Funny Friday - Worship Signs

This is funny to me because it is true - I see all these signs every week in church - I am guilty of some of them myself

Andy Williams Tribute by Donny Osmond

Andy Williams, passed away yesterday - he was such an amazing singer - had one of the smoothest voices I have ever heard.

I will always love him not only because of his amazing talent but also because he was responsible for introducing America to the famous Osmond family. 

The Osmonds always remained closed to Andy and in fact, Jimmy, Jay and Merrill were scheduled to perform with Andy next week in Branson for his 75th Anniversary in show business.  They are still going to perform in Branson to pay tribute to him.

Donny & Marie are currently performing at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, NV and last night, Donny paid tribute to Andy Williams in the best way he knows how...by singing Moon River.

Donny's voice is AMAZING and he really does this song justice.  I hope he considers adding it to their show, it would be such a nice tribute to Andy Williams.

Extreme Sporting - A Family Affair

This was my "What the heck?" moment today....

I was checking e-Bay for "Family Affair" - the TV Show of course and this came up.....


Gee, there is nothing more special then spending family time teaching your 5 year old "Extreme" hunting and killing animals with a shotgun.  What a way to bond - such a true "Family Affair"

Of course my reaction when I saw this little DVD was more like this:

Knitting Eyes - What are they looking at ?

When browsing knitting patterns, I see such a common occurrence in the photos, that I decided I needed to comment on it.  I just find it so amusing.

I can't be the only knitter/crocheter that notices this....

Why do SO MANY ladies feel they have to look up or off in the distance when photographing their beautifully made items?

Now I do not know any of these ladies and I actually bow down to their knitting talent. Please do not think I am mocking them - because I am NOT - it is just an observation...about photography.

I was admiring this lovely green sweater on someone's blog I believe and thought what is she looking at?  Why doesn't she look at the camera.


Then I realized - it isn't just her - it seems so many people do this.  Take this lady for example...

 Also a beautiful sweater, also looking off in the distance.  Do they get this idea from knitting magazines?
Perhaps they do.

Sometimes I think they look down to show the detail in the pattern, especially for hats.

But then I realize - does looking down really show that much more detail ?  What about this one...

or this one?

What are they looking at?

Even those that wear scarves are prone to look anywhere but the camera



All the scarves are beautiful but what are they looking at ?  Even girls with gloves get into the action.



Isn't that last blue set amazing?? Look at that cable work - I'm so jealous - I LOVE that hat!  

 Heck...even mannequins participate in this sport of looking away from the camera


All this just reminds me of a family from the late 1960s/early 1970s
