TAG!

My daughter-in-law has tagged me with the following:
1) Pick up the nearest book (0f at least 123 pages).
2) Open the book to page 123.
3) Find the fifth sentence.
4) Post the next three sentences.
5) Tag five people.

Here is my findings:
"Use the sliders, explained in the list that follows, to tweak and polish the edges of your selection. Use the view buttons to see your selection in different ways, and zoom to 100% or more so you can see exactly how you are changing the image. When you like what you've done, click ok."

Yep, it's my kinda-sorta best book right now as I am learning about Photoshop!

Chunky Rain!

Only in Oregon would it be called "chunky rain!" We have had a week of wet snow that quickly turns to rain and then it hails! Hard to believe this is the end of March and we are in winter-like conditions. Bring on the sunshine!

Weekend in Idaho!

A quick trip to Idaho, pulling a u-haul trailer to deliver a desk and other items to Andy and Teresa! The desk was in sections and had to be put together again. Not an easy task by any means!

The first stages of the desk

Teresa and I cleaned out the pond area and pruned back the shrubs and bushes. It was a nice day and we didn't freeze while gardening. It had been snowing the week before so we enjoyed the sunshine and warmer day!

Rusty and Teresa enjoying the sun- Rusty loves the attention - can you tell?

Greg is quite the pool shark; he and Teresa were quite the team! Andy had a handicap with his mom as his partner! He was very patient though!

The desk is done and it's starting to look like an office!

Strike or Spare or?????

We had a grand time bowling with the kids! It wasn't the same as playing the Wii but we laughed a lot and cheered when the bumpers kept Papa Greg from the gutter!
