If you can spring for lighting, do it! Glen and his team will light the ceiling and dance floor, as well as pin-spotted the cake and each of the floral centerpieces. His services are reasonable and worth every last cent

SONS

For those who have sons & those of you who are happy that you don't;) A friend sent me the cutest email today of funny sayings & images of boys being boys. I can relate to several of the following....
12. Super glue is forever.

3. A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

15. VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

and the toad pictures...

I have done allot of equipment upgrades, and was looking at everything that I have & trying to evaluate what I really need;) and have decided to sale those things that I do not have a use anymore so that someone else can continue to get great use of them.

Aspherical lens element preserves sharpness and color clarity from edge to edge
Lightweight standard zoom lens with superior optical performance plus a built-in Image Stabilizer. The IS system reduces the possibility of blurred photographs caused by camera shake, enabling hand-held photography in comparatively dim light without a flash or tripod.

All of my equipment is in MINT condition. No scratches, flaws, etc. I have always taken good care of my things. This lens comes with complete boxes, manuals, cords...ect.

Beauty and The Beast

My daughter and I went to see Tecumseh High School Choir's productions of Beauty and The Beast on Sunday and I was completely Blown away! What a talented group of people...from the singing, set, orchestra, costumes and acting...o'my gosh everything! Great job guys!!!!! I'm pretty sure I'll see some of you on Broadway someday.

My good friend of many years "Tara" her son Josh and daughter Saxzonee are part of the cast...Josh played the Beast and Sax cheese grater and townspeople. I'm so proud of them...sitting there I was thinking back of them as toddlers...I got a little teary eyed. They have grown up to be wonderful people. I can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
