This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal… Read More »Chris’ New House 2009

The pictures in the folder 2009-09-09 are from two road trips I took back in 2009. One was a trip with my Mom, Grandma, and Teresa to Kalona. Kalona has always been one of my favorite places to visit. It has been too long since I have been there, that… Read More »2009-09-09
On Christmas Day, my family was sitting around Carla and Jason’s basement digesting a delicious meal, letting DIE HARD play in the background, playing pool, and discussing one of Amanda’s latest real estate projects. It was not going to be a joyous Christmas. About a week before Christmas, my last… Read More »After While Crocodile
Happy Thanksgiving! Every year on Thanksgiving I like to think about my many, many blessings. I know, real original. You should feel free to try it sometime. But make sure you let everybody know that I invented gratitude. I am thankful for my family, no matter how family is defined:… Read More »Gratitudo
I recently went over to my Grandma’s house with my Mom to take a picture for Page 117 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT.

The world wasn’t ready for these OLD/ELDERLY pictures on Monday. I’m not sure the world is ready for them now, but I can’t hold them back any longer. Most of these pictures were taken at a Methodist Church. Either in Boone or Stratford. You’re welcome world!
A bit from the old backlog. These pictures were taken on July 20. The zinnias were photographed in my very own Photography 139 Flower Garden. The garage sale pictures were from my Grandma’s somewhat controversial garage sale. I think that is the spin doctor way to describe the garage sale.… Read More »Zinnia Sale
Dipping into the backlog again. These pictures were taken on June 4. The majority of these pictures were taken at McHose Park. The other two were taken in my Grandma’s backyard.
I took some photos of the Stenslands back in May. Probably should show you some of them at this point. Here are some of my favorites. Not sure when this group of people will be together again. Alexis leaves for the Navy in the next few weeks. Elainie still has… Read More »Stensland Family Backlog Cleanout
The 16th was The Event Formerly Known as the Methodist Men Steak Fry. I think it was an overall success. We served 51 smoked pork chops and 2 hot dogs. Our speaker was Jack Owens, the founder (more-or-less) of The Salt Company. It was good food and good company and… Read More »Methodist Men NOT a Steak Fry – 2016

While I prefer the kind of party where a bunch of people show up at my house and do a bunch of work to my house, other people prefer parties where cake is served and people have polite conversation. Back in August we had such a party for my Grandma’s… Read More »Party of Another Kind
I know quite a few people that would dislike this picture because one of the subjects isn’t giving a nice smile right at the camera. That is the exact reason why I love this picture. This picture was taken at my Grandma’s 90th Birthday Party. These are her children. A… Read More »Ohhh… Uncle Gary
The rest of the pictures from my phone from the last couple of months. Once again, if you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen most of these already. Carry on! First time playing BINGO with Jill. After watching MONTAGE OF HECK, I listened to a ton of Nirvana… Read More »Phonetos Vol. 2
A rose from my grandma’s rose bush. More of my grandma’s flowers are coming down the chute.
Found My Grandpa Paris passed away a few months after I was married in 2002. All of the stuff in his garage went mostly untouched for several years. Then about 3 years ago some of my aunts and uncles decided to rent out his garage so that Grandma could have… Read More »Personal Photo Project #175
