Weekend Update

This past weekend was filled with activity:

Friday night my husband and I stayed at home and put up and decorated our Christmas tree. Actually he did most of the work. I was too busy taking pictures then helping. I put some ornaments on the tree.

Saturday morning I traveled to Ann Arbor to meet my photo friend Stacy. We decided to photograph at cemetery. While there, we photographed a mausoleum, Christmas ornaments in a tree, statues, headstones and a burial plot. I was all about the burial plot then Stacy suddenly says that she is done and sits back in her Jeep. I finish taking photos and then she said a guy was in the sitting in the truck that dug the burial plot. I looked over at him and he was looking at us. We left the scene in a hurry. After the cemetery we went to a park and shot photos of a wood fence and cabin-like building. After that we ended our day with some good photos and agreed to try to meet again before she moves.

Saturday night after church, my husband and I went to the Toledo Zoo to see the Lights before Christmas. It was 10 years ago that my husband took me to the zoo on our second date to see the lights. We try to go see the lights every year. Besides seeing the beautiful lights, it was very cold. I'm glad I took my scarf with me. I used it to cover my face from the brisk wind. After seeing the lights we had dinner at Olive Garden. YUM-O!

Sunday morning I got up early to start the housework. I cleaned the kitchen, the bathrooms, swept the carpet and started the laundry. I wanted to get most of that done before heading up to DeWitt to photograph a friend's son 1st birthday party. The party was fun. Andrew received a ton of gifts and I took a bunch of very cute photos. I know my friend Kathy will love them when she sees them. The day ended with the birthday boy getting birthday cake and frosting all over his face, hands and high chair.

It was a busy weekend. Now I'm in the middle of processing my photos from my Ann Arbor trip with Stacy and Andrew's birthday party. All I need now is to find time to finish making my Christmas cards.
