The Ray House was decorated for Christmas, including what might have been served for dinner. I was experimenting with different filters and liked this effect. I might do another version on another day.
It's been a few days since I posted, and even longer since I have taken any pictures. I am disappointed that I did not actually make the whole year with the PAD, but sometimes life just gets in the way. Today I am studying for a test tomorrow. I am taking a class in printing (offset, screen etc.) as a beginning to studying graphic design at our community college. Our test is over 10 chapters and we need to know 108 definitions. My brain got tired, and I wanted a break, so I decided to take a few shots. I don't have time to do a real set up today, but this didn't come out too bad. Hopefully I will get back on track and finish the year--maybe without any more cheating, but with the holidays coming up I can't make any promises! (If this doesn't make much sense, just blame it on too much stuff going on in my head!)
This is my soon-to-be grandson. His mom, sister and he are visiting from Texas, and my son is down from Minnesota. They are now officially engaged, so I will be a grandma in the near future! (My youngest turned 16 last Sunday--it just doesn't seem right!) Anyway, I have enjoyed getting to know them, I just wish I had their energy! They went to the zoo in the morning and we took them to the park in the afternoon. 
We spent the last five weekends at band competitions. It will be nice to get back to "normal", but I enjoy watching them march and getting to different parts of the state. They worked hard and had a great show this year. Saturday they ended up first in the prelims and second in the finals, but were less than 1 point behind first.
