Tonight I met up with the The Corona Nature Photography Hiking Group in down-town Orange. This was the first time for me with this group, the second time with ANY meet-up group. So far, two out of two meet-ups were a lot of fun! I hope to get to do more. Everyone is so nice, friendly and helpful. Even though my shots weren't that great tonight, I did learn a lot.
The photo group.
The homeless.
Note to self: Give small bills in exchange for taking photos.
Every night, and I mean EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, Sam comes to me and MEOOOOWS real loud until I pick him up and hold him like a baby.
Remember my carpet bit, where I was saying that carpet is disgusting, etc. This is the work in progress because of the carpet we had to pull up.
One thing leads to another....I need new flooring for the stairs, hallway and a couple of rooms. But the stairs were built in 1967, they were the open type, where there was just a plank. Compare Carpets said they couldn't putting anything on them except carpet. Well that wasn't going to happen. So, I had to have the stairs remodeled. This is where we are as of right now. You can look and see the additional jobs that still need to be done.
* Stain the banister
* Paint the walls
* Put in flooring
Here's my latest layout. I copied, or I was 'inspired' by the cover of the *new* Close To My Heart catalog.
As I was scrapbooking pictures of my friends while being with my friends today, I wondered if they will be my friends until the day I die.
Over my lifetime, from childhood to present, I have had quite a few friends that I considered to be very close to me, but now I don't know the first thing about them. I don't know where they are, what they do, nothing.
The friends I have now, I want to keep them FOREVER. I open my heart wide to any new friends that might come along as well, but, please, Lord, let these ladies stay in my life until the day I die.
These ladies know way too much about me. They listen to all my bitching and moaning. They never minimize my emotions even though I'm sure I overreact at times. They hang tough through my moodiness and my insanity. And they are still here as my friends. I can't hardly believe it.
I love you, ladies.
And to those 'friends' who have decided not to be my friend anymore, I miss you so much.
Here is the lovely dress Rene' made. Doesn't it look just darling on her. Rene' did a fabulous job and we had a wonderful time making it together.
Rene' says she imagines herself dressed like this as a housewife, with a martini in one hand and a vacuum in the other.
