Important to Know

I received some important information today via a short video that was emailed to me. I honestly do not understand how I managed to get through almost fifty years of life without this important "how to" tip. Watch it, and be enlightened!

High in Trial!!!

I am pinching myself! Today Acey and I went to the UKC obedience trial in Durham, and ... we won High in Trial from the Novice B class! I am just dumbfounded! I never, ever, even once gave a single THOUGHT to winning that honor! I am so happy!

Before and After


Glamour Rachel and Jake





























Remember the black and white photograph I posted a couple of days ago of Rachel and Jake? Here is the same photo after being first altered in Portrait Professionals (highlighting added to Rachel's tips at her request.) :) Below is the same photograph, in color, giving Rachel a different eye color. Now I know why the models in magazines always look more perfect than life ... they've had just a wee bit of help!

New Software



























Ned showed me a neat retouching software. Check out the differences in Rachel from the first photo, which is the original, and the second, which is retouched.

What I Did Today














































100 pounds of Roma tomatoes.
50 pounds washed, cooked, cooled and drained.
25 pounds diced with mild chili peppers.
25 pounds diced plain, in the fridge, awaiting canning.
In boxes: the other 50 pounds.

As Annie sang,
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow ...."
