Foto Fun

Daughter and granddaughter invited me on a daytrip to visit my former brother-in-law deep in the boonies. I didn't feel as though I wanted to travel 2.5 hours each way on one day, so I demurred. However, it was Brian's birthday weekend, so I decided to acknowledge the occasion by sending along a fun sort of gag gift.

I have been known to like both coke and chips — coke in Diet form — and Brian always seemed to appreciate liberating the occasional can of coke from me although he never seemed to get around to purchasing his own. So, for fun, I decided to send a few cokes and a bag of chips along with Shauna.

But, something else was needed, and so I decided to make a fun card. I found this old photo of Brian and his daughter-in-law, shucking corn at a family reunion.

I cropped Mary out of the picture and then got rid of the firepit and corn that he was holding. I replaced the corn with a can of Diet Coke and added a bag of chips in the crook of his arm. Then, using AI, I added chips as though they were falling. Finally, I added the bible verse. We both have very evangelical no bliblical backgrounds, and since we haven't seen each other for seven years, I thought it was an appropriate final but funny touch.


He seemed to appreciated my fun gift and sent me this photo.

  3. Since I still haven't figured out how to get AI to do the household chores, this is certainly a good-enough use of it. So glad to see you clowning around!

  14. Love the construct, and how you did it. And I also love the game of sending Bible verse messages - my family used King James, and you would have been told to look up Deuteronomy 28, v 8.

  15. Not much of a chip eater. But every so often there a nice treat.
