I got this TERRIFIC.YUMMY salsa salad recipe from my friend a few years ago….so it’s not all that NEW to me :o)….but while I was photographing the ingredients for the Scavenger Hunt Sunday (see yesterday’s post), I thought I’d take a pic of the finished dish also. It really is very delicious! Try it!…here’s the recipe:
I’ve been meaning to do the Scavenger Hunt photo challenge for quite some time. I’d always write down the ‘themes’ or type them on the sticky note on my desktop to remind myself, but the weeks just whizzed by too fast, and it never happened UNTIL THIS WEEK! YeAh!!!
This week’s themes were: WATER, EMPTY, FRESH, WEATHERED, and ORDINARY.
Since its Easter, I’m sharing my ‘EMPTY’ photo first (photo at very top of post). That word reminded me of a sweet story called Jeremy’s Egg – An Easter Story….take the time to read it! I think you’ll really like it too!
My other interpretations are:
Water:
Fresh:
Weathered:
Ordinary:

Isn’t that so true!?!?! So…I’ve started a NEW memorization program! It’s awesome and so far so good!!! (I’ve been at it a little over a week:o) There are sooo many things I can use this program with….scriptures, vocabulary words, quotes, foreign languages etc etc etc.! I’m starting with scriptures. My son introduced me to this program (see instructions he emailed me below…sorry for the quality, it looks like it’s been passed around a bit). My son has memorized hundreds of scriptures! It’s a GREAT program which I think I’ll try to implement with various projects!
Have a great day everyone! Learn (AND REMEMBER) something NEW today!
Who knew I could get sore muscles from taking photographs! Wow! I’ve found out I definitely can!!! And it REALLY hurts! Apparently if I hold my camera up for a long time…trying to keep it really still while focusing through the tiny opening in a chain-link fence and holding it there for a while, waiting for the tennis player on the other side of the fence to make an awesome shot, it uses muscles I never knew I had! Note to self: take a tripod next time!
The best way I know of getting rid of lactic acid build-up is swimming. I’ve got to try and make it to the pool ASAP! Any other suggestions of how I can get rid of this awful PAIN!?!?….Fast!?
The calendar says it’s Spring…and this little crocus is TRYING to do its part! Hopefully some day soon we’ll have spring-like temperatures! Have a great week everyone! Try something NEW!

I’ve had a few books on my nightstand, for a while now….waiting for me to find the time to crack them. They were:
A Blind Eye by Julie Daines, Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2
Well, last Sunday evening I picked up the first one, A Blind Eye, right after dinner and I didn’t put it down until I had read the entire book (roughly 160 pages)! It kept my attention the entire read! It’s a young adult murder mystery (NOT my typical choice), but I’m soooo glad I read it because, as you know, I LOVE newness /different-ness! It was very good and I’d recommend it. Hopefully I’ll get the other two books read very soon (I’ve renewed them from the library twice already). I’ll let you know what I think about those after I get them off my nightstand. I hope you all get to read (or do or learn) something NEW today!
This quote was on a recent handout from the Family History class I’m taking. LOVE.IT!!! I coupled it with one of my favorite shots. Again, thank goodness for phones with cameras!…because, of course, when this scene appeared before me, I didn’t have my ‘good’ camera with me! My hubby always says, “What kind of photographer are you?”…when I lament leaving my camera home :o)
Everyone have a great day today, and try to ‘earnestly exert yourselves to give as much as you receive’ today!
Well, you all know I love, loVE, LOVE learning something NEW! I was recently visiting gembobs crafts and really enjoyed reading through the ’50 Happy Facts to get you in the mood for life’! AND…I learned something new! (see happy fact number 31) I did not know (or if I once knew, I soon forgot) that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. COOL! :o) Other terms are: colony, flurry, regiment or stand of flamingos.
I took this pic at a nearby aviary last summer and right when I was going to get some really good pics of these flamingos, my camera battery went DEAD! But thank goodness for phone cameras, right?
Do or learn something NEW today!
I have a VERY talented niece! She took her mother’s wedding dress and TOTALLY transformed it! I missed going to the wedding, because it was multiple states away, but my other sisters were ohhing and awhing about the dress recently, so I had to go see it for myself (she’s local now). Fabulous.Gorgeous.Beautiful!!!
The old dress (hmmm not sure what year this was, but I’m guessing early 1980’s):
The NEW dress (December of 2011 I believe):
