About an 8th day...


The week got away from me. Between school, work and the kids I was robbed of my blogging time.
It seems I either need an 8th day of the week or assistants. In hopes of an 8th day I could not end the week without a giveaway and a few pictures.

Since I have repeatedly called her a social butterfly every weekend there is a shindig. She thought it would be funny to dress like a butterfly and carry her cell phone everywhere for the first of 3 Halloween parties she has this weekend.

Tropical Storm Sandy is missing us but with the weather she brought great clouds and a gorgeous sunset to our coast.

A quick idea...

*********************************************
Polaroid...

I fell in love with photography back in 1978 when my mother was shopping at Sears and the newest of the Polaroid Instant Cameras came out on the market. I was mesmerized with the new camera and I had to sit down like a good student to be shown and demonstrated the new magical camera that would automatically spit out a picture already developed.

I sat there until I heard the click and the zoom like noise. I ran to her after she took my picture because I did not want to miss the moment the picture would actually come out of that camera. As she shook it and blew on it... shook it some more... Which I thought were the moves needed for the final image to develop. Right there at Sears… I fell in love with photography.

Frozen time, helping my memory, capturing history. These were all the thoughts I had in those short minutes at the age 6. A moment so intense and one that would change my life forever


Have a great weekend peeps...

Please stay sweet.
