21 Weeks


Today I'm starting another blog and I hope you all will check it out. I came up with a plan which might help my husband, Ron, quit smoking. At first I wanted to wait to see if the plan worked for him before I started to blog about it, but then I thought that it's a pretty good idea and just may work for other people so why not talk about it. Ron has tried to quit at least a half dozen times that I can remember. The most successful of those attempts lasted for three months - he started smoking again because he said that the cravings weren't diminishing as time went on and his fuse was so short that he didn't feel like himself.
So check out the new blog (twentyoneweeks.blogspot.com), follow Ron's progress, and keep your fingers crossed!

Back on the Right Track


I took a photography class a few months ago at our local community college. The college offers extended learning classes, for no credit, in all kinds of subjects - photography, cooking, baking, business, all types of exercise, languages, arts, etc. We only had about 6 people in the class. There were a couple of retired guys who were really into photography and did some beautiful, professional looking work. Also in the class was a nurse, a FedEx pilot, a young newlywed who just moved here from South Carolina, and me. The assignments were pretty neat - we had to illustrate a song in photos, another assignment was simply titled "Abstract" and another "Windows". I loved seeing all the different interpretations of each assignment.
