Fun with Food Fridays

Introducing Fun with Food Fridays!

We have had fun taking pictures of food lately with our new camera. I know, a tell tale sign that we have been taken by the shutter bug. These are intermixed photos taken by my daughter and I. Here is our fun with food:

Bad Day, Wonderful Husband

Yesterday I had a really bad day. Called my husband bemoaning my situation and what does he do? First he has an hour drive home, then he had an appointment at our old house about some work on the kitchen, but he still took time to stop and get me these:

Roses! Sigh. My favorite. Bad day, wonderful husband. He made my day. Really.

My husband got me roses the first Valentine’s Day we were together. I was working in Halifax and they were delivered to my door, while he was in Florida! Then on visits between Canada and the States he quite often had a rose on the seat of the car when he picked me up from the airport. Romantic man, eh? He doesn’t get me flowers often, but when he does he always surprises me. He said my sad, weary face yesterday lit up when I saw the roses. :-) Then he told me he loves surprising me. Awww….While he and the roses brightened my day, I was not totally alleviated from my rough patch as the situation stayed on my mind late into the night and is still on my mind today. However, I do smile every time I look at these and stop to smell them, and I did enjoy taking pictures of them….except doing the top view because I am not tall enough to look down through the lense to get a decent photo!

Please note: These are actually grocery store roses and are doing wonderful so far. My husband is really picky about flowers and hates it when the roses do not open up! Then again, so do I!

Unveiling Our New Camera….Wordless Wednesday

If I could insert a Tim Allen sound (the one he always made on Home Improvement) I would and I did just click the link. You know the sound I mean, the one he made when he was very pleased with himself. Not that I am saying we are pleased with ourselves, but then again….maybe I am….;-)

New Camera


Old Camera


This is our old one, at least the back side. See the purple duct tape on the right hand side? It’s to hold the cover to the battery in place. It is missing a lense since the children took it outside so it takes even blurrier pictures. All our Thanksgiving and Christmas photos have this blur to them. :-( Reminds me of the quality of photos those old 110 cameras use to take.

Very thankful for our new camera. Yay Nikon!
