Speaking of which, I love your muvee! What a delightful surprise. I was out for a walk yesterday and photographed a bubbling spring on our hillside. When I got back to look at the photo, it just wasn't the same without the wonderful sound and movement. So that does it, I'm on my way to Walmart, another key to SR (successful retirement). Not shopping at Walmart, but continuing to pursue new interests, challenging oneself to go to the next level. And there it is again, the key to SR, don't retire. Start up something new...let's twist again.
Clara fication - Successful retirement - that's it! Whatever turns you on - whatever project you take on - it doesn't have to be creative or positive or anything except what you want to do. Because now is our time. Yeah!!!! How good is that? Let's Twist Again....LTA
We babyboomer women and others, understand ages and stages, and now it's our turn to make the most of our time. If we don't, we also know that no-one else will do it for us.
Tech Stuff - Thanks for writing down the BLOGGING, COGGING terms. I am going to display them so newcomers understand. it takes a while to get your head around Blogger, which is (have to be careful as he might be listening) simple but not really. Like most web stuff, it boils down to a series of simple steps, but my experience is that there often seems to be a missing link. G would say "Yes Darling", meaningfully.
And while I'm on the subject, why do they have to update all the time? Why does it have to change, like - can't we get used to it and feel confident and comfortable for a while? Today there was an entirely different format which does my head in but I know that is the way of the world today - yes it was an improved function but......
I am going to list the Successful Retirement stuff in my website so it is all together.
What have you bought at Walmart? Your photos are just beautiful as they are - but you are right - we BB women challenge ourselves to go to the next level - whatever that may be - but only if we feel like it. The camera I use is a Canon - wonderful gift from the stars of "The Wedding". I haven't even explored it's capacities YET.
Keep laughing. It uses the best muscles.
Not more snow......
Luv Clara
Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT

Dear C,
ReplyDeleteI'm toying with the idea of a camcorder, perhaps as simple as the kodak Zi8. I like the idea of the external microphone to capture sounds like, yes, the first time baby says granny! Didn't find one at Walmart, so the search is still on, with that being half the fun. I use a nikon D200 that was a gift from B back a few years. I love it, and admit to also not beginning to use all its features. I need to get back to the basics of depth of field and all that good stuff again. So much to learn. My problem is not what to do with my time, but how to find time to do everything I want to do. So perhaps we should add time management TM to our SR list. I often feel like a jack of all trades, master of none because I love so many things. My blog project has been great as it pulls everything together for me. There is much to be said for having a full plate. No time to wallow in the mire. Now that leads me to .....
you guessed it... Come on Baby light my fire, now is not the time to retire. List of words that rhyme with retire:
admire, buyer, dyer, dire, fire, higher, hire, liar, mire, plier, sire, tire, wire
Feel a song coming on?
Love
