Is Old the New ... New?

Every now and then I stumble across something on the internet that is sooo much fun to use to play with my pictures.  Last time it was that whole black, white and color thing.  This time it was that whole retro picture thing.  (Have faith, if I get interested in it again, there might be a picture to painting post!)  Now, I'm not the greatest at editing, nor am I a part of that instragram fad, my phone isn't smart enough.  But I did find something fun on the Internets.  I guess the new fad is new to old or vice versa.  I enjoy playing around with it.

Randomness: Things in my room

Butterflies and hockey players... oh yeah!

Sometimes, when I don't know what to write about I do one of these take a picture of everything and call it random and post it.  With the hope that it will get my creative juices flowing.  I don't know if it does or if it just a cop out post.  But here goes, this edition of randomness involves the strange things I have floating around my room.

Photowalk- La Crosse on Historic Downtown Days

Last Saturday, I went to Historic Downtown Days in La Crosse Wi, with my cousin Susie.  It was defineatly smaller than I was expecting.  Sure there was some games and such at Cameron park, but half of the particiapting stores were spread throughout downtown La Crosse, it wasn't orgainzed well.  I used it as an excuse to take pictures.  That was fun.  It was a gorgeous day for a walk.  La Crosse is nice because it is an old River city.  Someday, maybe I'll walk down and take pictures of the big old river houses.  I adore them, probably cause I grew up in one, even if it was in a different town.  This post is going to be more focused on downtown La Crosse.

Random Estes Park

Wow, it has been a while.  Sorry guys, I am getting back in the saddle again.  Now, normally I would play on the getting back in the saddle angle, but I think I've used most of my horse pics...  So I am just going to an Estes Park entry.  It has been 3 weeks since I left Estes.  I didn't leave Estes on my terms, I flew out.  I'd lost the transmission in my car literally the day before I was leave.  So I did get to spend more time in Estes, that was nice.

Randomness: Things!

This plastic bubble thing was a great moment of my childhood.  My younger brother and I used to play with them all the time.  I found them again at the Dollar Tree and boy was it fun!

This painted pony was my absolute favorite one.  I bought it at Old Faithful, and I don't remember if they had it at the lake hotel gift shop.  Even if I did get into an "argument" with my gorgeous cowboy friend about which location had the better horses.

I love penguins (unless they are from Pittsburgh).  They are adorable and look so cuddly!  That and they usually are the best part of movies that have penguins in them!

Hey!  Look it's me!  At least I like to pretend it is me.  It should be and not just because that hat is something awesome!  But it was made for me by my Grandma.

The parental units got me this in Germany.  When I was in Germany, I got myself a purse with edelweiss on it cause they are awesome.  And I love the song.  I hope to have my super talented best friend paint something similar to this on a wood chest that I have.

Randomness: About Me

So, I was going to blog last night, but had forgotten that I'd already blogged.  I was having a bit of trouble thinking of a subject.  So the reprieve was nice.  As I was thinking of something to write, I started looking at all the random pics that I have.  So I figured I could post some of them, cause when else could I. So it is a post of random information about me.
