couldn't believe waht great shape this pumpkin was still in this long after halloween and that it was still in the window. with the ivy and everything i just couldn't resist taking a shot. the middle boss, who's graduating a fully certified grade school teacher next month, took me to task aobut the 'creepiness' of shooting other people's windows and invading their privacy. i told her my neighbors are pretty much used to seeing my around with my cam by now and most think its pretty cool to get 'their' pic used as a daily. and if they don't... we artists are more known for our pics than our social skills anyway, right?! ;-) . i survived doomsday... um... the shopping frenzy at the mall. there was so much traffic the transit had to reroute the regular buses that served the mall away and run a special shuttle from the mall to the nearest transit hub. when i was in one big chain store there wwere a literal one hundred or more p[eople in the main check-out line, and that was with over twenty cashiers going full-bore. being me and knowing the layout i didn't wait in that line but nipped round the other side to the 'entrance' instead of the 'exit' and didn't even have time to read three full pages of my paperback before i was already cashed out. it was actually a great fun time. i must have toalked to at least fifty people all of whom were happy and having a good time. several had gotten there as early as three a.m. (the doors opened at four) and told me that the traffic coming off the freeway at four was so heavy it actually backed up all the way onto the freeway (and its a lonjg offramp) and  blocked one lane of traffic. the energy of the crowd was great fun and i had a lot of time to take it in as i had to sit down at least every ten minutes to catch my breath, especially after i started getting loaded up with purchases. not that i bought that much but i did buy about as much as i could reasonably carry on the bus then up the hill home. i didn't have a  lot of money either but got such good deals, didn't buy anything that wasn't at least fifty per cent off, that my money stretched pretty darn far. came home wioth no money and no energy left, actually took my butt an hour after i got home to catch up from where it fell off and i left it lay ;-) . have a great week-end. oh, the little boss's puter isn't working so she can't see or comment on any pics but she was really tickled that y'all were so positive about her portrait of my sis. when i told her some of the comments on the phone i heard her yell "mommy! PROFESSIONAL photographers liked my picture!" still btrings a big grin to my face! life is about moments like that i think. there's the rest of what she took at our dinner up in her gallery now. blessings on all of good will
