What can I say? It’s a slow day at the Manor House on the hill. The sad thing is that it took me two hours to produce this post.
Send help.

Attic treasures
It was raining on Sunday and for lack of anything better to do, I went into the attic to move things around, and tidy up a bit. We have one whole room up there where our things are stored and as I moved boxes around and swept the floor, I came across an old trunk.
And when I opened it, I found some old photographs on the very top. Imagine my surprise when I came upon these old and faded pictures of the house.
I have no idea when they were taken, probably in the early part of the century, and probably using old wet-plate photographic methods. Wow!
In fact, I'm surprised that the trees look the same size as they do today. And if I look even closer, I can almost see the wires leading out to the DirecTV satellite dish in the yard. So before I go any further, I have to admit that I wasn't in the attic tidying up.
I tend to stay out of the attic. And I didn't find an old trunk filled with treasures. And this old photograph isn't really old.
Please don't be mad at me for having some fun. I'm just having a good time with the Action set I bought at Totally Rad the other day. I had taken this photograph last month and used an Action called Old Skool on it. There are 4 different versions of this particular action in this set and the one I used for these photos is called Super Old Skool. It simulates the look of a vintage photograph, even adding the lens blur at the edges, common to photographs of that era. Then I used an action called Dirt Rag to give it some added texture.
Anyway, it's just fun. It's good, healthy old-fashioned kind of fun! And you all know what an old-fashioned, and extremely refined country woman I am. (Okay, now I AM really pulling your leg!!)
And now on to the matter of the Giveaway: I had signed up on A Giveaway A Day for the first open spot which was scheduled for Sunday, November 30. There have been a lot of entries for this contest and from what I can see, it's still going on. The winner will be announced on the site, probably by Tuesday morning.
Until tomorrow then, my friends . . .
