• Had a great day today!

  
  

  Jaime has been here for a couple of days ... she made a special trip from Tallinn to hold a one-on-one 'Digital Darkroom' class just for me. She spent the day teaching me how to crop, clone, sharpen, blur, lasso, color correct, batch process, read histogram levels ... and heal. I learned how to create a PowerPoint slide show (with music) and remove unwanted items from a photo. My favorite unwanted thing to remove ... those unsightly blemishes that mess up an otherwise beautiful face. I'm so excited about that! Now, if I could just figure out how to remove the double chin and the saggy arms, that would be something. Guess that will have to wait for a more skilled surgeon than I am. =0).

  
  

  Above all, the fellowship of a precious young lady has been the greatest blessing we've enjoyed today. Last night, we cooked chicken-fried steak, which she says is her favorite and tonight Brandi spoiled her with grilled hamburgers that she says she's been craving for quite some time. At least she won't leave here hungry.

  
  

  Anyway ... she and I have had some wonderful 'mother-daughter' talks ... and Kayli and her have been telling stories and giggling all evening. So good to hear those giggles.

  
  

  Hope you are blessed with fellowship and lots of giggles in your life today.
