The Sunday Salon is now a Facebook group.
Life:
A wonderful vacation week of rest and relaxation, much overdue...after jumping from one job to another in August of last year without time off and having no time to breathe since then.
It was a VERY productive week around the house. I was able to get a bunch of home/life related things done that I have been putting off for months. As well, hubby was off so we went yard-saling, book buying (more about this later this week), and even took a trip up to New Hampshire to enjoy the wilderness. We visited the Flume in Franconia Notch/White Mountains (about a two hour ride). I'm not much of an outdoors woman, but hubby loves it. The weather was perfect, cool and windy (read: few bugs), and it was a really, really nice day.
I even took my camera along to try, again, to get some decent shots (I am a TERRIBLE photographer - I DO NOT have "the eye")...oh, you think I'm over (or under) estimating:
I FORGOT MY CAMERA BATTERY!
I had taken it out to charge it. I put it back in my bag (with my extra battery) when we left...but never put it back in the camera. It sat in the car the whole time, while I lugged my useless camera around. I am a seriously BAD photographer! Ha, ha!!
But thankfully, I did have my phone with me, so all was not lost:

It was seriously gorgeous out there!
I tried to get some pictures of the surprisingly tame chipmunks (I kid you not, I almost stepped directly on one), but they were all blurry (the pictures, not the chipmunks - HA). Oh well, still learning I guess.

Blogging:
Along with my valiant efforts at home (we cleaned the basement, well half the basement...again), I was also able to get a fair amount of blog work done as well. I finally updated my blog template, as the one I was using was giving me trouble. I had changed it briefly, but the color scheme messed things up worse. So I finally sat down and found something new that cleaned this mess up. Then, I updated pages, prepared posts, etc., etc.
Hopefully it is more enjoyable for everyone. It was certainly about time!!
Have a great week everyone.

I love your vacation photos! You sound like me, when I'm touring I take the worst pictures ever. All I had was my phone. My daughter had hers and it had a fantastic camera luckily! The waterfall is so beautiful!
You're inspiring me to get up and go clean my guest bedroom! Get something tangible accomplished.
I ADORE the blog layout!
Lovely waterfall photos. It seems like we never can put all the technology devices together in the right order and often forget our batteries, too. Ha!
My Sunday Salon
Pretty waterfalls!
