Day Twenty Five 2011

My picture for the day is grandson Elijah in the Solaris color setting on my cell phone camera. He was laying on the couch watching TV this afternoon after school and didn't even flinch when I stuck my camera in his face. I guess he's finally getting used to it (or resigned maybe). There wasn't much light in the room, which made for some interesting shadows. I like the Solaris setting. Wish I had it on my regular camera.

Day Twenty Four 2011

The snow melted (for now) and the kids headed back to school today, including grand daughter Shelby, who is still not quite up to par (still coughing), but I know she's feeling some better because she finished off a bowl of vanilla ice cream w/chocolate syrup this afternoon as she tried to concentrate on math homework (got half of it done before closing the book and turning on iCarly). More snow looms large in the near future forecast with only two 'snow days' left in the school year. And it's not even February.

Day Twenty Three 2011

Wow, the things I have to do just to get one picture for my 365 blog. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. BTW, my DQ Butterfinger Mini Blizzard was oh so tasty and the highlight of my Sunday afternoon.

Day Twenty Two 2011

"To the artist, a glistening jagged jewel.

A must for the waiting canvas.

Sculpted, tapered, then dropped to Earth

By gods from unknown places." ~~ excerpt from 'Icicles' by Linda Cann Pearson

Day Twenty One 2011

Another 'snow day' here today. The Grandpeeps are on the mend from whatever has been ailing them this week and feeling lots better now, so we enjoyed a lunch at Ocha Thai food deli, where the rice and spicy chicken are quite yummy. Here is the lunch bunch: grandson Elijah, hubby Neil, grand daughter Shelby, and daughter Holly. Happy TGIF!
