Faces Only a Mother Could Love!

At the last faculty meeting of the year, all the seventh grade teachers received a new MacBook to use for next year with the new portable lab we're getting. (Thanks Claytons!) I've loved using mine. We're scheduled to have professional development before school begins to learn to use the lab effectively in class, but playing with this thing is really fun! This is my first experience with Mac (unless you count those ancient apples I used in college decades ago) and I'm really getting attached to it--now that I've learned how to copy and paste. I'm sure there are millions of neat things left to learn about this nifty little machine. The first amusing thing I discovered was Photo Booth. Then the girls began experimenting with it, and it became a comic addiction. We have laughed and laughed at some of the images we have created. With a little more experimenting and some formal instruction I'm sure the girls could put Warhol to shame! I've even e-mailed my mom some of the photos of the girls, and her comment was that if the new computer only took pictures that good, we should just go ahead and toss it out.

The Things We Find

As I was sorting through old photos for my class reunion, I came across this one. It used to be one of my favorite photos of Greg and me when we were dating. Greg wants to know why I would want to put it on my blog. My reply, "Because my face is not fat, and your hair is brown!" Maybe I should "photoshop" that big white bow out of my hair. Wonder why no one ever told me how goofy that looked? I also found some other neat oldies...but I'll save them for another time.
