lots of stuff...

Okay, so lots of stuff in this post.

First- In Ran's photography class they had to "reproduce" famous paintings for thier final project. So we had some willing models that posed. Kim and Will were to great to pose outside with a sheet over their head and then Elke and Tammy came over to our house for a little photo shoot. Unfortunately, ran had his camera on a wierd setting and only one turned out well enough to print. The ones on Kim and will were super dark...he said he could kind of make out the outline of the sheet. The ones of Elke and Tammy were really washed out. At least he got one that will work. I took a couple of elke and tammy so here they are: (first is that painting they are replicating)




This was the picture that turned out. Ran then polarized it so it looks really creepy. Maybe if I get really ambitious I will scan it in.

So monday was memorial day. I had to work, but not until the evening so we had a little BBQ out on the porch.

Here is ran with his hot dog.


Here is the pup licking her lips, wishing for a hotdog.

After the little BBQ we went for a walk to the arboretum that is right by our house. We walked up to the viewing tower. I hated it...it was wooded and rickety and you could feel it moving as other people walked up and down the stairs. So I went...took a couple picts...and high-tailed it out of there!! Here is one of the picts:


here is just a super cute pict. of my pup when we were hanging out the other day:


okay- I know this long- here is my last thing.
So today I wake up at 5:00 a.m. to take ran to work and as I am driving I start thinking about words and how you pronounce and then I think isn't it wierd how you take a word like "Photograph" and then just by adding a "er" to the end makes it sound totally different. "photograph" sounds really different from "Photographer" - different vowel sounds, etc.
