I don’t even know how many work days from home it is now. I think it is 40. Who knows any more. But I did discover a new positive this week. That the new positive. I like being able to use my lunch hour to mow. I’m not a big… Read More »The Baugher Wedding – One

This… Read More »An Artist’s Notebook Post #3751
This is the final collection of images from my annual photo shoot with Scottie D.’s progeny. It feels like it was a little shorter than normal because it was freezing out there. The actual temperature, plus a pretty stiff breeze. The longer we were out there, the colder it got.… Read More »A & P #3

I need to start this post by announcing that the Sharp family is making laundry detergent like crazy and donating it to area food banks like IMPACT and the Toreador Pantry. However, they need more laundry detergent jugs, so they have set up a garbage can at the end of… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 2

Tonight would have been the last youth group of the year. Late last week I had to officially cancel the mission trip because the organization we go with cancelled all mission trips before July 12. We would’ve had an opportunity to reschedule, but none of the potential dates really worked… Read More »A & P #1
Day 3 was the only day we spent entirely in Orlando. It was one full day too many. Orlando is flat out one of the worst cities I’ve ever visited. It is dirty. It is poorly laid out. There is no culture. There is no music. There is no historical… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – The Game
