Now that I have the keywords in my gallery closer to being set up the way (but is by all means, not pefect) I want them to be set up, I think the halfway mark of the year is a perfect time to bring back the Happy Birthday post. So… Read More »Happy Birthday Jen!
Recently had the pleasure of attending the Powell 40th Anniversary Banquet and have a tasty meal, watch Sara on a video, enjoy excellent company, and watch a hilarious comedian.

I have to confess that I did flop a couple (nearly all) of these days around for convenience and to work around special events. This is a practice I don’t condone, but one that I won’t shy away from in the future. The 3rd 7 days of the 365 Day… Read More »365 Day Photo Challenge: 15-21

I only had time last year to make a handful of calendars. If you didn’t get a calendar this year, I am sorry. I only had one left and I gave it to Nader because he actually called and asked for one. If somebody begged I suppose I could print… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #99
A few weeks back I attended Evie’s birthday party. I didn’t take many photos as everybody else there had at least 1 camera and so my photo coverage of the event would have seemed excessive. Seriously, Evie has her own paparazzi. However, I did take a few photos of her… Read More »Birthday Number One
I hate the phrase “things happen for a reason” more than I hate any other phrase in the world. That doesn’t mean that I don’t necessarily believe in fate, but for the most part I don’t like fate. Its plans run contrary to my plans, no matter how hard I… Read More »Giant Steps
I made it to the State Fair twice this year. I went once on a Friday to see Maroon 5 with Jill. Then on the last day of the Fair I went with my Mom. I met up with Derrick, Jen, and Evie. We ran into Sara, Shawn, and Cousin… Read More »State Fairing It Up!
If you are reading this post, then I actually made it to Minnesota for Vacation Take 2. I have already eaten at :-DSpot and Hell’s Kitchen with Jill. I have probably attended the Minnesota State Fair and eaten at Dixie’s on Grand with Nate, Bethany, and Becca. However, since I’m… Read More »RWPE Y2 #34 – STRENGTH
As you may recall, I like to check in on some statistics every 100 posts or so to see how things are doing in popularity. However, this statistical check-in will mark the end of an era. I am officially retiring the Snapshots Gallery and the Artistic Gallery. The advent of… Read More »Post 1200
Back in early July, Jill came home to play piccolo and flute (on America the Beautiful) for the Boone Municipal Band during the Iowa Municipal Band Festival. Here are a few pictures from the event, but really they are just more pictures of Evie. As of the writing of this… Read More »Iowa Municipal Band Festival

The best laid plans of mice and men… I had written this journal entry several days ahead of schedule because I was planning to be in Minnesota right now. I made all the appropriate plans, but fate took a hand and forced me to cancel my vacation. At about 3:35… Read More »RWPE Y2 #31 – LEADING LINES
This is not meant to be a “tooting my own horn” thing. That is not something I do. In fact, I don’t even own me a horn. This is just a statement of facts for interested parties. Both of you. You know who you are. Several weeks back I selected… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #79
These pictures come from the following folder: Backup/Old My Pictures/Pop Art I want to make one thing clear, I’ve always hated Pop Art and Andy Warhol. Although fascinatingly, very few of these pictures could be considered pop art, but I want to make sure that nobody misconstrues this collection as… Read More »The Archives: Edition Twenty-Eight
Back in the middle of June I made a trip to Minnesota with Jim. There were several great moments on the trip, but I will just cover two of the events in this entry. The first is a tale of when I went to see Super 8 with Jill. Since… Read More »Minnesota
