Good Instincts

Good Instincts
Photo-A-Day #1485

Allison tells me that whenever the photographer or videographer at a wedding stands in front of me it means I have good instincts. I think it is because they like to stand in front of any guy who has a camera as big as theirs. Not that I’d ever get in the way of a professional photographer who is being paid for a wedding or event. I just seem to always grab the spot right behind the real photographer.

Last night Allison and I went to the wedding of her cousin Beth. We had a very nice time and got to spend that time with her parents, cousins, brother and Sister-In-Law, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The wedding was a very nice one and everyone had a great time. I took a bunch of photos but need to do some processing. They are all pretty grainy because I didn’t use flash so as not to disturb anyone. When I get a moment, not sure when, I’ll have to post those photos and the pajama party ones.

Yesterday was also Free Comic book day and I picked up books at Newbury comics as well as at Wild Time Comics. Wild Time is my local comic shop but occasionally something on my pull/sub list gets missed, this stinks because I pick up my books infrequently so I end up having to go somewhere else to find the books that got missed. Yesterday was a pretty good haul too.

We left Eva with our friends T.R. and Michael, they took her to dinner and she entertained them to no end. She also, thankfully, slept very well for them. We really appreciate that they took the time to help us. Apparently it also helped them work on their wedding plans as well.

Eva has a box that is now empty but was filled with clothes from her Mimi and Grandpa Dano. They sent the box up ahead of them for their trip here. They are staying with us for the next few days. It is really nice that they have some time to spend with Eva and they are going to go to Eva’s first “dance” class tomorrow… Wiggles and Giggles… at the YMCA. I think Eva will love a class like this so I’m anxious to hear how she does.

Today is the last possible day that comments can be counted on my two posts Being Responsible and Blogs, Brews 2 Recap. I’m in a little contest with some other bloggers and I’m slightly behind the leader and could use every comment I can get, so please help me out even if you already commented before.

Also a friend of mine Autumn has a dog named Cosmo and Cosmo is a mixed breed from a high kill shelter. Cosmo is in a little contest too. He needs some votes. Autumn says:

If he wins he will be cover dog for the month of May on www.snobbydogs.com. People can vote for Cozmo at http://www.snobbydogs.com/vote.cfm?id=0005A51C-E8EE-19C3-BF068873D18E006C you must also confirm your email. Only one vote per email. I have not received any spam from this company and we have ordered from them.

I just think it would be great if a little mixed breed pup from a high kill shelter would win.

He will win a couple of prizes that we do not need so we will donate them to a local animal shelter, also I will make a donation based on the number of votes he wins by to a shelter or animal organization.

I love hearing how people will help out the animal shelters. I’m helping my sister on a new project for our local animal shelter and it isn’t quite ready yet but once it is I’ll let you all know.
