St. Patricks Day is something I never really got into. But to all who choose to celebrate, please be careful. And please don’t get on the road if you’ve been drinking.
I haven’t had much time at the computer or behind the lens today because it’s Granddaughter Day. We are just watching her for the day. Her school was out but her mom’s county was still going so we got a bonus day.
And what a day it was. She was just a joy to be with. and she drew me some pictures. We sat at the computer and printed out shots I took from her birthday party. I had pre-edited them and just let her pick which she wanted prints of.
Spent a few minutes teaching editing and what to look for. Had a number of similar shots and had her look for certain things like expressions, sharpness, content. The excitement when she saw the best one was exciting for me. Taught her to change ink and how to handle prints, where paper is loaded and how to tell which side to use.
Of course, we played and ran and had pizza for lunch. I also got her a cannoli to try for the first time. Liked the icing but not the shell so much.
I’m sitting here smiling but a bit sore. I always use a few muscle groups when grandchildren visit, that don’t get exercise normally.
I believe I’ll sit at the easel a bit this evening and see if I can draw something myself.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- I’m sick of sports talk shows talking football year-round.
- Courts may not stop him, people will.
- I’m sick of sports shows so focusing on individuals within teams, more than the team. These are team sports we are talking about, NOT Javelin, NOT Golf, NOT TENNIS – team sports. Individuals don’t win or lose games, teams do.
- Just figured out what was wrong. I haven’t had music on for an extended period.
