Day 31: What Harlee did yesterday!!! Part Two…

Meanwhile, back at Nana and Papa’s house…Presents! First, the assortment of hand made goodies from Tante Knick Knack. A dollie with clothes and a blanket, with Ariel one one side and Tinkerbell on the other! And then on to more stuff! But wait!  It is Mommie’s burfday tomorrow, too!

Day 31: What Harlee did yesterday!!!

(Posted a little late since it should be Day 29 or 30, but live with it!)

Fairy wings with a Fairy dress.  What do you think […]

R.I.P. Spirit! (sort of…)

Spirit is done a ‘rovin’…Probably lived longer than the Manufacturer’s extended warrantee, let alone the usual 90 day one! Spirit, NASA Martian Exploration Rover, Dies at 6 (Earth Years) NASA’s Martian Exploration Rover, Spirit, could not pull itself from its sandy resting place on Mars and has been downgraded to an operational science station. While […]

Day 27: The Sledding Party, Part 1

Kirsten and Tim decided to take the two urchins, Toots and Lugnut, sledding down at Giant Springs State Park. It was a good thing someone knew where to go! (1/640, f8, 50mm, ISO 100, Cloudy White Balance preset) (I did play around with the exposure settings a bit…) I wish I had my GPS… (1/320, […]
