Project 366: (Days 131-132)

Can you hear me squealing with delight knowing I'm about to be caught up? I got some nice comments about the everyday feel of my pictures. Thank you so much! That's really what these photos are--life pretty unscripted. I am disappointed with how awful the quality is but I haven't had time to learn or practice. I hate that sometimes you can see the paper on the counters or blue tape on the walls but that's life and that is what I'm documenting.

Happy Friday!

Well, the weekend came and went and I didn't get any pix published! I'm back. I'm limiting myself to 30 minutes. That goes fast when you have a S-L-O-W computer. However, I HAVE to get to some of my floors today.
