What could happen to us if Prop 8 doesn't pass!!!

This is an interview with the dad and mom in Massachusetts that requested parent notification of same sex marriage instruction at their 5 year old's school.

Please consider emailing this to anyone and everyone on your email list and asking them to do likewise.

Area Director Grassroots Prop 8

I hope this can be spread far and wide…………….a needed message for our country.

Photo Editing Fun with Picnik.com!

I'm not a good photographer, so thankfully they have these websites to help me make up for my many photo taking inadequacies. Plus, I think this can be quite fun! I heard from my friend Cece (a photographer) about this site that offers free photo editing! Just wanted to pass on the good news! http://www.picnik.com/ . Here's an example, (I don't like the way I look in this picture.)

BEFORE picnik (taken in sepia:)The purpose of taking these shots was to possibly use one for Advertising my violin studio and free-lance violin work.

AFTER using picnik:I'm more likely to use a sketch picture for privacy sake, but it is just ok... but it was fun to try to create some other options using different effects. Our family picture-top right- was also created using picnik. Ughh, enough pics of me. I'll have to blog again soon! Happy editing! This can be so much fun!

No posts...no time

I've not posted for some time because I've been swamped and have been sick. This month has flown by!! We took a little day trip on this water taxi. It was just $2 total and we were gone an hour for the round trip. It was a fun thing to do together as a family. My only advice to anyone thinking of doing it, is to park in a parking lot other than the one for the Queen Mary. 0-59 min is free. After that you have to pay a day charge. ;)
