Got a new lens y’all!

Filed Under: Uncategorized

Hey everbody! Hope all is well in your world! Things here are plodding along. Me on the sofa, kids blowing up the playroom, Sean working hard at his job and at school. I spent some time yesterday reading my book that Carri gave me and watching the UK version of “The Office”. I love the British sense of humor. It’s weird and quirky, like me! LOL In other news, I finally decided on a new lens for my camera, based on a recommendation from Jennifer McKinney. It arrived this week while I was in the throes of agony so it didn’t get played with very much. I really do like it though. Here are some shots I took with it:

Boys don’t like to pose for the camera very much. They’d much rather make funny faces!

I really like this lens a lot and Jennifer has been very helpful by answering some burning questions I had about photography. Thanks again, Jennifer!

Do any of you watch, “Lost” on ABC? This week’s episode was off the chain! I love “Medium” on NBC, too. Does anyone else here watch that one? My life has been revolving around the TV schedule lately. LOL

Today, Sean is taking the boys to the park to blow off some steam. It’s been hard on them being cooped up and we’re supposed to have a beautiful weekend so it’s a great time to get them outside. Maybe he’ll take some photos today.

Hope all is well with you and your families!

Love,

Evie

    annemarie,

    I just can’t give up on it yet, though some people I know have done it. What did you think of last week’s episode? It was hot just because Desmond was in it but the time space continuum thing was amazing! I’m more hooked now than I ever was!

    Any theories you’d like to share?

    Colleen, I’m such a turd! I totally forgot to answer your question. I got a Canon 85mm f1.8 lens and it’s awesome! Prime lenses are so much fun to shoot with.

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
