Granite Girls Soccer
As you already know, Laura has been playing for Granite on their girl’s soccer team. Naturally I have taken this as yet another fun photography opportunity. This has been a challenge. I was used to taking photos of Miquel’s tennis, but soccer was a whole other matter. The team has worked hard and are having a good season. Click here to see all the gals playing soccer. … Read entire article »

Call Me Critical
My mom lately has taken back to doing an old favorite hobby of hers, reading. Why? She has had enough of the news, and has directed the time she used to watch the news back to reading. I can’t say as I blame her, the news is quite frustrating. Take the recent news of New Jersey’s governor, they figure he will be able to govern from his hospital bed via video . I am sorry, but this is the same governor that got put IN the hospital after a traffic accident with his vehicle (a SUV) going 90+ miles per hour WITHOUT a seatbelt. Call me critical, but I don’t think he should be governing anything. I don’t know about New Jersey, but he broke two Maryland laws right there. I don’t think he … Read entire article »

TV 4 U
Some movies and TV shows have fallen out of copyright and are available for free download and viewing. TV4U has classic online television and movies like The Red Skelton Show, Petticoat Junction (one of my favorites as a little girl), Mothers in Law, and even game shows like Concentration.There is one small downside, and that is that the site makes you watch commercials. When I turned on the Red Skelton Show (I remembered how my sister liked that show), I noticed with that one, some of the commercials were the very ones broadcast during the show, so that was kind of interesting! Have a look at TV4U … Read entire article »

Twelfth Night
Last night I had the pleasure of taking my daughter, her friend Erin, as well as having the company of my son and his friends Mike and Ross to see a play. The play we went to see was Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” The main reason we went was to see Crazy Andrew’s performance as Sebastian. The performance was held at Anne Arundel Community College. It was kind of interesting to go to back to where I once attended school. Everything … Read entire article »

Appleton
My son would like me to move to Appleton, Wisconsin. I looked it up, it looks like a lovely place. It looks like a place I could take my camera and just have a grand time. I suppose it’s not out of the question. So I named my latest Sim City 4 endeavor Appleton, and what the heck, John Fieck (Enric’s good friend) is the mayor! Things are all going well in Appleton… (Click on the image … Read entire article »

Taxes
I just had to write a check along with sending my tax forms today. I don’t think I should have owed anything with the little I make, but heaven knows, Uncle Sam will find a way to waste it somehow, so there will be my contribution. I didn’t pass with flying colors Economics in school, but that wasn’t because it was so hard, it was more like Mr. Marcello, however old and sweet, was SO boring and the notes Donna … Read entire article »

No More Carpet
If it wasn’t enough that I had to move 25+ years of living into one room from a three floor house, often something that took my spirits down was to look at the aging and damanged carpet on my bedroom floor. Now, there are a group of fellows that spend a lot of time in our home visiting my son, and more often than not, they aren’t doing much of anything. So, I got this idea. Ripping up the … Read entire article »

Easter, Present Day
I know I posted some older photos of past Easter’s last time, so it only seems right to post the most recent. Easter was a cold one this year, so that explains Miquel’s trench coat and gloves. Laura wore a new dress sewn by my mom, and she looked just dazzling in it, which is good because Mom worked hard! The rest of the day was a nice one, spent with family and nice homemade meal of ham, mashed potatoes, … Read entire article »

Past Easters
I’ve been going through old photos and scanning them. I thought I would share some past Easters with you. The first is my mom and I in front of our new house. I guess I was 7 or 8. The second is me in our Baltimore back yard. Next to last, my sister Linda and I with little Kimmy. I suppose I was around 14. Last, is one of my favorite photos. My mom and dad in front of the … Read entire article »
