Happy 3rd Anniversary to Us!

I took this picture of Rich in the park. I like the shadows on his face. They are paving new parking lots in the park, so of course he had to climb up on the equipment! Big ol kid!

Went to the Forest Park in Noblesville this past weekend to eat some KFC with my sweethearty and snap a few last "peak season" shots around the park.

I'm totally going to miss fall - I've had so much fun traveling around takin pictures here and there. I'm sure we'll get a blast or two of winter to excite my picture takin' mind. Just one or two great big ol blizzards would work for me. I've got spring, summer and fall, now all I need is winter! Bring it on Ol Man Winter!!

Oh enough talk about snow, here's what I got:

Now....I'm thinking about printing these as Christmas gifts in collage form. What do you guys think? Do people want pictures of fall leaves? Here's what the collage would look like in 11x17.

For those of you thinking of buying me a Christmas gift this year,
here's my Amazon Wish List:

Are you sick of me taking pictures of fall yet? I'm sorry! I can't help myself. Oh, don't worry, it's almost over....I'll sure miss all the beautiful colors.

With this picture, all I can think of is that old Kansas song....
Dust in the Wind.... but in this case, I keep changing the lyrics to:

"All we are is ducks in the mist"

I couldn't resist, I had to stop on the way to work and snap the following pictures. The lake was so still and quiet, with that little lingering mist floating above. I hope heaven is like this!

We had our first frost of the season this morning. As I drove to work, the lakes and ponds had a foggy mist raising from them. It created a great scene for some new fall pictures. Can anyone think of anything better than fall in Indiana? I love it!

And here they are again.....

I love how the fog is separating the reflection of the trees in the lake

Hope it's frosty again tomorrow!!

And now for today's installment of Fall scenes around Indiana

A Rainy Autumn Afternoon in Indiana

COMING TO A LIVING ROOM NEAR YOU!!

Rich and I are bringing Kellie, Ellie and Brian to Kokomo next Saturday to visit with all of you and for you all to meet little Ellie Grace.

Our plans are to be in Kokomo around 1:30-2:00 at Grammy's house.
If you'd like to meet Miss Ellie Grace and say Hi to Kellie and Brian,
please stop by!

I'm totally lovin' these foggy October mornings! I couldn't wait to get out of the house this morning to get a few shots as the sun came up and the fog burned off the morning sky.

Rich found this HP Printer that accepts email via a phone line for people who don't have a computer. We think Meemo would love to get email from people like Marc, Carla, Dick G in Wi., and all of us if she just would sit down and learn to use a computer. However, we know she won't - she won't take time to learn how to use her DVD player.

So what better!?! A printer that accepts email! All we have to do is hook it up, set up a Presto email address for her and tell the printer what time to download email messages for her every day. She literally doesn't have to do anything except walk in the room to get her print outs. The printer logs on via the phone line, downloads the messages at a time we designate and they are waiting on the printer for her whenever she wants to read them.

I KNOW Meemo would say...."Oh I don't need that" but I'm sure she would love to get email from all of us all the time - espeically those of us not great at calling her on a regular basis. She would love to talk to Marc, Carla and Dick more often but doesn't want to call long distance and they don't seem to do it very often from Mom's cell phone.

My bet is, she'd love it!!

I found it for $119.00 online and then internet access is $99.00 a year. I thought the family could go it on it together and split the cost. The more people we get to go in on it, the less it costs us individually.

Whatta ya think?

This is pretty cool.
