Kids Don't Always Want Their Picture Taken

by Lucky Red Hen on June 6, 2007

The first pic, she’s smiling perfectly. After a while she’s DONE with pictures (mmm look at that yummy light)…

He’s usually patient with me when I take his picture. His smile is often overdone these days but I can get his authentic grin by saying something funny (I’ve always got something funny to say). The first is on a tree stump that he managed to get on without falling into the brink. He was so excited for me to take his picture. The second is showing that he’s DONE too…

Q: Did you really think ALL my pictures turn out fabulous? Tee hee. Sometimes you have to get through a lot of duds to find the gems (that’s why I take so many pictures).

Alanis Morissette – My Humps

by Lucky Red Hen on June 5, 2007

I guess not everyone likes this version of Fergie’s song. I like both.

I like watching HGTV

by Lucky Red Hen on June 3, 2007

My back’s out again.

Must be a combination of getting the house ready, reducing the amount of stuff we have to fit into our new place that’s 1/2 the size and those CUTE red heels I wore to my birthday lunch on Wednesday (not the whole day; put them on right before I drove over, kept them on while sitting for lunch then drove home and took them off immediately).

Anyway… when my back goes out it’s couch time for me and an opportunity to watch some Home & Garden television. I LOVE watching make-overs of any kind… yard, exteriors, interiors, people, etc.

The first day of this is not too bad but the 2nd – 5th get progressively worse (plus I have a “female” visitor this time, if you know what I mean) and I get awfully cranky feeling like a ZERO that can’t do much for myself or anyone else (thank you, hubby, for taking such good care of us all – especially when my back is out). It is no fun, that’s for sure.

Usually the dopey episodes don’t bother me but I had been laid up for a couple days by the time I saw this. It has irritated me to no end and has made me so mad that they think it’s passable. Hideous is the only word I could use to describe it without making this post R-rated! Sure would like to know how long it took the owners to undo it.

Q: Am I the only one that finds this make-over a make-UNDER?

Nick & Miriam Engagement Pictures

by Lucky Red Hen on May 7, 2007

These are my friends, Nick & Miriam. We’ve known Nick since we moved to Utah (he’s Cathy’s BIL). He’s a good man who’s first wife died of a rare liver cancer about a year ago. Miriam is a school teacher and looking forward to becoming a mom to Ally! They are getting married this summer in New Mexico (hey – I’m from Clovis!). We had fun taking pictures at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City then going for Thai afterwards (the way to my heart is sometimes through my stomach). Hope you like them…























Q: I am having trouble narrowing down my favorites which results in posting a lot of pics. Should I post less or do you think the more the merrier?
