Just got home from a great night of comedy. Gainsborough is a fair distance from London, so we can forgive Norman and his crew for arriving a little late! The compere was Andrew O’Neill. Some of his humour went over my head, but I found most of it funny, and he seems like a nice guy! When Norman came on, we were asked to move closer, so me and Andy got front seats. Norman has a series of slides which goes paralell with his observational humour, and it was well worth the ticket price. Also got an autograph and a blurry photo of Andy with him taken from his phone. Against my daughter’s advice I left the camera at home thinking there wouldn’t be an opportunity to use it! PS. Norman was Holly the computer in Red Dwarf.

Yes that is extreme, but that is how I felt this morning. Today is another day in the world of photographic progression. I am concerned that I getting a little bit too habitual with photo-competitions… Anyway today I am not uploading too much simply because it Friday night and girl has to socialise… So I have uploaded a couple of cow shots and added the following: As with most of my pictures there is a story to go with this… I was doing what was called a random drive… That is where you go for a drive and see where you end up. They really are fun. Anyway I ended up in country lanes and noticed on the hill there were some cows. Originally they were all turned away from me, so I took pictures of their behinds. Then the farmer came along and escorted me into the field. Now the farmer was a lovely old man who had grown up with cows… So there we are an they start running towards me, at this point I am wearing very ‘girl’ shoes. I wear them for driving, so I then realise the cows are not actually going to stop and I am going to have to run. So I ran through plenty of cow poop and jumped a fence. The farmer thought it was hilarious and asked if I would like to meet his sheep next… That is another story… I have to say that is what I love about photography: I always come away with a story… Now all I have to do is come up with a plan to fund the next travels…. Any ideas how? Michelle

Mattie’s Story My 12 year old puppy Mattie has been recently diagnosed with liver cancer. When she had an ultrasound done, the doctor said she needed surgery to remove the tumor and the spleen (the tumor was wrapped completely around it), but it was only a 5-10% chance she would make it through. Well, she did and with flying colors. She was out chasing ducks 2 days later. Unfortunately, I found out the tumor has mastisized before they were able to remove it and cancer spread to her liver. They gave her less than 2 months to live. But, it’s been over 2 months and she’s still going strong. She’s already gone through 2 sessions of chemotherapy without getting sick, but the specialist told me last week not to expect too much. He also let me know approx. how expensive this was going to be. Her treatment includes 5 drugs: Denamarin, Doxorubicin, Cychophosphamide, Piroxicam, and Tramadol. Along with these drugs, she has to go in once a week to check blood and have x-rays/ultrasounds to determine the location and or spread of her cancer.So far, with the tests, surgery, x-rays, etc. the bill is up to $5000. The specialist told me to expect at least $8000 more. I just can’t give up fighting for her though. Whatever I have to do to save her I will do. She’s my kid. I’ve never been able to have children so my pets (Mattie and Checkers, her 16 year old brother) have become my children. Who knew you could ever love something so much. About my kids I adopted Checkers 15 years ago from a local shelter. On the day I met him, he was to be put down since he had been there over 7 months, so I asked if I could adopt him instead and he’s never left my side since. He has been so great taking care of Mattie. Any time he can sense that she’s hurting, he walks up and starts licking her ears and nudges under her chin to curl up & fall asleep. He never leaves Mattie for too long. I met Mattie when she was 6 weeks old. Her mother and 5 brothers and sisters were found starving in an alley Austin Texas until a local took them in and fed them until they were old enough to be adopted out. Most of her sibblings were adopted by the time I got there. Everyone wanted the ones that looked like black labs, which were all of them except Mattie. I stood outside the yard and watched for 10 minutes or so, watching her try everything she could to get any attention at all with no luck. All of a sudden this runt of the litter with her bloated belly and ears and feet that were waaay to big for her little body made a b-line through the yard straight for me. She was the most precious thing that I had ever seen in my entire life. Since then she’s gone everywhere with me, even tubing down the Guadalupe River in her own tube… my puppy freakin’ rocks! The 3 of us have been through everything you can imagine, including almost being homeless. I remember a time when I couldn’t even afford to buy groceries, it was either food for them or for me, so I was able to go for about 5 days without food so my kids could eat. Mattie has even saved me twice, once from a bad boyfriend and once from myself. She has never once given up on me, so there’s no way I’m giving up on her. Our Goal So far, We’ve tried to get grants from non-profit organizations but have been turned down by all of them, reasons being: she’s too old, we live in the wrong state, or they don’t pay for longterm medical assistance like chemo. Now, to try to raise money for Mattie’s bills, I’ve set up The Mattie Cancer Fund on my website. Here you can check out Mattie’s Photo Journal to see her daily progress and make donations. I’ve also designed a cute sticker with Mattie’s photo on it saying “I helped save a life today”. Anyone who donates $20 or more will recieve a sticker in the mail, so make sure to enter your name & address when making your donations. The donations have been set up through paypal for safe and secured transactions. Also, I’ve put several photos of Mattie and Checkers on tees and artwork on redbubble.com, cafepress.com, and my website. So the more pieces I sell, the closer I can get to giving her the help she needs. If anyone knows of any other ways to raise/receive money, I can use ANY and ALL the help I can get. If you know other animal lovers that may want to help Mattie, please pass this site along to them.

I just want to give a big THANK YOU out to those who have purchased my “PETA” shirt. I never imagined it would sell this good. So to those of you who have purchased this shirt…....I hope you enjoy it!!!!! I just wanted to say thank you and how much each sale means to me!!!!! Now that I see people can get crude humor, I’d like to see this shirt somehow finding it’s way to the Olsen Twins….seeing that they have issues with PETA on a continuing level. I know they would find the humor in this shirt!!!! But at last, that is only a dream!!!! LOL

I’M NOT REALLY SURE IF THIS IS A WRITING OR WHAT IS KNOWN AS A JOURNAL ENTRY. IT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM A LOCAL FISHING TRIP AND I HAD TO PICK UP A PRESCRIPTION FROM MY PHARMACIST AT A LOCAL WALLGREEN. ANYWAY, LIKE I SAID, I HAD BEEN FISHING AT MY FAVORITE FISHING HOLE ON MONTEZUMA SLOUGH IN THE SACRAMENTO DELTA WATER SYSTEM NEAR A TOWN CALLED SUISUN, IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. I KNEW I HAD TO GO TO THE PHARMACY LATER THAT MORNING TO PICK UP MY MEDS, SO I FIGURED IF I HAD TO START MY TRUCK, I MIGHT AS WELL MAKE IT MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN JUST DRIVING 6 OR 7 BLOCKS AND THEN BACK TO THE HOUSE. HELL, BY THEN THE ENGINE IS NOT EVEN WARMED UP GOOD AND ISN’T RUNNING AT IT’S BEST, EVEN BY THE TIME I TURN BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SO, I WENT FISHING. AFTERWARDS, I HAD TO DRIVE RIGHT PAST THE WALLGREEN STORE WHERE MY PRESCRIPTIONS ARE PREPARED AT, SO IT WAS A NATURAL DECISSION TO STOP. THE PHARMACY AT WALLGREENS IS, LIKE MOST OTHER STORES, ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK CORNER OF THE STORE, WHERE THE COOLER AIR FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER DOESN’T REACH VERY WELL. ESPECIALLY NOW, IN THIS AREA, THE OUTSIDE WEATHER IS TRYING TO CHANGE FROM HOT TO COOLER. A LOT OF PLACES HAVE ALREADY TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND TURNED ON THE HEATER. SO, IT GETS WARM. BACK TO THE POINT. WHEN I GOT TO THE BACK OF THE STORE, THERE WAS A LINE OF ABOUT 4 PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME AND ONE OF THEM WAS A TALL, DARK HAIRED, FAIRLY ATTRACTIVE LADY OF ABOUT 45 OR SO, I WOULD SAY. SHE WAS TRYING TO FAN HERSELF WITH HER SUNGLASSES TO COOL DOWN AND NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK WITH IT. JUST ABOUT THAT TIME, THE FOLKS AT THE COUNTER LEFT AND THE LADY IN FRONT OF MISS WARM BLOODED, STEPPED UP TO THE COUNTER. BY THIS TIME, THIS TALL, FAIRLY ATTRACTIVE GALL, WAS REALLY STARTING TO PRESPIRE AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO FAINT. SO, SHE FINALLY GOT TO STEP UP TO THE COUNTER AND TAKE CARE OF HER BUSINESS, BUT SHE WAS TOLD BY THE PHARMACISTS ASSISTANT THAT HER PRESCRIPTION WASN’T READY AND IT WOULD ONLY BE A MINUTE OR TWO. WELL, THIS GALL WAS ABOUT FLUSTERED AT THIS POINT AND SHE MADE A REMARK TO THE ASSISTANT THE SHE WAS VERY WARM AND SHE WAS GOING TO GO SIT DOWN AND WAIT FOR HER MEDICATIONS. WELL, WHEN SHE COMMENTED ON BEING WARM AND NEEDED TO SIT DOWN, THE SMART ASS, QUICK WITTED SIDE OF ME, WHICH HAS HAUNTED ME SINCE I WAS A KID, CAME OUT. I’M RATHER TALL, AT 6’4” AND I HAVE A BALDING HEAD WITH A BEARD, SO I STAND OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB IN MOST PLACES. ANYWAY, I LOOKED AT THIS FAIRLY ATTRACTIVE LADY AND WITH AN OPPOLOGETIC VOICE I SAID, “I’M SORRY,,,,,,,,,,I SOMETIMES AFFECT WOMEN THAT WAY”. SHE KIND OF CAUGHT HERSELF FOR A MOMENT AND SHE SAID, “I’M SORRY, WHAT DID YOU SAY”? AND I SAID AGAIN, “I’M SORRY,,,,,,,,,,,I SOMETIMES AFFECT WOMEN THAT WAY”. SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, “OH, THANK GOD, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE MENAPAUSE”, THEN SHE JUST KIND OF CHUCKLED FOR A BIT. I TURNED TO THE COUNTER AND TOOK CARE OF MY BUSINESS WITH THE COUNTER PERSON AND AS I TURNED TO LEAVE,,,,,,, THIS GALL AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER STRAIGHT EYE TO EYE AND I KIND OF POINTED AT HER WITH A WINK AND A SMILE, SHE STARTED LAUGHING SO LOUD THAT I COULD HEAR HER AS I WALKED AWAY. I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE THAT “SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY”.

It’s been said if the itch bothers you, scratch it! I’m not here on the Earth to embarrass any one, but I do! OK so I’m over 60, so there is no assumption I’ll ever see 30 again! That itch! Spoken about earlier! Why? Is that person insisting of the camera settings be furnished! Holy *, We’re talking here about a fraction of a second, with likelihood that the peoples reading this have different camera’s, different capabilities and that is for the camera also, different brands, set up at the factory to make the camera look good, and if not accomplished we’ll put out an update, somewhere out there I find someone who aligns with this thought, I don’t own that camera, It’s not my concern, then this one wants to know it all, says what kind of camera you using! What settings were you using on this one, will you write it down, and then I’ll let you belong to my group! Forgive me folks, I’m over 60, if someone will listen I’m one of the fortunate I’ll have to repeat myself! Three fellows out for a photo shoot, one with film camera, one with Nikon, one with Canon, also an Olympus on the left, the canon the right, so for him, lets say he’s left handed, but because he’s blind in one eye he shoots right, did you catch that? Yes taking pictures can be funny! Oh yes he’s 6 foot three, for sure the other two shorter, Then unexpectedly, in direction of the forest, comes the sound of the hot air balloon firing up the burner! The guy on the left, picks up the Canon, turns it on and shoots pictures of the birds scared by the noise of the burner, that was their intent this day, (bird) s, the one in the middle, hefts his Nikon, and says to himself, I’ve got on the wrong lens, and the third has a Hassleblad, 29MP jewel, expensive, and enjoyed by a handful, but then there is the envies, drooling! The one with the film camera, settings F8 and wait, if your practiced with film, trust me you‘ve heard it before, but if not, you digital folks, that was the arbitrary point to when in doubt, added to as information, film speed determined before the shoot, later the option list, changed! Just so’s you know a second camera required, so digital is cheep! The Nikon man takes aim on the balloon Airabelle, shoots the scene as a big picture beautiful sight. Turns off the camera, and begins to put the bird lens back on! Now the Olympus gets turned on, point and shoot, picture reviewed, back up with the camera, takes another shot this time with the barrel cranked in to say 176.6 mm and fires off the second round, and with out doing anything else cranks in another 150 mm, done camera off, Now later around the table comes the question! What kind of camera were you using again, what kind of settings did you use! And did I mention the guy with two cameras, say’s which one! Well it’ll be awhile for the film ‘s got to be processed, and the others all three pictures were acceptable moments, one especially good one so he turns on the camera and says this one, Wow says the Nikon owner, I wish mine had come out that good! Give you five bucks for a picture, and the poor soul, says I wish I’d taken that picture! So the itch got scratched, if your not at least smiling, sweep it under the rug, no one will ever know or care how great you are, but be concerned how great they are, also what camera you used, but the smile on your face, when it’s said,” Gee I wish I’d taken that picture!” Besides, if the picture tells a story, then let the person that buy’s it ask the question! You control freaks wanting all the details, take your little group for a field trip, or something, and you 60 and over guys, wipe that smile off your face, OH! Heck I’ll join you. BTW I use two cameras’ that may have cost half the price of yours, and when it gets updated, I can afford to buy another! But that doesn’t mean that my pictures are half price! 37 year old still learning habit, yet the smile is refreshing! Notice the Hassleblad owner isn’t here to read this; he’s out there making money! To pay for his camera choice! Smiling. Technical knowledge is nice to know, and relate to, if needed, especially sales! Not selling pictures! Now art, there are more than one favorite! So glad you asked!
A very quick sale of my tee, Inappropriate Comment, thank you very much! :)

I’ve got a lunch date with a MUCH younger man tomorrow. He’s sweet and funny and hairy like a spider monkey. I like all of that. I’m old enough to be his parent.

Please don’t say chicken hawk, ‘cause he’s mid-twenties… Absolutely flattering, I tell you.
