Toys

Rose is excited today.

Today is our town's Christmas Parade

She know's who is at the end of the parade.

Santa!

After church we took Rose to lunch.

She was telling us how Santa was going to give her toys.

Her Papa Lloyd asked her what kind of toys.

Rose said "Pink."

Attempt#1 At Capturing Some Christmas Lights ...boohiss!

These pictures were taken using a different setting and my low light lens on my Nikon.

I need more practice, obviously.

It worked great on those pictures I took of my Christmas ornaments.

Boohiss...oh well.

There is a house here in town that has their lights hooked up to their computer.

They also have channels on the radio so that area residents can pull up to their house, tune their car radio and every half hour get a light show set to music. Christmas music.

This is that house.

Maybe we will take Rose and the camcorder soon and I'll post a little of the show here for you guys to see.

Was attempting some bokeh and it didn't work well.

Am a newbie to the bokeh process.

Sorry dudes.

This guy didn't want to be asked if he wanted lemon with his water.

Dear Waitress: just bring it next time and let him decide without the questions.

xo

But hey, the bokeh is better, no?

East Zinn

Ten miles from town is a town with a street named East Zinn.

On East Zinn there is a restaurant and at this very restaurant, tonight, I had some din-din with the hubs.

Tonight we ate upstairs in the bar area. There are booths up there with a cheetah print on the seats, it's kinda cool.

Our booth this go around had a window and from that window I thought this scene was mood inspiring.

It is a small town with a few nice spots to eat, an antique store that I can spend a couple of hours in if I do it right and a yearly motorcycle meet at this very same intersection.

And that's pretty much it.

We had a nice dinner and the place was filled with happy families.

Not too loud, not too bright and the food and company were wonderful.

It's December.

Life is good.
