Post Office

Anyone else hate going to the Post Office? Just the thought of it makes me cringe--and I always procrastinate that task like there's no tomorrow. Well, as you can guess, that's what I finally went and did today--mail a couple of things from the Post Office. It actually wasn't that bad today--I didn't have to wait 45 min. like it seems I usually have to do.

I also went and picked up some pictures that I had printed--some pics of my niece, nephew, and sister that I took here at my home (these haven't been cropped):





















I used a vinyl background and natural light--mid-morning in front of a window on the west side of the house. This was my first attempt at home studio photography. I need to try a different time of the day so more light comes in and/or buy some lighting devices. Let me know what you think.

I only completed one LO today, which I'm not really fond of (plus the colors wouldn't scan right) but here it is:



















Other than that, I didn't do a whole heck of a lot today, besides visit teach, because I had a headache all day. But I am relieved that the Primary program is over! It was yesterday and it went really well, except for the fact that I wish it would have lasted about 10 more minutes. But all of the kids did really well with their parts and OK with the songs (they could have sang louder but we did get comments that they sang clear and could be understood). I was a very proud Primary president! :)

Fall pics

I've been wanting all month to go for a drive up the canyon to get some fall pictures. Most of the month was kind of overcast and gloomy and other days I just couldn't go or didn't feel like it. I finally went today but all of the aspens have lost their leaves already. I did get a few pretty pictures, though, just not the awesome fall photos I had hoped for (these are straight from the camera):
