Wednesday, April 9th




It's spring break this week and I took the boys on a little field trip to the Cumming Historic Cemetery. I've passed by this place at least a thousand times and always thought one day I'll stop. Well today was the day. It was an interesting place to say the least. The graves go back to 1834. It was interesting to see the different families out there. One family looked to have lost like three grown sisters all within just a few years. They were all in early 30s in 1850's. And there were a lot of infant graves from the mid to late 1800's. Then there were several graves that didn't have anything but a cross marker. Don't know if they were soldiers from the civil war or not. There were a lot of confederate flags placed at graves. Ralph just said maybe the unmarked graves were from slaves. I think Friday we might get to go to a rock quarry and take a tour. Ha! And just think what all the kids who went to the beach are missing!

Pesky little things.

So this is a yellow jacket. Last night Ralph was stung multiple times by them. Not really sure how many but enough that he was carried away in an ambulance and taken to the hospital. After he was stung he started to complain that he couldn't see, couldn't breath and was dizzy. We were walking to the car to take him the the ER and before he could get to the car he collapsed. And let me tell you, I do not respond well to these situations. I panic and don't know what to do. Basically act like a blubbering idiot. Thank God for some fast acting neighbors! But all is well after being pumped with benadryl and steroids. We left a few hours later with a prescription for an epipen.

Funny Friday and CS4

Image
I've been laughing my ass off all morning. I came across this comic strip this morning and literally spewed my coffee everywhere. For the last few weeks I've been waking Ralph up with foot rubs and back rubs trying to butter him up. When I saw this comic strip I felt totally busted! I don't think I realized what I was doing but it's pretty obvious after reading this. My friend Kelly linked me up to this site a few weeks ago. Very funny stuff. Check him out at What the Duck In other news....yesterday I downloaded the upgrade for CS4 and I am impressed! I've barely scratched the surface but so far the tab view is my new best friend. Yesterday I played around with the "content aware cropping" and that thing just blows my mind. If you haven't seen the video on that check it out here . Oh and the new adjustments window in pretty cool too. You can read more about the software review here. So if you've been on the fence about upgrading to CS4 I...
