Santa Fe, NM....

Made James a homemade cherry cobbler last night for dessert...it turned out soooo yummy. Even Jimmy tried it, he said it was too sweet...yes strange child of mine!:)

James getting his pictures and photo equipment ready for his trip!

He left at 4:30 this morning to head to Santa Fe, NM for his Alternative Photographic International Symposium. He also gets to see and stay with his brother while he's there. Thursday is his sign in day, "5 prints in 5 minutes" presentation (that's what he's getting ready in the above pic), then a print exchange and a reception. Friday is different speakers in the field, presentations, demos, a tradeshow and marketplace. Saturday is at a different location but more of the same. Sunday he drives all day to get home...yeah! We've never been apart this long and am not really keen on being so, especially if you know how close we are to each other. Going to be texting, calling (thank God for cell phones) and skyping at night!:) Jimmy had made a cool banner for James to see when he got up this morning and he took it with him to look at!

I'm going to make some strawberry jam today, work on a birthday present :) and take a long nap since I've been up since 3:30am, then to take Jimmy to swim team practice where I'll go to Sagebrush Cafe and get a yummy tea while I wait in the horrible heat for him!:)
