It is another cold, blustery day here in beautiful Downtown Lakeville.  At least the sun is shining.  When you look outside it looks like a beautiful day.  Another one of Mother Nature's nasty tricks!

Daughter, Kelly, was in town yesterday for the Twins game.  We met her for a cocktail after the game before she headed back to Mankato with her friends.  It was her first time going to a game at the new stadium.  It is too bad it was so cold and the Twins lost the game but we were glad to be able to visit with her and meet her friends. 

Today I have a link to an article about shooting Prom pictures for all of you Parents and Grandparents out there.  I have had some experience doing these with my own Grandkids.  It is an exciting night for the kids so you want to make sure to preserve the memories of the day.

I am trying a new photo storage option called Drop Box.  I was invited to try it out by one of my Meet Up Photography Club members.  I cannot express the need to do back up your pictures enough.  I have had my computer crash and my external hard drive crash on me and I was so glad I had my pictures saved on disks as well.  What appeals to me about this service is you can access your pictures on line from anywhere.  Click on the link below for more information on Drop Box.

"Wanting to be someone you're not is a waste of the person you are."  I like that one!
