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)

Wells have always been a source of fascination for me. But I’m also very glad that I don’t have to drink well water on a regular basis. This well is from my Aunt Linda’s farm. I actually didn’t throw anything into the well. I consider this a sign of maturity.… Read More »The Driving Force

Still digging deep in to some Bennett family history in this collection. Including a wedding picture from my grandparents’ wedding.
This week’s Personal Photo Project is a blatant attempt at commerce. Good old fashioned in-your-face-capitalism. I’ve been talking to Barb Henning of Everlastings about selling high quality Photography 139 products in her store for several years now, but I have always been unable to pull the trigger. However, I’ve turned… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #144
It is the time of the year known as March Madness. That, of course means it is also time for me to run my annual NCAA Tournament Pool.
