Well, I'm not sure if anyone still reads my poor blog. It's been so neglected. I've started several posts, just haven't finished them. I still plan to write about everything that's been going on. Thanks for all the sweet emails, checking in on me. My goal is to write a real post this week, not just photos. We'll see, :)

Project 52~ Week 2

I think the purpose of Project 52 was to take a good photo each week of the year. I definitely failed miserably this week; this is such a bad photo. Oh well, I'll try again week. If you're from Texas and you love Chuy's, you know exactly what's in this photo.

Chuy's Creamy Jalapeno Dip~ a little bowl of Heaven on Earth

Photo Project 52~ Week 1

The goal is to post one photo each week of the year. There is also Project 365 and the goal is to post one photo each day of the year. I cannot commit to posting a favorite photo each day of the year. I won’t even commit to living in a particular city. Yesterday my dad talked to me about the advantages of home ownership (blah, blah I've heard it before) and how I should consider it. No way, can’t commit! You think I have issues? ;)

I am not a professional photographer. I work for a major U.S. based photo company and I like taking pictures. I have spent time in a dark room and I loved it but I’m not a pro. I know I could be a better photographer if I had a nicer camera. Isn’t it funny how the camera makes all the difference these days? I have a basic Sony point and shoot camera (not the company I work for, such a trader). I’m an amateur.

Here’s my photo for week 1 of Project 52. Wow, I almost didn’t make the deadline.

This week I spent a couple evenings with my Grandma. Since my Grandpa passed away on December 16th, she has been staying with my parents. My parents had a couple obligations this week and didn’t want to leave her alone. My Grandma has dementia and can’t do many things for herself.

I remember when I was in high school, my Grandparents volunteered at our local hospital. They would sit and visit with sick people, people they didn’t even know. My Grandma always brought a bottle of nail polish. As she was visiting with the sick ladies she would offer to paint their nails, most said yes. Girls love to be girls! This week I painted my own nails with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and then offered to paint my Grandma’s nails pink. She loved it .

P.S. I promise I won’t give this much of an explanation on each Project 52 photo. I just liked this story.
