Okay, I am a font freak! Yeah, I know. Pathetic. I love shopping for fonts.

There is something so rewarding in finding the perfect font for the occasion. I’m also highly picky about what fonts should be used where. But don’t let that scare you. That’s just one person’s opinion.

Here’s a rule of thumb, though, for anyone using fonts. If you’re designing a card, brochure, bulletin or flyer, please keep the font use to a dull roar. One title font that can be as ornate as you want it, provided it fits the occasion. And then one text font for the main body. Use italics or bold if you want.

Last week was a busy, busy week. It was not only a busy week but a full week. Sounds redundant, I know.  There were good-byes we didn’t want to say and they didn’t want to hear. Supper with old friends, wherein their was much female laughter and chatter, and chatter and laughter, to the puzzlement of some and the amusement of others (men, that is).

In honor of Pastors Appreciation, the youth group worked on one yard and started on another before the sun disappeared. It’s amazing how much work can get done when many hands are busy. I told them our yard isn’t landscaped yet but I didn’t hear any takers.

Heard a very good sermon on Sunday by Jason on Men and Women and being “created in God’s image”, all tied in with the glory of God and headship.

This week has been a little quieter, with two evenings at home already, the better to get rid of my cold. Tonight we are going out to eat for my dad’s 72nd birthday, and tomorrow evening supper out for a friends birthday.

I feel much better and even got creative last night. Tried something completely new for me. I decided to try something for an assignement and here’s what I got. I want to find some old crockery or old dishes and try some more later. Got Fruit?

Canvas #1 – this layout is for a canvas. The white line shows approximately where the front of the picture will be. The outside part will be wrapped around the frame.

Canvas #2

Tell me which you prefer of the color on the canvases. The first one had more of a tan background, the second a green. I can’t decide which one I like best.

And this is for Ginny: If I drive past your house and honk my horn, and no one is there to hear it, did I really honk? Miss y’all bunches!!!

So … occasionally someone asks if I sell my photos. I will gladly do so. I would love to eventually get a website up and going but I’m afraid that will not be a priority this year. So, here are the prices that I charge for the wall prints and canvases. If you have any questions, please send me a message.

And …. we are very excited to have some long-distance family returning stateside after four years of service in Liberia. If you’d like to drop by and see my niece Vicki and  Kelly’s sites, these are probably the final ones from there. If you visit, please be kind and leave them a comment.

Ahhh! Finally some fall weather. It feels great in the evenings, although the days are still kind of warm. Sunday a week ago Wendy and I took a picnic lunch down to Jekyll. The weather was perfecto and a worth-repeating event.

But alas I had forgotten to take my camera along so there are no new beach shots. I did do some local stuff since the golden rods and black-eyed susans are begging for some attention. So I succumbed.

I entered the lot next to us. Entered would be the proper term since it it shoulder high in weeds and brush. Fine place for a snake to hide. There are cute little lavendar flowers that are on long, stemmy plants. They close up at night and reopen in the daylight.

There were little creepy crawlies there as well but I think they are pretty harmless.

This one knew some 4Him songs.

This one was struggling with coordination.

When I left the field I discovered I had some “custom embroidery” on my skirt from the friendly and somewhat clingy weeds.

There are some wild grape vines nearby with deliciously sweet grapes on them. Guess the wild vines are good for something!

The cotton was screaming for attention too. Here’s a little science class for you. The cottom blooms open as white on the first day. The next day the are open as a pink flower. On the third day the are a reddish color. By the 5th to 7th days, the are drying up and falling off, making way for the boll to develop. Below you have a new flower, one that is dying, and a boll that is developing.

These two were having a conversation.

Adios and have a blessed day!
