Vandal Friday
Our nephew Tanner is going to University of Idaho this fall. There's an event this weekend for incoming students, and needed a ride so I offered to take him to Moscow, Idaho today. It was a pleasant drive and I got to spend a little time with him.

Trader Joe's
On the way home from Seattle, we always try make a stop at Trader Joe's since we don't have one in Spokane. We bought several bottles of port from Portugal, French, Spanish, Italian and Chilean wines. Total count for today: 31 bottles and a couple hundred dollars poorer in the bank.

Calling Card
I found this tucked inside one of my Kay Arthur books. It made me miss Houston and a very special friend that helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. I will always remember and cherish the times that we were down on our knees, cried our hearts out to the Lord and prayed together. Thank you Miss Fonda!

My Bible
I've been cleaning and going through some of my boxes, and editing a lot of our books. Tucked away in one of the boxes was my very first bible. It was given to me by Rev. & Mrs. Earl Saunders on July 28, 1982. It was the day I accepted Jesus, as my Lord and Saviour.

Spring trying to Sprung
I planted these spring bulbs last fall. The flower bed is right by the steps that leads to the front door. I can't wait to see the flowers.

Ties and Scarves
An attempt to organized our closet! This is DH collection of ties... from Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Garcia, Michael Kors and everything in between. The tie rack on the left is reserve for his holidays/seasonal ties. The big rack is an automatic (it moves around) lighted rack and holds 72 ties. I don't have as many scarves but I do have a nice collection.

Mineral Ridge Loop Trail
We went hiking this afternoon in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. DD (darling daughter) had suggested we check out Mineral Ridge Loop trail and I'm glad we did. Beautiful view of Coeur d'Alene lake from the top of the ridge. DD has a more interesting story on her blog post if you care to read it.

Red Robin
There's a dual meaning in the title of my post today. First, I had dinner with DH (dear husband), DD (darling daughter) and "The Manfriend" at Red Robin. It's one of our favorites gourmet burger place. It was a very enjoyable and pleasant evening.

Second, I was inspired by my friend Robin from Houston, TX to continue on this project. Thanks, Robin!

No Pictures

I misplaced my other digital camera and the other one is in Nicaragua. I hope to post a picture soon. I guess I can always use my cell phone. :(

Wine tasting at Latah Creek Winery. We got a bottle each of Semillon, Sangiovese, Vinosity (unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah & Zinfandel) and their first Winemaker's Reserve Red - Petit Verdot. I wish I can afford to buy a case of their Petit Verdot, but it's $30.00 a bottle!

Self-portrait. Okay, taking pictures of yourself is not as easily done. I see so many young people taking photos of themselves and they make it look easy. They must take hundreds, maybe thousands of picture of themselves to get good at it!

Out and about with my puppy, Brutus. Every where we went... we got compliments of how cute he is!

Our day started at 4:00 am, we wanted to get a head start before the next snowstorm arrives. Driving, driving and more driving to get home!

I think it's fitting to start this project with photos of my cameras. So, here goes...

The one I use the most is the Canon PowerShot SD790 IS. It's small and compact, I carry it all the time in my handbag. It takes great pictures and it's 10.0 mega pixel.

My life in pictures aka Project 365!

2009-12-31T06:00:00.000-08:00

I wanted to do this project in 2009, but didn't. I've visited other people's Project 365 blogs and websites and enjoyed looking at their photos. I love taking pictures and what better way to improve my photography? So, I decided to do it in 2010! It will be a fabulous opportunity to document my life through pictures for a year... my visual diary so to speak and see how much I can improve my photography. I will do my best to take pictures everyday that represent my day to day life.

Stay tuned...
