Top Ten Photos

We gave all of the kids bubbles after church one Sunday this Summer. A big time was had by all.

My nephew Brendan, in his "Suterman" cape.

One of my favorite gifts from Daniel. He bought this patio furniture without any input from me. It's exactly what I would have picked.

Scenic Railroad shot. My attempt at being a good photographer.

Ok. so this isn't great, but it is our only picture together during the honyemoon.

Meighan and Monroe

I have a vision of this framed in the kitchen. I just like it. It was taken at an apple orchard that we went to in GA.

This is a view from the scenic train ride we took. I liked how the leaves showed up.

If you can't read that sign...look a little closer...it's the Cougar Den. I took this on the honeymoon because, after all, I am a Cougar. I married a man 4 years younger than me!

Top Ten Statements made by Daniel

This will be my first installment in the top ten list category. I will do one Top Ten list a week. Or I will attempt to anyways.

Top Ten Statements made by Daniel (Some will need qualifiers and I am willing to give you those)

#10 On our first date, keep in mind only the second time I have even been around him, our converstion went as follows:
me: What do you want to do next?
Dan: I don't know, go to Trenton, GA and get married!

Something all you should know is that is where my parents got married. Very romantical, indeed.

#9 I speak Meighanese. (in reference to talking to the dog)

#8 Don't fraternize me...(meaning patronize)

#7 I'm in a fix 20 (meaning Catch 22)

#6 After we had a conversation about not kissing until marriage. It was a couple of weeks later that he did kiss me and then said "I don't feel bad about that"

#5 Round about the 3rd week into dating he says "if we were to get married i wouldn't want any woman but you" ....let's just say I swooned.

#4 You set me free from myself.

#3 Hey, Boo, I saw this dog today...

#2 Check it at the tree. (This just means there are somethings you've got to let go of when you come home)

and the number one statement made by dan is....

Don't study them fools.
(i think all of you can figure that one out but if not, don't worry about what everybody thinks)

I've lost you!

Haven't I? I am saddened by the lack of comments on the suggestion box. Maybe you could tell I was being lazy with that one. If so you are all very intuitive. The question about my career path was included because I was about ready to quit my job that day. I still don't know. I guess I will stick it out here at the good ole Museum of Art.

Sidenote. Daniel brought home,yet another, Dog. We now have Meighan which is a terrier of some sort. He looks like an inflated Yorkie and the newest addition is Monroe, a Jack Russell Terrier. Both are cute and like each other. I've been trying to capture some good pictures so you can see just how cute the brothers from different mothers are. Funny thing about Monroe, love that name by the way, Daniel found him on this farm an old redneck had him and didn't want him because he was bothering his mules. Can't you hear some old country guy yelling for MONROE. Such a distinguished name for a country dog.

E-harmony, Match, Sovereign Grace you better watch out!

I just read this article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27596308/ and could not help but think that this will make the crimes of picture enhancement on edating even more prevalent. Ok I will admit to it, I was on E-harmony at one point in time in my life. And one thing that happened quite a bit was people putting their best foot forward in the picture area. Many times the pictures did not match the person. Don't get me wrong they were the person but maybe ten years earlier or many pounds lighter if you know what I mean. I always shied away from the profiles that only had a picture of a person that is like ten feet away. Something about that said I'm hiding something.

This article is about a software that makes people gorgeous in photos. It alters the photos so everyone automatically looks great. They are even saying that it will be in digital cameras so you are automatically made beautiful. Something about this scares me. Now, as much as I hate unattractive pictures of myself and like to delete all of them on my camera. I don't want to live in a fantasy world about my appearance either. This just seems like a cheap way to have plastic surgery and i can't help but think that it's all wrong. It says something about our society as a whole. We don't accept flaws; we can't see the beauty in them. To me that's a sad thing.

Suggestion Box

This is my blog's version of the good ole fashion suggestion box. I will give you three options for the suggestion box....
