Mac Junkie ~

Well, what can i say....the kids gonna be a Mac Junkie just like her folks! i can remember my first computer art class in college.....Aldus Super Paint..........ugh! total nightmare! But a class we had to take as a pre-req for Photoshop. Now folks get started on Painter, a program ive never even used, but am considering buying. I sure wish we had computers and the internet when i was growing up. Remeber when you did a report on something in elementary school.....you would sit down with the dictionary and the encyclopedia and get to work....trying to re-arrange their sentences to sound like your own :) And if you were lucky, there might be an illustration included! Sure, a lot of the stuff on the internet is crap, but surfing on a daily basis teaches me lots of new things! Wanna learn to crochet.......look it up....and there will be images of every stitch.......how about cocktails......wanna try something new.....punch in Mojito......and whalah.....a recipe and a photo of a beautifully garnished drink. You can even find numerous art tutorials......read a magazine.....or just shop! hmmmmm......maybe having a computer when i was a kid may not have been a good idea......i might never have left the house! Never the less.......i do believe we are raising a future Mac Junkie!

Happy Harvest ~

The annual craft fair and quilt show was on Saturday and there were some beautiful quilts on display!  I entered this quilt along with the one that was given to Jordyn from Jan Simmons.   I tried to have this quilt ready in time for last years show, but wasnt quite quick enough...so here it is, a year later :)
As for the Sustainable Living Fair, they had terrible weather on Saturday, but Sunday turned out nice. They had a lot of interest in their booth, and Jordyn, Grandma Kristi and i made a trip down to check it out. (course i spent a great deal of time at the beer garden, but what can i say....they were serving fat tire!....thats right folks.....no coors light for me.....only cuz they didnt have it on tap! :)
Not much else going on up here....the leaves are starting to turn....and the air is getting cooler. Fall truly is my favorite time of year.   Its 37 degrees outside right now, and we have a fire going.....well.....had a fire going.   Justin just fell asleep on the couch and ive been typing away on his laptop and didnt realize the fire had gone out! doh!  Any minute now i should hear the bear outside ransacking the garbage! They are pretty mischevous at this time of year.  There is a mom and two cubs that keep coming around and tipping over our garbage to look for goodies.....they are none too happy about the diapers in the way of their midnight snack.....in fact they had the diapers strewn all over the meadow during their last raid.  Guess that was their way of tellin us they didnt like em!   I use cloth diapers as well, but the disposables are just too damn convenient for travel....so sorry yogi and boo boo!  Hows about i dont tip you off to Mr. Ranger! Fair Nuff? :) yup.....lifes pretty exciting up here in the canyon! :)
