MACJR, up-close
Since Grandma is now on the phone and the cake cutting has
been delayed, I give in and instruct Makayla on how to use
the camera. This is her first shot (trimmed and digitally
re-mastered a touch for best online viewing). She did a
good job, too bad the subject was me or it could have been
a great first picture. ;)
She was so excited that I could not help but say "Okay" when
she asked if she could take a few more pictures. Fortunately,
she chose other victims, I mean subjects, for her next shots.

Stephanie in red
Ha! See what you get when you gang up against me Stephanie?
Your own daughter makes you her second victim, I mean subject,
and I cut the half of the picture with you on it to make a
very close-up picture of you.
This is the left half of Makayla's third picture. Makayla's
second picture was of Stephanie's belly region.

Cateland
This is the right half of Makayla's third picture. Cateland is
standing just to Stephanie's left in the uncut photo.
As I mentioned on page 6, Cateland is my Uncle Art's wife. Like
Art, Cateland is also a musician. Cateland used to sing country
and has even recorded two albums. Cateland tells me that she met
Art when, "I was hiring a keyboard player for my last band." It
took some digging but I found the name of that band, it was,
Lakota Wind.
Also to Cateland's credits are, in her words, "first runner-up
on the first TV reality show
You Can Be A Star" and she "won
1990 Texas Music Assoc Songwriter of the Year."
These days Cateland is a freelance writer and a contributing
columnist. There is talk that she may get back into singing one
day though.
Cateland's blog:
Diary of a Mad
White House Wife.
One more observation, Cateland likes Vanilla Coke… yuck.
Myself, I like Diet Mug Root Beer, which happens to go great
with vanilla ice cream. ;)
