on Christian Photographers.

Here's a copy of it:


May 1, 2006

Greetings from Christian Photographers:

You are receiving this email because you are a registered member of our website.  We just wanted to inform you of a few new features and also of some changes that will take place in the coming days on the site. 

Starting this week, we will be going through our Membership List on Christian Photographers and deleting the accounts of members who have not visited the site for the past year.  If photos have been uploaded to our galleries by these members, they will be deleted as well thus freeing up space for others to use.  So, if you'd like your registration to remain, please contact the administrator of the site at patzscott@gmail.com informing us that you wish to remain a member and will be visiting the site once again.  We sincerely hope that you do and we look forward to your visiting our site in the near future and taking part with this great community.  Perhaps you lost the URL and if you did, here is our website:

We've been introducing some new features for you.

Your Day in Romans
Are you a theologian? You should be. Theology, after all, is just the study of God, and every one of us needs to learn all we can about the God in Whose world we live.  Pastor Al Moak has written some wonderful studies on the book of Romans and you can follow along with your Bible by checking here:

I received your email, Pat... and I so enjoy being a part of  CP.  I may not be a photographer but I do enjo the fellowhip here. 

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow (Tuesday) and my neighbor has agreed to be the designated driver since they say I'll be sedated and not able to drive myself home afterwards.   

I do enjoy this site and, though I am not a photographer, the Christian fellowship is essential to  my wellbeing.

I'll be back and talk with y'al later....  Jane

I didn't get an email.   I saw Angel's old address but she's not here now, so you can remove it. (angel_eyez@isp.com)

I came to post, but now am too sleepy to do anything.   I'm off to bed.

Nita

Hi everyone.  I am back to normal and Pat and I have a full day planned.  This is our Explorers Senior's Luncheon day and we plan to go.  Then I need to take her to the Social Security Office so she can complete the things she needs to do before she turns 65 in July.  She also needs to stop by a friends house to pick up a video tape she loaned to this friend.

Janet, sorry to hear that you are so tired and certainly sorry to hear that Beth continues to get worse.  Glad your weekend was so awesome. 

Pat, looks like quite a long list of bad e-mail addresses.  That will certainly be a good point to start some paring.  They can always reregister if they wish to return and become an active member.

Karma, good to see you posting.  Your busy days seem about right with two little ones at your knee.  It won't be long before they will be in school and you will be wishing for a return of the good old days to have those little voices and hands near you asking for something.

Jane, I sort of feel the same way you do in that I really make no claim to being a photographers but I do enjoy our fellowship here and the good friends we are able to make as we share a little glimpse of our lives.

Marilyn, when you get your things from layaway and decorate it will be like being in a new home again.  I know you are looking forward to it.

Judy, do you have a special reason to have the PowerPoint?  It is fairly easy to use and I hope you enjoy it.  Good to see you posting.

JudyB, I am not sure I could down lemon and honey as really don't like honey.  Fortunately my flu seems to be over and I obviously had a light case, although it didn't seem light on Sunday. 

Hi Ritz.

It is about time to leave for coffee at the Cafe.  I missed yesterday and missed not going as it is a part of my daily life routine. 

Just a quick HELLO before I head out the door ... hope that your all well ... busy around here so have a blessed day / morning / evening whatever the case so take care and see you soon !!

Hi Karen!  Nice to see you!  Enjoy your day!


Site Emails:

If you didn't receive the email, it's because of some items in your profile that are not ticked.

I've changed yours Nita and Marilyn.

If you click on your Profile, and then Notifications and Email and the
Personal Message Options tabs, all should be ticked.

Nita, what is your granddaughter's login name?  I'll delete her.

Good Day,
We are still with almost ten-year-old grandson while his parents are away.  He has been easy & such a great kid - still immature in some ways but very mature in others.  Spending much of our time looking at places to relocate closer to the children & I am frazzled to say the least. 

Pat:  I did receive your email.  Please keep me on the list.

Larry:  Sorry that you had the flu but glad that you are recovering.  I haven't heard about anyone having the flu this season. 

No - must run grandson over to school. 

Carol

Good Morning, great devotional Janet thank you.

Pat I sent you a PM on two of the addresses that I recognized. Oh and thank you for all the work you do to keep this site going smoothly. Thanks for changing my profile for me.

Jane I haven't had a colonoscopy in years.

My Doctor appointment yesterday went just fine,  I am healthy and nothing to worry about.

Today I am only going to Fay's, we are making her robe/dress as she calls it. It is made from woven cotton/polyester and has a zipper up the front, a very easy task. Then I have borrowed my neighbor's lawn mower and willow th lawns  when I get home. I also have to iron a few piece of Leroy's laundry So that is the plas for my day. what are your plans for your day?

TTYL

Well, praise God, I'm still living in His world this morning, though minus about 60% of normal energy.  This cold, while it's definitely lighter than it was, is still coating my trachea and making weird noises when I breathe out - and causing coughing to try to clear it.  Sometimes it just won't clear.  So the night wasn't the greatest I've every had.  But, as I say, thank God - here I am.
Pat - I'm going to go look at my profile, see that it's the way it should be.  God richly bless all y'all today (I live in the south - a little south of Marilyn).

Good morning!  I had a much better night's rest, so am feeling more like me today.  I'm in a hurry just now as I want to go swim today.

Pat, I believe Beth's login is Primrose.

Badk later!

Good morning everyone. I'm praying that you will all find what you are looking for. What a great idea Pat, sending out that email seems to have waken some sleeping members More and more photos are being added all the time to our gallery and the challenges. If you haven't looked lately, don't cheat yourself... Even if you're not into photography . You don't even need to own a camera to appreciate and comment on, and encourage others in their craft.


What lovely photos we have in the gallery today! Get 'em while they're fresh!

Peace Y'all

Thanks Janet...  Changed Beth's profile.

Thanks Ritz for reminding the folks!


Re the Mini Challenge, "The Blues", I see that several were added there last night!  Some really good ones too! 

What fun!

Marilyn ~ When you hold down Alt, click 0, 1, 7,  6 , you end up with °. 
Alt + 0189 = ½. 
Alt + 0190 = ¾. 
Alt + 0188 = ¼

You have to use the calculator numbers...not the numbers above the letters on your keyboard.  And yes, when you find what you want on the Character Map and highlight it, the Alt #### is in the lower right corner.  Does that help?

Pat ~ I got your email and it was just great! 

Karma ~ When was that that you came here?  Spring of 2001?  And I am not looking for a husband but if a rich, Christian man is looking for a wife, send him my way! 

Today is a cloudy day and only 58° F in Indiana.  Not much planned today.  No long walk today...tomorrow.  But then yard mowing tomorrow, walking, weed-eating AND posting Thursday's devotion.  Busy day tomorrow!!  All of this is God-willing!

Have a GÔ¿ÔD DAY!!!

The Blues...That trumpet is SMOKIN'! Way to go Karmat!

 

Good morning everyone indeed it is 1 AM here as i am living half the world away from Canada - USA. A quick message to say hello and to let you know that i am glad to find christianphotographer web.

I am wondering how is spring time like there? as here in Singapore we  have 3 temperature everyday that is hot, very hot and extremely hot

My little one is happy & healthy and sleeping nicely. Now it is time for me to catch up for some sleep.

God bless ya all...

Coni

WELCOME, CONI!!!  It's great to have you here, all the way from Singapore!

To answer your question:  Here in the southwest corner of Kansas, USA, the weather in Spring can go from killing frost (we had one about a week ago  ) to over 90 degrees.  And from beautiful and still, or with a mild breeze, to horrible hard winds that stir up the dust and dirt and scour the paint off your car!  (Why is it I live here?  Oh, yes!  Because the man I love is here, along with the rest of my family, and if it were perfect, then it would get too crowded!  )

I have done my "Beth chores" for today, now I am watching TBN, my favorite program is the 700 Club which starts shortly.

I'd better go look at those new photos!

Hi all!  I'm glad you like the trumpet picture.  That one was fun to do.  It is basically a "painting with light" picture.  All the lighting was done with flashlights.

Etta, we were there three years ago, so that would have been 2003, I guess.  Man, time does fly.

Spring here in the mountains of Western North Carolina is pretty predictable.  The weather consistently changes about every 30 minutes.  This morning I took my children to my mom's and travis had on shorts and a t shirt, and Kristi had on sweats and a long sleeved turtleneck.  One of them was dressed appropriately, I just don't know which one yet.

Gotta get back to work.  Laters dudes.

Igot back me t 11:30 It took me an hour to mow the front and I still have the back yard to mow. I wore my sunglasses and a visor but my face i still red, right now I m resting a bit and having a lot of water before I continue.'

It is 60 here right now but it sure feels warmer than that.

Ok Back to work now.

Janet I didn't have the time this AM to read all the devotional so I copied and pasted it to Word and will read it tonight after the girls go to bed.

Etta Sue thank you for those formulae?  Is that the right word?  I have wondered about it.  Thanks

The temp reached 25 here in the north. That is about 78°F.   Hey it worked!!!

Well I have a lot to do before John gets home so I am off for now.

Love to all
Judy

205 PM PST I have finished mowing , I still have to rake the back but that an wait until  tomorrow, I did rake the front in to a bunch of little piles of grass and will pick that up tomorrow as well. I am now going to shower and if I feel like it later I will take the dogs out for walks. I am TIRED. Itis now 58° and there is a nice breeze blowing through my house as I have both doors open and a couple of windows.

Later

Coni, it's so good to see you posting.

On another site I'm on, one of the ladies who lives in Florida said of her weather today, "We have two seasons...Hot and Hurricane!"

Right now, our spring weather is just great.  I've been away all of the afternoon till now and I took my dog and the car was too hot really for him--even with all the windows open but he so loves to go with me and he had lots of water to drink.

Judy, I now am the owner of a disability permit!    Can you believe that?  Your big sister?  The silly groin problem is just not doing any better so for areas where there is no cart parking (shopping carts--where I part next to if possible and push one INTO the store before shopping), I'll use it.  Otherwise, it will be in the glove compartment.

HAHAHAhahahahahaha
Yes I believe it John was talking aboout getting a Saturn, and I told him to go for automatic, used you as an example.  My knees are giving a lot of problem so I do understand.

Marilyn I can hardly believe our weather is better than you.  Up here in the +70's  Really nice.

Have a good evening everyone.

Judy I am right on the coast, you are inland as far as I know. It is warmer at my son's only 8 miles inland.

.

PRAISE GOD!!  PRAISE GOD!!  PRAISE GOD!! The man who was here to interview us last week called Beth today and said she qualified for Medicare!!  He will be here again on Thursday, and then we should be able to get the help she needs.  Oh, what a relief that will be.  GOD IS SO GOOD!!

I have a very difficult choice to make.  I must choose between the class I only get to take once a year, and a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains.  Oh, why couldn't they have been on separate dates? 

I still am feeling the effects of the 72 hours with God.  He is so good, and after all these years, I now know in my HEART, not only in my head, that He loves ME!!    Now, that's cool!

I have been getting a lot of stuff done today that had to be done right away, and still have lots of catching up to do.

Janet, what wonderful news.  Roll on Thursday! This sure is an answer to our prayers!

I'm closing up this New Every Morning a wee bit early tonight as my day has been very full and I'm tired this evening.

So, please continue your conversation HERE

Wow!  Some great photos in our "The Blues" Challenge!  It's going to be difficult to vote this time!
