Karen's New Photoshop Work

Photoshop by Karen



Boy, that Karen sure is getting good at putting together photoshop special effects. The following are pictures of my niece, Emma, looking quite pale. Followed by Jennifer's ginger look.



Karen's picture finalizes her Photoshop work.

Everyone has one....And I...well, I have my own, too. My own Don.


You know sometimes you don't realize how much people you don't even know help make it easier for you through some of the toughest times of your life. And, those people don't know themselves. Well, I just want to go on record to say that the Eagles are those people who I am talking about. And, Henley, is the one guy who I am talking about. Fell for his poetry and voice back in the 70s and have not forgotten him, since then. Yep, he's older since the above picture, but that was the Eagle I fell for back in the 70s. Still love him today--even his mouth and activism that most hate about him. I wish I had the courage to say some of the stuff he is so at ease to say. Boy, I loved it when he put out his own platters. Didn't like all his songs on those albums (The End Of The Innocence being an exception), but the few I did like stuck by me. Here's to you, Don. Love you guy and thanks for being there. Wish I knew you personally to let me you know how much you have pulled me through some tough times in my life.


And, to the Eagles. Love you guys. Your wonderful music and lyrics was the one positive constant in my life, besides my family. Without much of your timeless body of work, it would have been a much more trying time. I lost myself for about 17 years, but I'm back and you guys still shine in my heart and soul. Stay with me....I won't forget you guys.

PS: This is one picture that Don isn't wearing his field boots, but a nice pair of black cowboy boots. I've always wondered why and I guess I'll always wonder why; unless, some else knows why.

My Girls and their dogs


Karen really loves her dog, Jinxie. And, Jinx is such a funny little sort. She loves to run in circles and yaps as she runs about. Jinxie is such a silly little dog.

Jinxie is also a con- and escape artist. She loves to escape under the small crack in the fence and will go to the front door and asks to be put in. She loves this playful little act. When she's not doing that, she loves to wrestle with one of the cats.

I wonder what Jinxie would look like, if she was groomed and shaved!







Claudia - The Hyper Dog


Jennifer'
s little dog, Claudia, is so funny as well. Claudia loves everyone that comes to house and wants to be the center of attention. She doesn't like to wait for the guest to make her acquaintance--she makes the introduction or says hello first.


Jennifer was given Claudia when Claudia was about 6 weeks old. We were visiting the Animal Shelter when some good Samaritan came in with the puppy that she scooped up off of I-30. Jennifer immediately fell in love with her and without have skipping a beat, the puppy was given to Jennifer without having to go into the shelter. Claudia is so sweet.
