Thru The Lens

Not Quite Right

2009-12-31T09:39:00.000-08:00

The view from the Total Gym? The Kitchen...where the food is!

Day 22 - Yarn!

2009-09-29T08:49:00.000-07:00

I started a couple new projects and went through my stash!

Day 21 - Clean House! (9/25/09)

2009-09-26T08:10:00.001-07:00

There's got to be a better way...

Day 20 - In line

2009-09-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

This was the view right after the doors opened for the Unemployment office.

Day 15 - Visitors

2009-09-26T08:06:00.001-07:00

The babysitter...

Her new charge...

Wink!

Day 13 - Watch your Hands!

2009-09-26T08:02:00.000-07:00

This evil thing hit Bill's hand that he had hanging out the window going down the road - then it "bee-lined" straight down the back of his shirt and stung him.

Day 11 - Last Dive

2009-09-14T16:28:00.001-07:00

75 degrees is a little chilly - but I dived in for one last summer swim. Supposed to rain the rest of the week and not get into the 80s. Days are getting shorter too. Guess it's time to close it down.

Day 10 - Football-Miniature style

2009-09-14T11:23:00.001-07:00

Day 9 - Robin Hood in the making

2009-09-14T09:58:00.000-07:00

First Day with Bow & Arrow

Day 8 - Donation

2009-09-11T09:55:00.001-07:00

Donations come in all forms. Today I gave this old Agriculture Report book I've had to the Stevens Memorial Museum in Salem. The date was 1880, and the previous owner had used it as a scrapbook until about 1910 of various stuff in Washington County. Cool Stuff!

Day 7 - Time with Friends

2009-09-10T20:07:00.001-07:00

Got to hear Korean War stories and life stories that best the best of any soap opera!

Day 6 - Pool Time

2009-09-09T14:13:00.001-07:00

Not many warm days left - so I am taking advantage of any time I do have in the day to be in the pool!

Day 5 - Around the Lake

2009-09-08T15:26:00.000-07:00

This was taken with my cell phone while I was walking around the lake today. From the trail these roots peeking out of the watery jungle appeared to be a gnome's magical village. With the turtles darting back into the water, squirrels jetting up and down the tree, and birds calling all around, there was life all around!

Day 4

2009-09-07T11:39:00.000-07:00

Happy Labor Day everyone! Yes - another sleeping cat picture, but you can see why it's hard to post stuff sometimes!

Day 3

2009-09-06T17:40:00.001-07:00

Today I joined the "clan" to celebrate my "nephew's" 17th birthday. There was 13 of us all together! And Ryan's buffet provided a great place to eat and be merry!

Day 2

2009-09-05T17:55:00.000-07:00

So what if it's the end of the day? This night's moon is specatular. I just wish I had a better camera!

365 Days Challenge

2009-09-04T11:50:00.001-07:00

I recently seen one of my facebook friends take up this photo challenge where she posts a picture that represents her day that day...for 365 days! Well, I hope I'm up for it that long, but it will certainly make me practice. Here's my day 1.

This little guy followed me along the walkway making sure I was pulling the weeds and not fancy grass & flowers.

Inspired by Mrs. 4444

2009-07-14T08:03:00.000-07:00

I have a great blogger-friend, Mrs. 4444 who did a fabulous posting of her mom with her sisters at a party. They were getting ready for the pose - and in the process was really showing their personalities. Well, I couldn't resist this past weekend doing the same for Bill's dad and his brothers!

2009-06-29T08:02:00.000-07:00

After hearing a sermon this weekend on "chillaxing," I thought I would post one of my favorite images of what that would entail.

One Tired Puppy!

2009-05-30T19:21:00.000-07:00

These were taken by my mom. This is one of her dogs, Preacher. He's found a new spot for naps, but I think he's getting a little too big for that spot!

2009-05-27T07:07:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist this one! My little boy has found a new favorite spot to sleep...

The sliding glass door that I still need to get replaced (thus the glass shards around the edge). There are times I think he might fall through.

Photo Contest Entries

2009-05-20T12:23:00.000-07:00

I heard about a photo contest through Adventures In Missions. I've got some pretty decent ones from the Philippine trip that I'm going to submit, but I'd like to choose just a few to begin with. What do you guys think?

One of my favorites

2009-05-19T07:02:00.000-07:00

This is my baby-boy, Maestro. This was taken about 10pm one night - that means nap-time. He's patient sometimes, other times he worms his way into my arms while I'm working on the computer, and other times he just falls asleep while waiting - like in this picture.
