Graduation

My best friend from high school, Amanda, graduated today. She received her master's in social work. I was really glad I got to be there for the hooding ceremony.

Here's Amanda and her husband, Jeremy.

And Amanda and I.

Congrats Manda! Woohoo - No more school!!

Fun with Gimp

I took this photo and put some texture on it as well as vignetting in Gimp. I think it looks pretty cool.


You can buy this print at my Etsy store.

Weekly Words Challenge

Seven

This one's a bit of a stretch, but I was running out of time...

My favorite hamburger has seven key ingredients:
1) ground beef
2) marinated in worcestershire sauce and
3) ranchers steak rub (which includes salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs/spices)
4) the bun
5) ketchup
6) mustard
7) and dill pickle slices

And the side of my mother's potato salad is just the icing on the cake.




Earth

We have a sand pit in the back yard where the previous owners removed their above-ground pool.

I got some shots of Stella and Eric playing in the yard the other day. It's hard to keep her in focus 'cause she runs so much!

Weekly Words Challenge

Three


This is one of my favorite things to have for lunch. It only takes three minutes to make and is zero points.


Fire

We went to the Renaissance Festival this past weekend and saw Johnny Phoenix. He does a fire-eating skit. This amazes me as I am hesitant to go near any kind of open flame. But then again, I am a wuss like that...
