Today is Dahlia’s birthday. So I need to wish her a happy birthday.
I hope your birthday is filled with plenty of play time!
Time for another collection of glorious BLACK AND WHITE images. These were all taken at Logan’s birthday party. I hope you like pictures of kids playing in water!
I still have one more collection of glorious BLACK AND WHITE images to share! I’m post black and white, animal triste.
Time to start sharing the final alternate images for the glorious theme of BLACK & WHITE. All of these images are related to the Boone First United Methodist Church in one way or another. I started my day by worshipping an awesome God at Boone FUMC. Then I spent part of my evening at a 30 mile radius church picnic thing. I didn’t take any pictures there cause I was busy talking with Kio, Shannon, Adam, (and others) while dominating the water balloon toss. And I mean dominating. I almost worry the other competitors felt bad about how thoroughly dominated they were. Some will probably never touch a water balloon again.
Here are some pictures, mostly from the church:
We apparently ran out of “O”s for God and had to use a zero.
There are still a ton of pictures from this day left to share. The rest are from Logan’s surprise birthday party. It will probably take 2 days to share them!
Bokeh Picture of the Week coming up!
She’s a charmer!
Time to share the food I knocked down on my work trip to New Orleans. This time I ate breakfast and it was so amazing that I wish I had eaten breakfast every, single day! So freakin’ good. I also ate lunch with Michelle at a food truck across the street from the Convention Center. Then I tried to eat supper at the Computer Mine Sales Team party but the food was just the worst thing ever. Hard to describe how terrible it was. So I ended up knocking down a street dog on Bourbon Street. No regrets there. One of the best hot dogs I’ve ever eaten!
You can’t get a good chocolate milk outside of Iowa, but this wasn’t bad.
I could have licked the plate, it was so good!
I got the Smoked Sausage.
It was pretty good.
But what Michelle got was better.
Sales “party”.
I was so excited for the fried okra, but you can’t serve fried foods like this!
This was the most serviceable food there.
Gross. But free at least.
A dang good Bourbon Street hot dog!
Jimmy J’s Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants I’ve ever been to. In fact, I went there for breakfast again the next day. Oh my, I’ve said too much.
So I haven’t been great about updating my quest to live healthier. But this is what I can say. I’m currently 3.8 pounds from my ultimate goal weight. And this week I earned a new FitBit Badge:
WooHoo me! I did a better job of getting steps in this week and I ate better… well until the weekend. I ate lots of Fair food. But that is okay. Not every day can be nutritional winners!
This collection of glorious BLACK & WHITE images i took on July 6. I had a fairly lazy Saturday. I took a mini-road trip over to Jefferson for some A&W and had Jay, Willy, Monica, and Graham over for watermelon. But that was about all I did all day.
This was Shorty & Doris’ farm.
Only 1 day of alternate glorious BLACK & WHITE images left to share, but it might take several days to share them all. We’ll see.
Time to share another collection of alternate images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme BLACK & WHITE. I took these glorious BLACK & WHITE pictures on July 5. I went over to Nevada to try what was allegedly great chicken from a gas station with Teresa and hosted Willy and Jay for FNSC and then a viewing of Dragon House. Or whatever that show is called.
2 more days of glorious BLACK & WHITE images left to share!
Today is Alexis’ birthday. So I need to wish her a happy birthday.
I hope it is a magical birthday! Dirty Slytherin…
Time to share the final set of BLACK & WHITE pictures I took on the 4th of July that were alternates for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Most of these were taken at Scottie D.’s 4th of July Bash.
4 days of glorious BLACK & WHITE images down! 3 more days to go.
Time to share more of the alternate BLACK & WHITE images I took on the 4th of July. This collection concludes the tiem I spent in Ames on that day. Mostly watching a parade with the Gorshes.
Still one more collection of glorious BLACK & WHITE pictures from this day left to share!
Another Bokeh Picture of the Week? You got it!
On Friday Bokeh went in for her final set of puppy vaccines. She now weighs 35 pounds. This picture is of her waiting on me to pump some gas.
Time to share the food I knocked down on Day 4 of my work trip to New Orleans. I didn’t eat breakfast again. I ate lunch at the convention center concession stand, which was a mistake. Then got tricked into going to supper with the sales team by Michelle, but it was worth it. The Butcher was one of the best meals I had on my trip.
It was not good, but at least I got outside.
I got the Moroccan Spiced Lamb.
With marinated brussel sprouts.
Michelle’s meal.
The Butcher definitely made up for the Po’ Boy. It was a great meal!
Still 3 days left of New Orleans meals to share. Well 2.333333.
Time to share the alternate images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme BLACK & WHITE that I took on July 4. In fact, I took so many pictures on that day, I’m going to split this into 3 days. The first day consists of pictures I took around Ames before and after watching the Independence Day Parade in Ames with the Gorshes.
Let’s get after it:
Still 2 more collections of images from this day left to share.
Today is Logan’s birthday, so I have to wish him a happy birthday!
I hope your day is filled with quality garage sale finds and a ton of photo opportunities!
Today is also Derrick’s birthday, so I also need to wish him a happy birthday!
I hope your birthday is filled with camping and some tasty face melting guitar solos. Probably some Pink Floyd as well.
Time to share more alternate BLACK & WHITE images for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. These BLACK & WHITE images I took on July 3.
3 days of glorious BLACK & WHITE images shared! 4 more days to go!
