Who would have thought

First blog of the year, holy cow, where did time go?? It sure flys by the older we get. Life seems so busy every single day. Need to go here need to go there, pick up this drop off that and groceries groceries groceries. Why do we buy so many groceries? I can go to the store and purchase 200 dollars of groceries and before the week is over, I already have a list. I just don't understand. There are only 3 of us living under this roof (4 dogs and a cat too). Can you imagine having octuplets?? No WAY! Thank you very much!! I guess I shouldn't complain.

Ok, I found a really cool store that in the 41 years I've lived here I've never gone in this store. I can't believe it! The prices are really pretty good too. It's the cash and carry store on 5th avenue. I LOVE it!! I went in for coffee filters and came out with peanut butter, latte syrup, espresso (white coffee, which is awesome) gummy hamburgers, canned corn and YES, coffee filters too. 29 dollars later! All I needed was coffee filters so I'm not sure if I saved money after all. At least I left feeling like I hit a sale!

My wonderful husband surprised me this Christmas with a Canon Rebel camera. Now i've decided its time to learn how to use it so I grabbed one of the gummy hamburgers and told it to come with me. As we trudged outside in the snow, wind, dirt, and rocks of our new "yard" i looked for the perfect spot to have a photo shoot. Well, now anyone who might have been watching me KNOWS i'm crazy! Yes, I situated my gummy hamburger on rocks, fence posts and even in the snow. I must admit, I got some pretty good shots if I say so myself! Our shoot ended when Gummy fell off the branch and landed in the mud. The weird part is . . . . I REALLY enjoyed my model and was sad to see it ruined. Tomorrows a new day so I'll see what i can find to photograph. In the mean time, here are some of Gummys best shots. Enjoy
