I am so glad it’s almost Friday. This has been a particularly long week for me and the weekend beckons VERY invitingly for a chance to sleep in! My husband and I moved to south Alabama in mid-December 2011. We had lived almost a year in the Branson, Missouri area, but our time there came to an end and we were more than ready to move back home. It was a grueling year in Missouri, taxing to us both emotionally and physically. After moving, we were spent…and although I knew I needed to find a job to keep us going, I just had to take some time off. I was blessed that I got a job that started on January 2 and although it’s temporary,…

Since moving to Branson, I’ve been wanting to go to the Butterfly Palace to see all the wonderful, beautiful butterflies they have. Today, Allan and I finally got to take time to do it.  It was the season for Paper White butterflies, and there was an abundance of them flitting about. One of the best things about the excursion, though, was the live angel statue in the middle of the garden. She was awesome. Small children would come and touch her, people would gather around making comments, and she NEVER lost her composure. She just kept repositioning herself slowly every couple minutes, as if she was one of those table statues that move robotically. It was a good day, away from the stresses of work…

I’ve had some time down this weekend and just thought I’d check out Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I have a good friend who loves this program and who actually gave a wonderful tutorial on it in his blog. Although Lightroom has never been my favorite tool (I have always used Camera Raw), Deric’s blog captured my attention and I just had to check things out. Maybe I’ll convert after using this for awhile…we’ll see. For now, tweaking this flower tree I shot during the spring is a good start. Keep posted and I’ll let you know how it goes!
