Time is a Tickin'

Are you like me and when you look at the calendar you think..."oh there is plenty of time to get prepared for whatever..." and then all of a sudden you look again and all the "plenty" has turned into "not very much."  Today is Monday and then tomorrow will be Friday and the day after that will be Thanksgiving.  OMG...!!

Thanksgiving is celebrated here with my daughter's family, all six of them.  Next weekend will be the first time Brie (my youngest granddaughter) will be home from college since leaving in August.  She has had a pretty rough go this semester with sickness...started out the year with a bad cold and missed the first day of school and now has Whooping Cough, missing several days this past week.  If I am sick all I want is to crawl into my own bed, not some college dorm or apartment with many other students.  Brie is making progress, but not without meds and rest.  She is going to have to scurry to complete her assignments prior to coming home for the Thanksgiving Break. Any extra prayers for her would be appreciated for her speedy recovery.

This year, along with the preparations for the family Thanksgiving meal, I will also be having a Christmas photo shoot with my daughter's family.  We are trying to decide where and and what attire to wear.  I saw a great shot today of a family leaning, standing, sitting on a fence all wearing jeans, red plaids & navy blue with it snowing.  I think I can find the fence, get everyone to wear jeans & red plaids, but the snow might be a problem.  Thanksgiving is tricky here, it could be mild and sunny or snowy and cold.  Tough to plan an outdoor photo shoot.

Then prior to this I promised to have a framed piece of my photography for our Annual Advent Tea raffle for our church.  I have really fretted about this...what size, what image how to frame it??  And that must be done by Sunday.  As I stated at the beginning of this post...the time has reached the "not very much".

I could do a print like this.....

or a rose print...

Or a fall leaf....

I think all photographer's go thru this, picking just one.  Don't you agree??

Well, must go, have too much to do and time is a tickin'.

"Don't say you don't have enough time.  You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Theresa, Leonardo DaVinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein."  ~  H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Until next time....
