A quick heads up. If you were thinking of going to or entering an animal into the Pufferbilly Days Dog and Exotic Animal Show, because of the extreme heat of today it was postponed. It is now tomorrow at noon at the park on 9th and Story. +++++++ I have… Read More »Fat Mum Slim – July 2022
A quick housekeeping note: for the last couple of months I haven’t been able to email people with a Gmail account. If you have written me and I haven’t written back, I have tried, just Gmail security has been dumb. However, on Friday, I believe I finally got all the… Read More »WPC – WEEK 352 – CHILDREN
Yesterday I completed another successful month of THE SELFIE PROJECT. November really seemed to fly by, with the holiday and other commitments.

Although there isn’t really a youth group at the church right now, Andy was able to rustle a bunch of kids to help the Methodist Women collect items for their annual rummage sale and help tear things down after it was over. Other than an unfortunate run-in with a douchey… Read More »Methodist Women’s Rummage Sale
I didn’t take many pictures in the month of December in 2010, so I decided to just do the entire month and combine all the folders into one mega sized post. There are pictures in here from a family portrait fundraiser (that was not a huge success) for the youth… Read More »12December2010
It seems like a good time to review my first time as the Chair of the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. I don’t know I can say it was an extreme success, but enough of a success to build on. Participation was way down this year, but I think that was… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest – 2021
The pictures in the folder 2010-09-20 are from a block party at the Boone First United Methodist Church. It was supposed to be a mostly outside event, but bad weather forced it to be inside. It is weird looking at these pictures now, because these little kids are now in… Read More »2010-09-20
So I’ve made a decision about THE SELFIE PROJECT. I’ve decided to start it backup tomorrow. Saturday, May 1. I did a few selfies during the month of April.

Here we are, the last day of 2020. That means it is time for me to share the December image from the 2021 Photography 139 Calendar.

Happy Christmas Eve everybody! This is always my favorite worship service of the year. However, it is just one of the many things taken away by a horribly mismanaged pandemic. But I thought I would share a picture from the 2016 service as hopefully a reminder of what is coming… Read More »Postcard Recreation Project – Boone FUMC

On Thanksgiving, my church (Boone First United Methodist) served nearly 800 free meals to the community. I could write about it, but why bother, when Kio has already done such a great job at that: Seven hundred seventy one meals were served at First United Methodist Church’s 23rd annual free… Read More »Community Thanksgiving – 2020

This post is mostly a catch-all of cleaning up some image collections taken back in August, that were either going to part of bigger journal entries that I have abandoned or just a few rando pictures taken here and there that I just want to clean up and get out… Read More »A Little Here, A Little There

All the way back in early March, the Methodist Men held their annual Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast. This wasn’t the last time that we had a worship service at Boone First United Methodist Church, but had to be pretty close to the last. Maybe one more or two more worship… Read More »Biscuits & Gravy
