Salmon Cakes

These are Taylor's salmon cakes . They looked great and tasted even better. I love when Taylor cooks.

Salmon Cakes

I love my daughter. This is Taylor's most recent book. She loves it. Last night for supper she chose to make Salmon Cakes. They were yummy.

Shock

I can not Believe that Michael Jackson is dead.

That just surprized me. Died of a heart attack. His music and talent will be missed. Whether you liked him or hated him he brought a lot to the music world.

Summer television usually sucks but not this year

I am not sure why but this year television has been fixed - summer tv is actually good - maybe even better than usual.

We've got my new fave show - TRUE BLOOD , The Cleaner, Wipeout, The Listener, So You Think You Can Dance, Harper's Island, The Philanthropist, and I just found out that KINGS is on tonight. YEAH. I thought that it was cancelled.

I took my first exam

I took my first exam - I am taking a travel course. I got 80%. I would have got 90% but I am an idiot and can't read so I missed a question.

Working on my Project 365 blog

Today is the day that I work on my project 365 blog. I am so far behind - I am just going to do a Jan, Feb, March, and April monthly I think instead of weekly.

We'll see. You can see it here

Zoo photos

Here are some of the photos from the zoo. Logan and I went to the zoo with my sister and her boys.

Here is Mr. Wolf. He was very hot.

Here is Mr.Lion. He is brand spanking new to the zoo this year.

So tired and cold

Where are you summer? It is another cold and dreary day here in Toon Town. Guess it is better than the snow that Calgary is getting.

Sucks to be Taylor visiting her Dad in Calgary this weekend.

Yeah ME!!!

Last night at the scrapbooking night that I went to - for a great cause - I won a T-shirt, a hat, a paper pack, a gorgeous outdoor lantern and the best thing of all - a free photoshoot!!! Yeah me!!!

The Comeback Tour

Here is the same jacket - only now it is 8 years later(she actually got the jacket in 2001)

She still thinks she can rock it!!

I hate when she rummages through old boxes in the basement storage.

Check her pocket - she probably has it full of snacks!!!!

Digimon Jacket - the comeback tour

This is Taylor in 2003 wearing her favorite jacket - a blue digimon coat with a front pocket

Shayna Says NO MORE PICTURES OF ME!!!!

You know your dog has had enough photos when she gives you this look of disgust

Trying to get this shot better

Here is the original:
Here is the best I could do:

Originally this was a photo that my mom had in a frame for the last 30+ years. I have tried to fix it the best I can. It still looks bad. At least you can tell there are people in the picture. One really cute baby too. (that would be me)

Hope my Mom likes it.

Taylor's Panda Hat - on Logan

This is a cute hat that Grama Linda made for Taylor. Logan loves to piss her off and touch her stuff. Unfortunately he also loves to have his photo taken so there is always proof of his bad behavior.

A couple of new layouts

Thanks for this amazing template from Jenn Murphy. Check out her blog. She has some great stuff.

This is a layout I did with her template. Using photos that were mostly taken by my lovely and talented dear daughter Taylor

My First Storyboard

I wanted to do a storyboard. I was not sure how but realized it is just a scrapbook page. In a sense. Here is my first one.

Photography blog

I was going to start a photography blog but I would rather just use this one blog to keep things together.
