oh my gosh...i am absolutely in love with an app i

purchased for my i-phone today. you snap a photo and

then process it with this app- (there are a bunch of ways to edit each one

and choices you can use) and your photo suddenly-

right before your very eyes- looks like a 

gorgeous watercolor painting!

here are some of my favorites that i shot, and edited~tonight

learning to paint with watercolors has always been on my

list of things to do "someday",

but with the discovery of this easy- fabulous app

i may not need to. i'm pretty sure i could never paint like this

and i think these are just fun and beautiful...do you?

heading north in the morning...me and about 10,000 other people- haha

(one of us for each lake in MN.) :  )

just heard this trivia question on t.v. being broadcast from the

great minnesota get together- the state fair:

"what is the largest body of water in mn. that is completely inside the

state's borders?

hey rain ---rain, go away, come again around monday night, when our

holiday weekend is wrapping up will you?

it's the final horray of summer vacation before all the littles

will be heading for the bus stops and i hope you have some

fun plans for the weekend. i'm excited to go to a rodeo and see

some bull riding action!
