No, I didn't die...

My computer did. And when it died, I couldn't remember my user ID and password. Couldn't even remember what website I was using. Actually, I think I forgot about my blog. That is life!

I hit the big 50 during the time I didn't blog. I am excited and looking forward to getting old...even if I refuse to grow up! I am planning on returning to college in the fall for one class. It's been so long since I've had to study, I think I will only try one class. Plus, I will only be able to afford one book! The last time I went to college, my most expensive book was about $50. And it only cost $10 to attend for a semester.

I don't know if I shared the exciting information about my photography. Two of the photographs that I entered in the local county fair won blue ribbons. I think seeing those pictures with the ribbons hanging by them made me believe that I can take good pictures...once in a while!

I have been having fun using the new computer. I have decided that Photoshop, even Elements isn't that user friendly. Just an opinion, of course. I still plan on trying to figure it out, even if I tend to go back to my old program since I figured out how to use it a long time ago.

It has been a long day, so I will close for today.


Passing a garbage dump today
I was gifted with a sight of great beauty.
Though the dump was dismal
Large patches of Owl's Clover had covered
the hills meant to hide the remains of our lives.
