Real quick photo post

My job today with my Joy of Love photo challenge was Hobbies or Interests.

I was determined to make today's assignment...whatever it was... fit in with a visit to a friend of mine who is in the throes of recovery from a severely broken leg. As in, broke it on the Christmas holiday and still can't bear weight on it at all.
Talk about put a cramp in your style.

I decided a collection was something of an "Interest"... wouldn't you say so too?

Well, she has all of her Precious Moments as well as those passed down to her from her Mother.
Oh...you may not know what Precious Moments are!
Here is a glimpse of a few.

They are super cute, rounded out, pale colored themed figurines.

Any occasion in your life...wait
Any Precious Moment in your life surely has a corresponding figure to go with it.

I thought this one went nicely with our theme and month!


I took that one out of this case!

But then there is also this case, and another one, and another one and assorted figures all about the house.


My camera toting self triggered a memory of this little darlin' and she hobbled out on her crutches with it in her pocket!

It looks just like me don't ya think??

Okay, friends...that is all for today.
I must jet, so much to do!

Just for fun

My dog is not allowed on the furniture.
She is not allowed on the beds, sofas, chairs...nothing.

This is a travesty for her since in her previous life I believe she was the couch diva!

So, whenever I sit on the floor, or even close to the floor she comes in for a landing.

She is especially happy about it when I have been gone for an hour and a half, which in doggie time is such a long long long time.

The other night I sat in my husbands "office" room in the bean bag so I could chat with him and Shelby quickly worked her way onto my lap.


She doesn't curl up in a cute little ball, or put her head on my shoulder.
Nope, this is the seating arrangement of choice, with her legs dangling between mine and her neck blissfully stretched out on my knee.

Word to my husband who took this photo for me after I tweaked all the settings. He did a great job with my coaching don't ya think?
I am pretty sure we shot this at ISO 1600 f/3.5.
Real post to come later today!!
