What did you do this afternoon?

I edited photos while throwing back Diet Dr. Peppers. Not my favorite part of the whole photography thing, but has to be done. (The editing; not the Diet Dr. Pepper!)

I have to admit this photo is only a representation of my afternoon. In reality I didn't have an ounce of makeup on and was in an old t-shirt. But #1 - I didn't think you really wanted to see that. (You got enough of the "natural" look with Monday's video) and #2 I'm getting ready to go out with Dusty and I usually try to make the effort for him. :) After all this shouldn't shock you, I alter a lot of my photos. I'm actually a 5' 10", 120 lb. blonde! I just don't want to intimidate you with my stunning beauty! :)

Mmmmm

Coffee ice cream with Heath chunks from Cold Stone Creamery! Made better by the fact that it was enjoyed in the company of good friends.

Close-up shot, just for you, PEC!

My Grandpas

One of the good things about cramming so many things into a weekend trip to Illinois is you get to see a lot of people. I visited with both of my grandfathers on this trip. Both of my grandmothers have passed away, but I'm thankful that I can still visit with my grandfathers.

My Grandpa Lusk is 81 years old and is doing great. We had my aunt's 50th birthday party out at his house. He's a preacher and loves to tell people about Jesus!

My Grandpa Lynn is 91 years old. He had his private pilot's license and I like to go up in his plane with him when I was a kid. He told us some fun stories from when he was a kid. I really wish I would have flipped the camera over to video and recorded them.

Just a little fun

Sometimes it's good to find fun and humor in the little things. :)

Chillin' at the Lake

A quick recap of our day out at the lake with Dusty's family. A fun and relaxing day...the day before the water heater died! :)

I have nothing more to say

This running joke isn't funny anymore!

We're Baaaaaack!

Hello all my friends out there in bloggerland. We are back from an extended holiday weekend in Illinois. Hope you enjoyed the couple of posts that I typed and scheduled before I left to go to the "Land of No Internet" otherwise known as my in-law's home.
