Smile! Click! Smile!

I am sorry for not blogging last night, but I am truly covered up with our first rescue ranch calendar. I am somewhat depressed, because over the years, Tony and I have taken some pretty great pictures, but unfortunately, they were from a 2001 digital camera, and the resolution and size are not good enough to enlarge.

We do have many good pictures to use, but I am sick that we can’t use some of ‘our very best.’ So this morning, Tony and I spent over two hours taking more pictures outside—a total of 379 to be exact! After our photo shoot and giving tours, I sat behind my laptop, downloading three different cameras—deleting, viewing and cleaning up ones using Photoshop, etc. Luckily, I am almost there! The pictures look really great! I love them!

I never realized how much went into making calendars, and about to turn fifty-seven years old or eight in dog years hasn't helped. As soon as I select the thirteen big shots, out of the twenty six best, then narrow it down to sixty two small shots, out of eighty nine pictures, come up with twelve quotes, and write twelve short stories for each big picture—I will be ready to turn it in to the printer. And, I’ve set my personal deadline for this Monday! Please wish me luck.

Today, my blog has now received over 30,000 hits, and I am so thrilled! I can’t believe it! Its one year anniversary is September 30th—when Abbie threw flour all over the kitchen and big room! I am thinking about possibly running some advertisements on it, but not sure, yet.

P.S. This morning when I went over to see Kinky—I was so glad to see The Navigator parked out in front of the Lodge! Y’all have a great evening—I’m fixin’ to, in about five minutes—in Outer Space with Tone!
