I’m such an Amateur

Whoa. So I thought that Grampa’s office purge was a big deal. But sadly, amateurish. This weekend I was in Minneapolis staying with my friend Jill, and across the street was the grandaddy of all purges-

I mean, seriously. Check that out-there’s a ladder going up the side to get more stuff in that monstrous dumpster. It’s like they put that ladder and SUV right next to the dumpster for scale-just for me.

Well played, purgers, well played.

May I also say the weather was just FAB. We were working inside on some sewing projects

see? All set up. And even though we took a little trip to the fabric stores, and opened the doors, by afternoon I had to take a little walk. It was over 60 degrees and there were lots of folks in the hood.

I went by this lake, and took some pictures of the blue sky-

When I got back to Rochester Sunday, I wanted to go running but unfortunately had packed running clothes for the 30 degree weather that I ran in on Friday. Fortunately, I had a tee shirt so I could at least be cool on top and managed a little over 8 miles. Nothing like running in the sun. But not the hot blazing humidity sun of summer. Not that.

Oh, see how I got down with the new camera? I figured out how to off load the pictures to my external hard drive.

Here’s some of the first pictures I took-

Very cute foldy box with sewing notions. Both presents I have already used

I spent much of the rest of the week goofing with the camera trying to figure it all out-

Happy Birthday to me-again.

(Notice my blog muse is missing-Laura is in Africa-AFRICA!!! She said “I never go anywhere” so she decided to go somewhere with a vengeance! She has been to the lion park and survived with all her body parts-I told her to take lots of picture so I could comandeer them to my blog. She’ll be back in a couple of weeks)
