My children enjoyed a live-action role-playing game last year at church camp based on "CLUE" and a friend is planning a mystery dinner theater for them to participate in. The photos of your young people all dressed and ready CLUE-style was inspiring!<br /><br />And that secret note in the math book? It's happened here. Makes me laugh. There's a long list of names in the front cover of our math texts, showing all those who've suffered and survived!<br /><br />Apples to Apples - a favorite family game for all ages! <br /><br />As always, your photos give us a beautiful view into the life of your blessed family - thank you for inviting us in!Linda Shttp://apronstringsotherthings.com/5-days-of-home-ec-not-just-for-girls/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-54683205811916300682018-04-02T21:43:34.948-04:002018-04-02T21:43:34.948-04:00Thanks for peeking at my "moments."

She totally forgets that. She thinks she is Queen and she is not always nice, but we love her anyway. :) <br /><br />I am hoping to find some good youtube tutorials to help me with my camera!

I certainly don't consider myself an expert, but I do love to have people over and I just kind of feel my way through. <br /><br />It <i>is</i> hard to host and take photos! I only manage to do it when my guests are family!<br /><br />Blessings of the Resurrection to you and yours!Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-31450338706871868952018-03-31T10:23:01.260-04:002018-03-31T10:23:01.260-04:00Thank you, Brenda!

I ...Haha! That is a yucky image, isn't it? :) <br /><br />I am never comfortable taking people shots of people who are not family. A group shot where everyone knows they are being photographed would be an exception, but there aren't many occasions where that feels right either. Plus, I prefer candid shots where people are just being themselves. And, no, Gavin doesn't really <i>love</i> the camera, but he is accommodating. It kinda comes with the territory, I suppose. :)Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-63923096816731222772018-03-31T10:00:55.596-04:002018-03-31T10:00:55.596-04:00Thank you, Dotsie!

Your home is certainly a wonderful place to gather and share special moments.<br />The Clue crew is just adorable! <br />You should write a book about entertaining. It is a gift you have. <br />The dishes from your aunt look right at home at the Pineapple House. <br />I always have my camera with me as well, but it's difficult to host and take photos, but you do an excellent job of it!<br />Sending blessings to you and your family this Easter. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-20187168781806498842018-03-30T16:07:10.549-04:002018-03-30T16:07:10.549-04:00Loved all the moments you shared... so many memori...Loved all the moments you shared... so many memories and heart tugs wrapped in each photo.

One can hardly be doing people shots, though, when hosting special events because people don’t usually feel that comfortable with the camera. You have your family trained. They do not always seem aware of the camera and that’s a good thing. Might have to work with Gavin a bit. < grin >Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596988245744679027.post-35034618534099646632018-03-30T10:41:16.610-04:002018-03-30T10:41:16.610-04:00Loved this post!

It's in the most ordinary of things and days that God and His beauty is displayed in a special way, isn't it? I know that I often find Him in the most ordinary and simple of moments, and they are indeed my favorites. <br /><br />Those soups you mentioned all sound so delicious, and I'm sure they tasted wonderful during a cold March. And how fun is a game night! Of course, tea and cookies make it even more fun! :)<br /><br />Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Easter! Joyful blessings to you!e l i z a b e t h ♡ https://www.blogger.com/profile/06852825809205799306noreply@blogger.com
