Here’s the week in review. Still going strong. Don’t forget; if you click the first shot, you can scroll through with your arrow keys or by swiping. Or you can come back every day and see them on the page labels 365 above in the menu bar.

- You should be prepared that at least once a week, in this 365 project of mine, you will see at least one photo of Keeley. She has become the center of our lives as we adapt to her routines and she adapts to ours. There are moments when we can’t believe how quickly she has adjusted to us and we to her. She is truly a gift, and we already love her as if we’ve had her for her entire life. Based on the number of kisses we receive, we think she feels the same way.

- Another attempt at a food photo. I decided to gather all the ingredients for tonight’s one-pan dish: sweet potato, black bean, and corn hash. It’s a vegan recipe; even though we aren’t vegan, we try to eat a lot less meat than we used to. It’s kind of a symptom of getting older. I shot my cutting board several times, but I didn’t capture the shot I wanted until I climbed up on a step stool to take it. That finally got me what I wanted.
-
- I am always looking for something to shoot, especially this year while doing the 365 project. While driving home from my workout at our club, I passed by a golfer on the course that runs through Trilogy. He was searching through the rough for his ball, which made for a decent photo.

- While searching for something to photograph, I came across this old, termite-ridden stump and immediately appreciated its appearance. The textures and shadows provide it with a rugged look.
-
- Sorry to send another Keeley pic so soon, but she was sitting in my lap (yes, all 36.5 pounds of her), and I couldn’t resist because I could reach my camera.
-
- There is nothing quite like a middle school musical. Today, we drove down to Olympia to see our granddaughter in the ensemble of her school’s winter musical, “Children of Eden.” Since my grandson was with me and he is on the yearbook staff at the same school, we took a TON of photos. I captured 345 photos, and this one is my favorite because of the lighting and the fact that I got everyone in the cast in the same photo, with my granddaughter right in the center.

- As the title suggests, I just visited Costco. We have several shelves in the garage, and I do my best to keep them stocked. Sometimes I go and start organizing items on these shelves, and I discover something that I purchased this time. For example, we have enough toilet bowl cleaner to last us until 2035.

Do tell, why do you purchase Bounty paper towels and not Kirkland paper towels?
For the same reason we don’t buy Kirkland toilet paper. I have always thought that any Kirkland brand paper is their worst product line. We have always been Bounty people.
