Little Guitar Man

While at Heather’s to take her photos before Homecoming Dance, Cameron decided to show off his guitar skills. With this one, Jim his pop-pop figures he has shown him too many Jimi Hendrix videos on You Tube. 🙂 Oh well, at least it’s not on fire. 🙂

Homecoming 0

Heather’s Homecoming

After the Jasper in the tree crisis, I didn’t have time to breathe, have a cup of tea and just relax, we had to rush off to Heather’s as she asked me to take her photo before going to her Homecoming Dance at her school. (Same school her mom, dad,...

Jasper in the Tree

Our little kitten, called “Small” by Silas, and has been ordained “Medium” by Miranda, because, well, he’s growing up. No longer the baby we used to bottle feed and he is getting into everything. His new fascination is the outdoors. Cats outdoors is not new to us, but that is...

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers

You might be interested to read the truth about the Founding Fathers — and how they would lead America today. This was a generation without equal, and it deserves to be rescued from the politically correct textbooks, teachers, and professors who want to dismiss the Founders as a cadre of...

Cell Phone Photos

Laura and I played tennis the other day. The sky was an absolutely lovely fall sky.  I hadn’t brought my camera with me as my usual. Then I remembered, hey, my cell phone has a 3 MP camera in it! So I pointed the phone upwards… This could be handy!

William Jennings Bryan's closing statement 0

Closing Statement

A very thoughtful Closing Statement. History class took Laura and I to the Scopes Trial today. I learned a lot that I didn’t know before. There are a lot of myths out there on what really happened, but that’s a whole other blog… The closing statement of William Jennings Bryan,...

Escape Hell

Today we read in Laura’s American Literature book an excerpt from “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards. “All wicked men’s pains and contrivance they use to escape hell, while they continue to reject Christ, and so remain wicked men, do not secure them from hell,...

How To Change The Text Message Ringtone For The Samsung Impression?

Samsung Impression Well, the new mobile phone is still a novelty around here. Laura is breaking records on text messages, but wasn’t very crazy about the alert tone announcing a text message. Unlike cell phones in the past that I have owned, this one didn’t come with a booklet/manual. It...

Blast the Ballast 1

Blast the Ballast

Our family acquired (according to Laura, by heavenly means) a big screen TV. I am beginning to take issue with the heaven sent theory and regard it as a rather hellish one. The TV when it’s working is a gem. The picture image is great. However most of the time...

Miquel is 20 – Time for Fideus

My son Miquel is now 20. Today we had a quiet (as quiet as here gets) celebration at home with his favorite meal (fideus) and some ice-cream cake. His friend Brandon joined us and so did Jenny via the webcam! Ice cream cake and presents. Tomorrow he will have a...

Blackmailing David Letterman

I am sorry, but when you stand in front of the world on national TV, and call a mom and decent lady a “slutty fight attendant”, or that they look like one, and you are sleeping with more than one of your staff in secret, I do believe there is...

Digital Camera with Built-in Projector

Now here is an interesting idea. Have you taken photos and  you want to share them with your friends, but haven’t downloaded them yet on your computer? You don’t want to use the small screen in the back of the camera either? Well, you can with the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj...

Vagabond guitar 0

Vagabond

I remember growing up seeing a guitar about the house and even strumming on it a few times. My mom always told me it was my dad’s, but I never saw him play it. It was a different guitar with pictures on it. Back then it seemed a rarity to...
