Lots of Time, Lots of Photos
I’m sitting here listening to Aaron Goldberg, because his complex jazz tunes make me feel more sophisticated than lonely. My guys went camping, and while I usually welcome the alone time, I’m a bit bummed by Sage not waking up in the morning and doing his egg search around the house. It’ll have to wait until the afternoon. I did make him a basket, though.
I’ll spare you my usual Easter rant about the chocolate crosses this year. Happy Easter!
So, yes, they went camping, and the weather outside looks like this.
They aren’t too far away, so I suppose if it gets really yukky, they’ll come home.
Can you tell that I’m enjoying my copy of Photoshop Elements? After using the grownup version of Photoshop for years, I find Elements 7 to be very refreshing. I’m not trying to make counterfeit money or anything, so it works just fine. I took some pics of my craftiness that has resurfaced lately.
Indonesian Kitty had an operation. Three years of sitting on my desk was just too much for her.
I find that I have good taste. I found my Knoll table in Elle Decor, and they put the same (more or less) chairs with it that I bought at the much less expensive West Elm. I actually like my West Elm chairs better than the ones shown.
Why do they still have crap like this in decorating magazines???
On a happier note, Sage is doing so well. He’s had five piano lessons, and practices daily like a pro, with hardly any of the choppy stuff that you would expect to hear. He plays with both hands already and listening to him is a pleasure. He also learned how to crochet pretty easily. I taught him chain, single and double, and he made a carrot! Not on purpose, but even though he skipped stitches, he got how to make the stitches down pat.
Here’s a couple of pics of him making spicy chocolate cookies.
Yep. I’m really enjoying having a decent camera and editing software again.

I must’ve looked at the site when you were tweaking the layout. When I clicked on a page each time it was a different picture in the background! =)

Beautiful photos! I’m home alone on Easter (no kids) and am finding it utterly depressing. Even at their advanced ages, I still did Easter baskets; last year was lots of fun. I guess I just have to accept the changes and make the best of it. *sniff* Both my girls thrived on piano lessons, especially the younger. She still plays constantly and it is a joy!

Hi Michelle! You sounded a tad lonely in your post…
I’m so pleased that Sage is doing well at the piano. I’m a pianist myself, and I can tell you that the openings for pianists are many & huge – not just for money, but also for recreation. There’s such a shortage of pianists. I also play any keyboard instrument, and thus am in demand (too much demand) from amateur dramatic societies, the local theatre, schools & churches! So I hope that Sage keeps up the piano – it will offer him so much in the future.

So sorry you had tough morning with Sage being gone. Hope the rest of the day went well. It looks like you guys had fun making cookies though! Still amazes me how much he has grown. Time flies. And you gotta love Elements. I am debating on whether or not to get the newest version or wait.
