The "Photo Browsing" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Adding a few more photos to my "Pinterest" page.  I wrote a story about "Pinterest" a few weeks ago and how much fun it is to see photos that others have posted from  all over the world.  Actually you can share recipes, decorating tips, quotes, etc. along with the photo of whatever category holds your interest.  Are you starting to get the idea that "Pinterest" really is "Interest" with a "P" in front of it.  I now have almost 3,000 entries or photos on my page.  My page was actually started by my wife Carol.  Since she didn't have a photo of herself that she liked, she used the photo that I have been using for this blog and presto, she had a "Pinterest" page or account with my photo on it.  Last night, instead of watching TV I sat in front of my 21 inch iMac screen and added a few more photos from other people all over the world.  Then I went through a few of the 21 boards or categories that Carol and I have and picked a few to share with you so you can see what you can do if you would like to join in the fun.  Just "Google" Pinterest and you're on your way.  Hope you enjoy some of the photos that I have added in the last year or so.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
