Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Blog Gone

I think my blog got lost in Athens, Ohio and hasn’t caught up with me yet.  The SAQA conference was full of great workshops and speakers, leaving my aging brain on overload.  I’m still processing all I was exposed to.   What a trip it is to be around so many incredibly talented people who all speak the same language. 

Athens is a beautiful little university town that reminds me very much of the one I grew up in Starkville, Mississippi (home of Mississippi State where my father was on the faculty).  The downtown area looks so much like ours looked in the 50’s.

The PhotoShop workshop with Deidre Adams was very good .  I am more familiar with Paint Shop Pro and find that I can do many of the things I learned in PSP.  Mainly I think what I learned is that there is so much more to learn.  If I can’t do it in PSP, I can switch to PhotoShop Elements.

The knowledge has come in very handy as my husband and I prepare for our 50th High School Reunion in Starkville, MS.  We volunteered to put together slide and PowerPoint shows from old photos from the yearbooks and photos that people have scanned and sent to us.
