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
The pictures from the folder 2009-06-29 are mostly from a softball game between Alexis’ team and a team coached by Jesse and Lowell. I assume Alexis’ team won the game because of… Bennett genetics. There are some pictures of Larry Howard in this post. Larry passed away earlier this year.… Read More »2009-06-29
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-10 are from a Mother’s Day Celebration. I think it is the first family celebration I hosted at my current abode. Might have been one of the last. I don’t know that I will ever host one again because my house is on the smaller… Read More »2009-05-10

6 days ago another college basketball season sadly came to an end. While it was one of the most exciting tournaments in history, it was bittersweet as the Cyclones were eliminated in the 1st Round. Now anybody that watched Iowa State’s mercurial season knew that there was a good chance… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 15 Final Results
A few weeks back Rodan139 took a tremendous tumble from the sky. According to the flight log, Rodan139 fell out of the sky from 190 feet. It was going 40.3 MPH when it hit sweet, round, Mother Earth. Rodan139 was a hurting unit when I got to it. A couple… Read More »Lazarus Come Out!
The pictures in the folder 07-20-08/State Tournament are from when Elainie played in the Little League State Tournament in Albia. Looking through the pictures, I had forgotten that Dawn’s daughter Debra also played on that team. It might be where we rekindled our friendship. Or maybe our friendship began. I’m… Read More »07-20-08/State Tournament
There is a bit of variety in the folders 06-22-08 & 06-23-08. There are pictures of Elainie playing softball. There are pictures of an Ames on the Half Shell concert. Vivace I believe.

Time to hit the backlog again. Here are some family pictures we took when Elainie was in town… back in March… 2017. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible that day, so we were trapped inside. Hopefully, next time we do a family portrait, the weather will be more cooperative. +++++++++++++ A… Read More »One of Nature’s Masterpieces
These are the pictures from the folder 03-25-08: By restoring these photos to the Photography 139 Photo Gallery, I was able to restore the following classic blog entries to their former glory: MY HAPPY EASTER THURSDAY NIGHT WITH KOUNTERTOP (PT.1) A NEW GIG RELAY FOR LIFE The picture of me… Read More »03-25-08
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Rather than my standard picture of an inflatable turkey, thought (with apologies to Lecrae, I’d give thanks for some of the many blessings in my life. Count it up, count it up, count it up. Line ’em up, line ’em up, line ’em up. Blessed with a… Read More »Won’t Take that Credit; I know Where We Get It; Them Blessings Be Comin’ from God Above

Now would be a good time to check in on the Selfie Project. I’ve attempted and failed at this project 3 times now. The farthest I’ve ever made it is 116 days. I feel like this just might be the year. Here are some of my favorites from March: March… Read More »March
Before Alexis took off for the Navy, Elainie came home. We used this as an opportunity for an impromptu family photo. Thanks to Ernie for taking the photo! More from this photo shoot coming at some point.
Looks like the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE went on Spring Break. Perhaps SILHOUETTE is too challenging of a theme. I’m not sure, but participation numbers this week are as low as they’ve ever been. Worries me that the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE might be on the way out. I guess we’ll see… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 78 – SILHOUETTE
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
There are a ton of pictures in good old 05-19-07. Probably should’ve broken this up into different posts, but that is quitter talk! Next Saturday’s post will be much shorter, I’m sure.
I’ve thanked all these people in person, but I’d like to publicly thank everybody that helped out in some either small or big way with my birthday party on Saturday. Big shout out to Scott for making tons of delicious mouth watering chicken and jalapeno cream corn. I only wish… Read More »The Birthday Party of Fate (Roundup)
