Local Travel
Met up with our Columbus family at Kingwood Center Gardens yesterday. Beautiful walk through the gardens, free entertainment by one of the resident peacocks as we at our lunch. This beautiful guy was very confused by the lack of a body attached to those decorative tail feathers, especially as they moved about in the wind!

A Gift of Time
When one’s parents have reached the point of having all they really need or want, gift-giving becomes… challenging. But one thing money can’t buy, shopping can’t provide, and no search can find, is time. Not time of the “extra days of life” variety, but the “time enjoyed together” type. So PrettyWife and I decided our gift-giving is going to be unique days spent with the ‘rents and any of our kids who can join us. So far, We’ve been blown away by how great the experiences have been!

2020: A Year of Visual Clarity and Interesting Photography

Becoming a lazy and inefficient photographer again, and something needs to change. A great advantage of digital photography is the virtually unlimited number of pictures one can […]
Fabulous Furniture (and Cars and Rockets and…)

Next clear chance in traffic you’ve gotta’ turn back, you’ve gotta’ stop- and once in a while stopping’s even […]
