You’ve probably heard me refer to THE BOSS, SHE WHO SHALL BE OBEYED, my better half, the woman who has put up with me for the past 25 years. You may have even seen a photo or two of her winding up to whack me on the headbone with her trusty cast iron skillet. Sometimes I even deserve it but if she happens to read that last sentence I’ll deny any knowledge on the grounds that all that BANGY!, BANGY! on my delicate head has caused severe brain damage.
BANGY! BANGY!
Today’s post is my attempt to prod her into blogging and processing her own shots.
Last Christmas I gave her a point and shoot to carry around in her purse and she actually takes it out and uses it from time to time.
She’s also been known to take one of my DSLRs away from me on occasion and has captured some fine shots with it. I’m afraid that one of these days she’ll refuse to give it back, just as she did when she got over the fear of driving Godzilla, my beloved Ford Expedition. Now I’m lucky if she let’s me drive it a couple of times a month!
I have to be careful because that cast iron frying pan isn’t the only hardware she’s been known to have access to. I’m convinced that any day now the authorities are going to kick down the door and tear the house apart looking for that 16 inch shell she found when we toured the USS Wisconsin last summer.
But I digress.
These are a few of the shots I found on the memory card in her point and shoot and I thought you might enjoy them. Oh yes, the watermark. Frankie was born and raised about 15 miles from here in a little mountain town in the New River Valley, or NRV to locals, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, hence the NRVGirl tag.
From the minute Molly laid eyes on Frankie she decided she belonged to Mama. She’s also my baby girl. Buddy, who adopted me from day one, has been replaced as my chair warmer.
At nearly 100 lbs. she’s a little large for a lap dog but you can’t convince her of that.
She sill allows Buddy to lay on the floor beside my chair and get his ears scratched.
When she’s not keeping my chair or my lap warm she likes to guard my side of the bed.
THE BOSS has also been known to take some outdoor shots. She especially likes sunsets.
THE BOSS says I’ve spent enough time fooling around online so it’s back to kitchen duty for me. Anyone know a good remedy for dishpan hands?
LOL!! I love those shots Frankie took! Pretty darn good for a point and shoot which is what I have too.
ReplyDeleteyou're too cute! and so is frankie! and just keep those pup photos coming. molly makes a great lap dog!
ReplyDeleteTell Frankie that she is the best, putting you up, and the dogs as well, oh there something, she takes good pictures.
ReplyDeleteMolly is quite a lap full. Love the sunset, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy remedy for dishpan hands... buy a dishwasher or if you prefer something cheaper, a pair of rubber gloves, better yet just eat off paper plates!
Everyone this is Frankie aka THE BOSS, Chip's long suffering wife.I hope everyone knows he really does act this way, therefore the cast iron skillet.
ReplyDeleteWHAM! WHAM!......oh look at all the little birdies....fireworks,too!
DeleteI'm glad to hear that you are getting some of your better half's talent on display Chip. I know that in our household I'm the amateur photographer and have far less advanced equipment to sport for such things but it's great fun to see what both of us took time with when we get back from a trip with our cameras. Dishpan hands huh? Perhaps a good sound smack with a skillet would help...ignorance is bliss...so is unconsciousness I imagine!
ReplyDeleteI hope The Boss gets into blogging! I am loving her shots from the point/shoot!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset!! Get him Frankie!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures by The Boss.
ReplyDeleteMolly's a mess.
That dog is BIG! I enjoyed the pictures that THE BOSS took. She should write her own blog!
