PAM's FIRST BAKE SALE

My daughter , Pam, will be the first to admit she is no domestic goddess. She thinks COOK is a 4-letter word of the worst kind. Dinners at her house are a steady variety of pizza, pasta and taquitos.

HOWEVER, today she had to actually turn on the oven and BAKE cookies for my granddaughter's dance company bake sale tonight. This is the first time Pam has ever had to do a bake sale.

She decided to start out easy and got the slice & ready to bake cookies. What could possibly go wrong?????


Below are photos of Pam's first attempt at bake sale goods




Luckily no one was injured in the making of the Chocolate Chip Delights.

She did think quickly and got everyone, including pets out WHILE she called 911. Very little damage was done to the house and except for the horrid smoke smell....a totally ruined oven....ruined walls and curtains in the kitchen....all is well.

SUMMER SKIPPED COLORADO

Old Stone Church in Estes Park, CO

Canon Xsi, kit lens

Summer skipped Colorado this year. Last I remember it was the end of May and we were anxious for warm weather. All of the sudden, it's Fall. Leaves have changed... cool weather has set in and winter is just around the corner.

I have accomplished nothing all summer. No vacations...no nothing. Seems I spent the summer sitting in doctors offices. Tomorrow is my LAST attempt at a Specialist. If he can't make a diagonisis... I give up!!!!

On the bright side... At least I am feeling a tad better.

Have decided I sorta like the Canon Xsi. While I still prefer my Nikons, the Canon is lightweight and does turn out some decent shots. I don't like the way the buttons are set up ... especially the ISO..... very difficult to manipulate. But all in all a good camera and I give it a thumbs up.
