Yesterday, Rachelle posted on Facebook about some old photos of a Christian summer camp she attended, and that there were some shots of my beloved wife Susan in there, too. After some digging, I found this photo and I literally said “Holy crap!” This photo is of my wife back in the day:
This is a photo of my daughter from last year:
I see a resemblance!
Let’s see how much of this I can remember. After I rode my scooter into the lobby of the office on Friday afternoon, I went home. I don’t remember supper. I do remember that we put the kids to bed early, and Susan and I spent some quality alone time snuggling on the couch, watching the Barrett-Jackson car auction. She made the remark that I like my cars like I like my women: Curvy! I think she exclaimed that after a shot of a Corvette rear-end with which I was enamored!
Saturday morning. Omlettes for everyone. Washed dishes. Ran some errands. A basic “clean the house and get caught-up” kind of day. In the evening, Susan made a fantastic supper which was a high point of the weekend: beef tenderloin with a mushroom/bleu cheese gravy, baked potatoes with sour cream and green onions, and green beans with rosemary. For dessert I whipped up a little creme caramel. We went to bed early, as we needed to be up early.
My alarm went off at 5am. It’s the first time since Susan bought me my new alarm clock back in December that I haven’t woken before the alarm. (Apparently, my internal clock is pretty durn good!) We woke the kids up, and went to Easter sunrise service. It was cold and windy! After that, it was breakfast at the church, which was good. We came home for an hour or two, then back to church for Sunday School and the Easter Cantata. Then to my Mom’s house for an Easter egg hunt. Ma’s house for lunch. Susan wasn’t feeling well, so she stayed at my Mom’s and laid on the couch. We came home, and she went to bed. The children and I hung out, playing with Easter toys and watching some Electric Company and stuff. At 5:30pm, I woke Susan up so I could go to evening church. Then I came home, and had a delicious supper of, well, leftover tidbits in the fridge. I went to bed relatively early.
On Saturday, the kids and I went to the Owls Head Transportaion Museum. Not only was there free admission, but there was a workshop where the kids could build their own Styrofoam glider. We had a great time, and I took some photos. I took Susan’s new Pentax digital SLR. The LCD screen looks much different that how the photos actually come out. On the screen, the photos with a flash looked very over exposed. So I shut the flash off. Then, they looked ok on the LCD. When I got home to the computer, though, it was exactly the opposite. The photos with the flash looked fine (although there were harsh shadows), and the ones without flast were under exposed. Ah well, it’s a sophisticated camera, and will take some time to learn. Maybe I should read the manual!
Shuffling Canada Jack tagged me. Here’s the low-down:
Rules of the game:
1. Go to the the 4th folder where you keep your pictures on your computer.
2. Post the 4th picture in the folder.
3. Explain the photo.
4. Tag 4 fellow bloggers to join in the fun!
Ok, let’s go to My Photos. Fourth folder in is called Birthdays 2007. The fourth photo in is my youngest, Matthew.
The file notes of the photo say it was taken with a Kodak camera. That’s not my brand. I think Grammy-Nan actually snapped this photo.
I’m supposed to tag three people. Here’s where I run into issues. Lisa and Susan have lots of photos, but I don’t think they know how to post them. Jim doesn’t post anymore. Jack already played, and she already nominated Amber. So how about Melanie and Amy? You guys take, and know how to post, photos. Why not give it a go?
I was working on an ad for a local phone book. I needed a place to save it on the office file server. While poking around for a folder to which I had permissions to save files, I found a folder called “Bill’s.” I found a bunch of photos taken one day when the boys came to visit me. You can see those photos here.
