March Monday

From what I am hearing Minnesota is enjoying great weather.  It is beautiful here in Arizona as well.  Could we really be done with winter?  I hope Mother Nature does not have any nasty tricks up her sleeve.
Here is a tutorial on understanding what Depth of Field means.  This is very important to learn because it can change the whole look of a photo.  I love to do Macro Photography and this requires a shallow Depth of Field which makes the subject stand out and blurs the background.

Here is a link describing Sam's Club's new picture framing service.  I have not used this yet so I would like to hear from anyone who has tried it.  I would think their prices would be a lot less than you find at the custom frame shops.  The only thing that bothers me is this may put more small businesses out of business.

Here is an cool article from the CNN website about Beach Bars.  The only one of these that I have been to is the last one but I would love to visit them all before I die.  I must remember to add these to my "Bucket List".

Here is an article from the Minneapolis Star & Tribune about a creative program to get people into homes and get the foreclosures sold.  I wish we had more programs like this.

My business partner, Mary, will be manning the candy store while I am away.  If you are in the area stop by and say Hello.  We have an order of our hand made candy coming in this week so there should be something for everyone.
A big Thank You to my friends, Dean & Melinda, for including me in their cocktail party last night.  It was great to see a lot of friends and to see their new home.
Husband, Tim, is better today.  I have been  using all of my Mom's home remedies and it is working.  My Mom is big into natural medicine.  I like to use a combination of over the counter remedies and the natural ones.  She swears by Vitamin C, Echinacea, Zinc and Garlic.  Her other secret weapon is to boil Orange peels and have them drink the liquid.  I usually add some Lemonade or Orange Juice to may it more palatable.  I know it sounds strange but it works.
Thank you for reading my Blog today!
