PROJECT 366 REWIND - WK. #1

So here goes my week. With an extra.

I captured snow, what a surprise when I uploaded the picture. I didn't even know I got the snow flakes.

Tommy giving Bubber a big hug. We had to put down his sister in November, she had Cancer. So Bubber has been a little lonely.

Some vines and weeds living in my garden. I've been practicing taking close ups.

Tommy and Luke, Luke is feeding noodles to his daddy and getting a big kick out of it.

Ooops, just a little tooo close. The design on my shirt.

Bella and Luke eating Ramdam noodles. They learning how to use a spoon, but not doing too good. They usually wind up using their fingers.

Some spring flowers coming up in January! The weather has been very warm, so the poor things are confused.

Where were you on the stoke of midnight New Year's Eve? I was the only one awake and playing Spider Solitaire on the computer.

BOOKING THROUGH THURSDAY

The question this week over at Booking Through Thursday is...........

If you could sit down and interview anyone, who would it be?
And, what would you ask them?

Wonderful question. There are so many authors I would love to interview. I could go on and on. But I guess I'll narrow it down to one.

Ken Follett author of Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. And his newest series Fall of Giants, which is on my reading list this year.
1. What do you determine you are going to write about?
2. Where do you get all your information?
3. Who do you choose to write about?
4. When do you write, mornings, afternoons or evenings?
5. Why are your books soooooo long?

BOOK REPORT

"Bride of A Wicked Scotsman" by Samantha James
Product Description(Amazon.com)
Lady Maura O'Donnell swore to her father on his deathbed that she'd recover the Circle of Light, an enchanted Celtic relic that had brought the family prosperity—until it was stolen a century earlier by a notorious pirate. Now the pirate's descendant, the Duke of Gleneden, holds this rare treasure, and Maura would give anything to get it back . . .
Alec McBride knows when he's been had. Lady Maura tricked him into marriage with the expertise of a born seductress, and now she'll pay for her treachery. He'll ravish her, tempt her, tame her—until she sorely wishes she'd never heard of the Duke of Gleneden. Caught up in their game of revenge, Alec and Maura never notice what is happening in their hearts—until it's too late.
Their marriage may have been a farce, but there is nothing truer than their desire . . .

MY THOUGHTS: This is one of 3 new books I picked up at the library. I really enjoyed reading about Lady Maura and the Duke of Gleneden. They were very likeable characters. Along with the romance there was a mystery to solve. Maura is out to find the Circle of Light. It was stolen by The Black Pirate from her home and her people and lands were cursed along with The Black Pirate. Maura's father forces a deathbed promise from her to find the Circle of Light and bring it back home. Maura sets out to entice Alec, the Duke of Gleneden. Alec is the decendent of The Black Pirate. Maura drugs Alec and professes the next day that he took her virginity. Which forces Alec to marry her. Once at Alec's estate Maura can search for the Circle of Light. Does she find the Circle of Light? Do Maura and Alec stay together? You'll have to read the book to find out.

MY RATING: 5

RICE KRISPIES

Do you like Rice Krispies treats? Have you made them or bought them?

We made some for treats for the twins. Their first ever Rice Krispie treats. It was a hit, they gobbled them up.

Luke enjoying his Rice Krispie treat.

WHAT'S IN YOUR GARDEN???

I am joining Lisa over at Lisa's Chaos for Macro Monday.

I've been practicing getting up close and personal with what I'm shooting. It's really hard to get that perfect picture. As you can see here.....

Opppp.....I was trying to shoot the little white balls on the weeds, but as you can see it's just a little to close. Moving on....
This one came out better. It's what's left of the green vine that grows along the rock wall of my garden with a few weeds thrown in for good measure.

Head over to Lisa's place to see all the Macro's everyone is sharing.

2011 IN REVIEW

NEW YEAR, NEW PICTURES

Jan over at Murrieta 365 has a meme called First of The Month. Here is some info:

The goal is to capture one thing repeatedly on the first of each month. It can be a landscape, a person, an animal, a project; whatever your focus is, is fine. It can even be a record of where you are each First of the Month. I'll open the linky each month on the 1st, and leave it open for a week or so, to give everyone a chance to post. (Please link back to this blog, thanks.)

I started this one last year and failed miserably. So I'm hoping I do better this year. I'm using the twins as my first of the month. As they live with us, I see them everyday. This way I can show their growth progress and the crazy things they do. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do. I'll try for a shot of them both but if not, I'll have two pictures, one of each.

This is Bella and Luke playing with the truck. Bella is riding and Luke is pushing or pulling.
