Jesse's huge family at Thanksgiving!!!

I took my tripod out to our Thanksgiving meal with Jesse's family. This is his IMEDIATE family. Yes IMEDIATE!!!And we were missing two brothers, one granddaughter and sister who passed away. He has FOUR BROTHERS, FOUR SISTERS, THREE BROTHERS-IN-LAW, SIX NEPHEWS and SEVEN NIECES. And three of those brothers are yet to have children. The oldest sister has eight children of her own and she is bound to get pregnant again. That is only what is on his side. I don't have that many siblings but I have just as many nieces and nephews.

And yes that is the camera remote in my hand! I didn't think about hiding my hand at the time. Some great photographer I am! LOL

A photo fix...

My friend Bobette told me to get photoshop. Thank You, Bobette! I had no idea that I could use it to repair old photos. This is a picture of my husbands sisters, Trisha and Krista. Krista passed away at young age, and they have many cherished photos of her. Some of them have gotten damaged or faded with age, being that they are like more than 30 years old. I have been wanting to have some of them restored, but every place is like $45.00 and up per photography. So I was stoked to find out that I could do it with a photoshop program. Here is my first attempt.
THIS IS THE BEFORE:
THIS IS THE AFTER:
NO PHOTO STANDS A CHANCE NOW THAT I HAVE PHOTOSHOP!
