Okay, one of my new year goals is taking more pictures. As I was working one of my many different jobs, I was looking out of the window and saw this sign. Ding, ding the idea to take an image of this sign once a week would be neat. Tracking the cost of fuel throughout 2014 would be interesting and make for a fun conversation with my grand-daughter in approximately 16 years!
This was taken in Lawrence, KS. For those of you viewing this post, what area are you from and what is the cost?
With the new year just around the corner, I have been giving thought to my new year’s resolution. Not going to do the weight loss. I’ve tried this in the past. I enjoy my food way too much. Two different ideas came to mind: reading the Bible; printing the images I take.
Knowing my personality, these will need to be very simple. I have the book, “God’s Little Devotional BIBLE”. There is a reading for each day of the week- all 7 of them! The entire Bible is arranged in 365 daily readings with devotions. Looking through the book each reading is 3 to 4 pages. At bedtime I will read the daily reading. Seems simple….
Next is doing better with printing the images I take throughout 2014. I have gotten pretty lax when it comes to taking images of my family. Photography used to be second nature for me. My camera went everywhere I went. After starting my photography business in 2004, I eventually began to leave the camera at the office when I wasn’t on assignment. What was once a big part of me; I was now separating it from my very essence.
For my 2014 photography assignment my goal will be to create one journal entry each week. This has to be simple as I stated previously. The software I will be using is Lumapix:Fotofuson. I use the extreme version. It allows multiple pages to be added to a project. Should you like to create a similar project of your own, this concept could be done using MicroSoft Word or MicroSoft Works.
Here is my first photo journal entry for 2014-even though it’s December 30, 2013.
I like using my own handwriting font for the journal portion. There is a free online service if you would like to create your own handwriting font. Just click this link.
Each page will be printed on premium white paper and added to a three ring notebook. Each page will be inserted into an archival sheet protector. The digital version will be saved to a backup file for save keeping.
Thanksgiving Dinner 2013 was a blessed day for me. I spent the day with family- my husband, parents and children. This doesn’t happen to often these days. My father and daughter requested a different bird for the holiday. When my mom mentioned this to me, I was rather pleased with the suggestion. Our main dish was still a bird- can you guess what it was- see below:
If it were up to me, our tableware would have been the real easy kind to clean up. I call it my fine china. You would call it paper plates. I am so for real. Doing dishes is on my list of avoiding as much as possible! Now my mother, she just loves to decorate with her fine china. Yes, you will see the table in the image. Jane Ray dishes. These do not go into the dishwasher.
How I enjoyed my mom’s home fried chicken, mashed potatoes, salads and banana bread on the beautiful table setting. A day I will always remember!
And little Miss Brie was worn out by the afternoon!
