Repost of $50 photo...Oops!

I am so new to this Photobucket thing that i accidentally deleted my photos from my album on PB which in turn deleted the photos here. I wanted to repost the $50 photo because i am so proud of it. Plus, it's a funny store (see 2 posts below for full story...if you haven't read it).
Thanks.

Jack in the window.

Hello.
I just wanted to stop in quick and post this photo.
Jack (and the other cats, too) love to sit in my bathroom window and look out over the back yard. I have been dying to catch this in a photograph and today i was able to.

I actually scrapbooked today. I did 4 more layout for our Disney December 2007. I am only about 4-6 layouts away from being done with the whole book. I can't wait.

I will try and share some layouts in the next couple days.

Have a great Monday.

Updated: Jeep in Snow

I thought i would add another photo from our little adventure on Thursday.
It doesn't look too bad does it. Hard to believe we were so stuck that we had to be towed out.

Thanks to everyone who visited and your kind words about the $50 Photograph. I think i will have to frame it, especially now that i can laugh about it.

Have a great weekend!

The $50 photograph.

Photobucket

An interesting day!

My day off, so we decide to get out of the house and head to Woodstock. For those of you not familiar with Woodstock it is a small town not too far from where we live and it is famous because the film Groundhog Day with Bill Murray was filmed there. We decided it would be fun to bring my camera and take some photos of the beautiful countryside. (Insert regret here).

Driving down country road.

Me(Vicky): Oooh, that was pretty.
Joel: Do you want me to turn around?
V: No, that's okay.
J: Are you sure?
V: Okay, yeah, lets.

Turning around.

Pulling off the side of the road. Getting stuck in the snow. And not just stuck. STUCK!
I have a Jeep Liberty. We were STUCK! We couldn't get out.

Not in 4 wheel, not with two big men pushing, not no way, not no how.
Unbelievable...I have never gotten stuck. NEVER. I am freaking out.

We call a tow truck.

Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.

I decide i am going to go get that dang photo, after all that is what got us into this mess.

The tow truck arrived (he even had a hard time getting us out) and we paid $50 for his service.

Thus, as seen above, The $50 photo.

I didn't really take anymore photos. I was pretty done.

I'm trying to get back to this...

I haven't been around much, i haven't had much reason to blog. Things have been tough around here. Joel has now been out of work for 4 months. My company is doing okay but it is retail and i am always a little concerned.

I was trying to go photo heavy here but for some reason every time i upload a photo i get kicked off line...so irritating. So, here are a few photos and i will try to keep up with this better.
First of all, Happy New Year.



Jack and Catherine say "HI".




I got this shot of a female cardinal on our deck. They are so hard to shoot, they are so skittish, but i am thrilled with this shot.





I made this wreath last month. It is made with non-breakable ornaments and a hanger. I got the idea off Two-Peas, it is a take off of wreaths that Starbucks had in their shops over the holidays.





I guess that is all for now...i will be back soon.

Thanks so much for checking back in.

Have a great day,

Vicky
