RED was another extremely popular theme. In fact, I daresay that these last few weeks have been the most successful weeks in the history of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

The pictures in the folder 2009-05-06 are of Shannon paying off a wager that she lost… to me. I feel bad calling it a wager, because she didn’t really stand much of a chance of winning. Well she had one chance when I think about it. We wagered on the… Read More »2009-05-06
Last Saturday night Jay, Willy, Jesse, and I piled into the Sir Pixalot-mobile and headed down to Des Moines for a dinner that had absolutely nothing to do with Jay’s dinner.

There is 1 day left to vote in the polls that will determine what pictures I enter in the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. If voting in all 6 polls at once is too much for you, you can at least cast a ballot in the last poll. Hidden Treasures of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 204 – MUSIC

I made a recent stop at Boone’s local old timey ice cream shop for a malt and to pick up a couple glass bottles of Pepsi to pay off a 7 month (but who’s counting) debt. While I was there I spied a couple glass bottles of Bubble Up. Bubble… Read More »A PHOTO JOURNAL – PAGE 116

Here are a… Read More »Available as Another Possibility

The pictures from the folder 2009-04-11 are from when Derrick and Jen moved into their new house. They moved about a month after I moved. They have since moved again. I have not. They… Read More »2009-04-11 & 2009-04-20
