The Wild, Wild West

Tomorrow the boys and I are off to Donleys Wild West Town. God help me their gonna be shootin' the guns and diggin' for gold. I think they can even ride a horse.....I hope Mr. Ed's there he was a fav of mine when I was a kid.

Hello, I'm Mister Ed

A horse is a horse, of course of course,
and no one can talk to a horse of course,
that is of course, unless the horse,
Is the famous Mister Ed!

Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister Ed.

People yak-it-ti-yak a streak
and waste your time of day,
but Mister Ed will never speak,
unless he has something to say...

A horse is a horse, of course of course,
And this one will talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this...

I am Mister Ed

:0) Tell ya'll all 'bout it t'morrow.

Cannon Rebel XSI


I also picked up this nifty zoom lens.

I have always loved taking pictures and have spent the last few years learning tons about them. I have always shown caution and stuck with the regular digital cameras. The SLR's have always looked so great but they have scared the crap out of me. I mean I can't just point and shoot, I have to know the settings and what to do with them. Well this past weekend m hubby had to get a new laptop so we headed to our fav electronic store. We decided that the laptop could be an early anniversary present. After talking we decided that a new camera could be mine...but only if it was the SLR so I am now the proud owner of a Canon Rebel XSI. I wish I would have taken the plunge earlier...don't get me wrong I still have a lot to learn and will be looking into taking some classes....but I love it. I love controlling the shot and adjusting all the different aspects of the picture.

Here's a few pictures that I have taken.
Here's those curtains I was talking about.


This is one of the rings that I picked up in Sri Lanka last year. I also have earrings and a pendant to match. I love it.


Here are the doggies.


Here's the teddy bear that Donte sent me while he was at school this past January.
