I got to spend the night at my mom's Saturday.  We cleaned up the "sled making shop", started building a sled...actually I guess I just sanded some pieces...and then Sunday morning we went for a "run" in the woods with the dogs.  That picture is from the quad that the dogs were pulling (with me and my mom on it).  I wish I had a better camera and it had been lighter out but it was grey and misty and pretty dark (not DARK but dim) so most of my photos didn't turn out.  But I got a few that I like so it wasn't horrible.  I know I mentioned this before but I really love to go along when they run the dogs.  I can't even describe what it's like to know those 8 dogs are pulling the quad along...and it's so quiet (other than the motor).  They don't make any noise.  And my mom just says the commands (Gee, haw, on-by) and they LISTEN.  Mostly.  And she doesn't even have to yell these things...she can say it in her normal voice and they will do it.  I wish my kids were that good.

Then Sunday I went to my dad & Karen's to visit and I got to see my little sister's senior pictures.  I'm just in shock every time I think about her going off to college next year.  I just can not believe she's that old already.  She's going to do great...I really don't have many worries when it comes to Kimmy.  She's such a good person and she knows what is important. 

When I went to leave I realized I had locked my keys in my car.  You know what?  I have locked my keys in my car a total of 4 times in my life.  All 4 of those times have been in the past 2 years (and 2 of them in the past month).  I don't know what my problem is.  I am going to have to make extra keys this week.  Poor Mike had to drive all the way out there just to open the door (my parents live about 30 minutes away).  Mike is such a good husband...he never even said anything.  He just gave me my keys and gave me the look (the "You are such a dork" look) and left.  If it had been me having to drive that far at night I would have had something to say.  I guess I should follow his example.

Tonite was our 3rd Photography group meeting.  Lori taught us about composition in art and it was really interesting to see what it is that makes art interesting.  Hopefully we can take it and carry it over to our photos.  We're hopefully going to go to Frederik Meijer Gardens for the Christmas & Holidays traditions around the World thing.  I hope it goes better this time.  Geesh.

Well, I had better get going.  It's late and I want to watch the news so I can see how cold I'm going to be tomorrow.
