Camping and Dancing

The nights are getting cooler which means that the 'camping season' is almost over. We are camping this week and although at night the temperatures have been in the low 50's they are projecting daytime temperatures in the 70's.

We have been watching Dancing With The Stars and I have to say I hope America votes Cloris Leachman off. Someone on the ABC Dancing With The Stars message board said it best..."I see nothing humorous or classy (at all) about her behavior. She's rude, vulgar and trashy."

I missed the pilot for the new series The Mentalist last night..but after looking at the TV guide I see that they are showing it again on Friday. I'll catch it then. I went to the CBS website and took one of the awareness quizzes....and I didn't do well at all on the first one! Guess I am not as observant as I thought I was!

What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?

I took the test and these were my results. If you want to take the test click on the link below!




What Your Fridge Says About You



You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times.



You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver.



You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side.



You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though.



You are likely to be married - and very busy.

Layout: Cedar Waxwing

~

This layout makes me think 'Christmas' but actually it was taken in July. Rick and I were taking Devon for a walk when this Cedar Waxwing landed in this tree. And, of course I didn't have my camera with me. Rick headed back to the camper to grab my camera and the cedar waxwing stayed right in the tree watching us. He seemed to 'pose' for the camera and stayed in the tree for close to 15 minutes as I snapped pictures.

Layout: With This Ring

~

After the wedding rehearsal, wedding, reception, pictures for 3 seniors and a football game I had around 5000 pictures to sort through, edit and upload. I have been spending every free minute this week on them and I decided to take a break and make this layout.
