OK...one of my many guity pleasures is heading to the ol' Bingo hall. I have probably been at least 15 times over the past couple years and I have NEVER won...not a cent! And tonight I won twice. Sad truth is I still didn't get to yell BINGO...won on the Nevadas's but I screamed "BALLS" like it was nobody's business!!

First $25

Day 273

Went to the Enjoy Centre to see a presentation by Cobi Lander, former editor of House and Home magazine. It was a fun, upbeat, entertaining talk about color, character and comfort in interior decorating!
While there I had to check out a new annual called "Dutchman's Pipe" a beautiful, unique vine. I have too much sun in my yard but you can bet I will be photographing this beauty in my mom's garden this summer!

That is a bud to the left!

Day 257-270

Wow...I am embarassed....2 FULL weeks of blog neglect. I have been snapping the odd photo however have spent the past couple weeks painting and redecorating my house and less time keeping my obligations to improving my photographic skill.

Needless to say as I flipped through my photos they are more than disappointing...they are boring and don't tell the story that I wanted them to tell. Guess like anything if you stop doing it, you don't stay very good at it...lesson learned!
