Camera usage

A holiday weekend. Can you think of a better time to use your camera then a long holiday weekend? A weekend filled with multiple family get together's? Geez me either. I guess that is why I am still wondering no matter where I went this weekend I failed to bring my camera or if I did bring it failed to use it for even one picture.

Here is Thanksgiving weekend summed up.

It all started a week ago Saturday with Thanksgiving at the farm. Everyone was able to make it and it was a wonderful time for all. The kids played together wonderfully and the food was of coarse wonderful. The food was so wonderful that we decided for Christmas we would not try to out do ourselves so we will stick to pizza and soup.
Next up Wednesday night. The kids were with Grandma Ann so I decided to start unloading the Christmas decorations. I got the garland and trees upstairs completed as well as the kitchen and bathroom decorations up. The only thing left was the tree. I have no time, I mean no time these day people so I had to fudge a little on the "Respect the bird" rule around our place but decided to place it on the safe side and hold off on the tree. Better safe then sorry. I was a little afraid if I did not respect the bird and his day then I may not have anything to open under the tree!!
Thursday was great, good food, nice fire in the fireplace and then. Well then it pretty much came to an exciting end when Grandma Ann's garbage disposal blew out. Yeah, that is the best way I can describe it. We were in the kitchen cleaning up the last of the dishes when AHHHHH. Yeah, there was water and minced food all over the floor and I will spare you the description of what lay beneath the sink. Yuck.
Next up Friday. National Shopping day around here and we put up the tree!!
Saturday we headed out to Papa's house with Hunter and Aunt Carrie. Poor T was sick. Sick with a nasty cough and sinus infection. It was nice to see everyone and get to play some left, right, center. Somehow I never even came close to winning but Aunt Carrie won twice. Yeah, Jeremy was super excited about that one :). Then we headed back home after making sure Grandpa was going to be okay after his hernia surgery. Hang in there Grandpa, it has to get better!!
Sunday was hanging of the greens at church and pick up as much stuff around the house as you can and GET IT TO YOUR ROOM day.
Today, today was stay home from work day to wrap all your good buys from Friday. That only took me three and half hours to complete. Now back to shopping on the Internet....
