Snapshot of My Life - February - Hammock
FINALLY Bob pulled up in our new driveway with a big grin on his face. I couldn't be too upset at him because we had just bought a beautiful new home but I was a bit annoyed. Bob can sometimes get involved in something and forget where he is supposed to be. He is my absent-minded professor. Anyway Bob was so happy and said that he had a surprise for me. He opened up his car and pulled out the parts of my hammock! I hadn't been able to lay in it for over two years and he had gone through our garage, which was piled high with boxes to the ceiling, and found all the parts to the hammock so that it would be the first thing in our new home.
Needless to say, I wasn't annoyed any more and was so amazed that he remembered how much I wanted to have a place for my hammock. We have sat and layed in this hammock and had long talks with each other, kids and grandchildren. I have been known to fall asleep in my hammock and wake up with an insect bite where my face and hand (separate times) were so swollen that I had to go to the hospital for antibiotics (I'm allergic to about everything that bites). It hasn't stopped me from spending time in my favorite place. I guess it's worth it.

365 Days - Day 47 - Chocolate
My favorite kinds of chocolate are snickers, Baby Ruth, Turtles and Brownies (Dense brownies not cake brownies). This last Christmas I told Bob that I wanted Turtes in my stocking and he dragged my sister all over her hometown in Virginia looking for just the right Turtle. At first I couldn't understand why this cute stuffed turtle was in my Christmas Stocking!
He did get edible Turtles as well.
As long as I'm confessing I might as go all the way. I'm not that big of a cake fan either. There are a few cakes that I like (Carrot Cake, Zuchini Cake & Strusel Cake) but even then I prefer to nibble on a piece all day. I just take small little bites and it is amazing how long it can last. It isn't that I dislike cake it just isn't that exciting. This drives Bob a little crazy because he thinks it should be eaten right away (He grew up in a family with six kids and I think he learned early to eat it before some else gets it). He drives me crazy because I'll go to nibble a little on MY piece and he's eaten it! Even though I'm not a big cake fan I have made hundreds of cakes in my life and pride myself on making good ones.
Don't get me wrong, just because I'm not a huge chocoholic doesn't mean that I don't have many other weaknesses. Don't get me started on fruit desserts or salty snacks...

Snapshot of My Life - February - Love
Sara Paddison - “You'll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything. When you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening."
Hello February!
February's checklist:
gather supplies
This months theme is :
LOVE
n, v
1.Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment
2.Love is not a single feeling but an emotion built from two or more feelings.
Journaling prompt :
Write down your feelings for each photo, maybe use a smiley face or colour code your emotions.Remember this months prompt is LOVE. Do you have a love/ hate relationship. Housework is definitley a love/hate thing with me; hate doing it, but love the finshed results!
Photography prompt:
First things first, lets grab our camera, and take a photo of us. Grab your notepad, and note down how you are feeling today, the weather, and what you have in store this week, it will be interesting to see if your week panned out as you thought it might!
Lets take photos of the things that we love, or maybe have a love/hate relationship with! People, places, objects and so-on
Check back Friday for page-plan ideas and technique prompt.I will also be sharing my album in progress.
Have a great week!
