Good morning everyone
Happy Friday
though I thought yesterday was Friday so oops almost forgot to post the QOTD
We're glad you remembered!
Today's Question:
Do you have any "Summer Projects" planned ? Are you doing them or having them done ?
Oh, yes! The house was just painted, except for the decks. Those had to be almost completely rebuilt, and the new wood is still drying out. Those will be painted later this summer, after which new gutters will be installed. All that is being done by professionals. (I'd also like to change out the kitchen counters, but am not sure the budget is going to stretch that far ... )
In the meantime, I'll be pulling up all the carpet and installing new floors throughout the house.
Bonus Question:
In Honor of "Photography Day"
Was the last picture you took a picture of:
A person ?
Animal ?
Thing ?
Other ? The newly-painted house (LOL)
(You can see where the front deck steps are still bare wood. All the off-white trim used to be dark brown. [ugh])
Do any of our QOTD family still use film ?
I don't, and actually just donated my old (but still perfectly functioning) point-and-shoot camera to my school's Photography teacher for his students to use.
Extra Credit Question:
lol when was the last time you were "what day of the week is it" confused ?
This morning! I had to think twice about what day it was .....
Just for Fun:
Are you a Lobster Fan ? Nope -- I've never even tasted lobster.
Thanks for the questions -- have a great day, all!
Are you doing them or having them done ? I don't like others doing things I'm able to do for myself.

Enjoy your day folks! I have some wonderful friends coming into town for the weekend! Super excited!
Do you have any "Summer Projects" planned ? I would say I do not have any summer projects planned, but then something around the house would break just to make a liar out of me.
Are you doing them or having them done ?
Currently I am not doing anything that might be mistaken as a "Summer Project". However sooner or later I will do something that when completed I will comment on how much of a project that was.

Was the last picture you took a picture of:

Has been a while. I never seem to have my camera with me when wildlife decides to pay me a visit.
Thing ?
Took a picture of the wing of our 747 a couple days ago. Used my cell phone camera. Did not turn out very well.

Every time I try to take a picture of "other" it goes back into hiding before I can get my camera.

It has been at least 10 years since I last used film.
