Jacob and Marcia

So I have been working on a project lately that has me using Google Maps. I have learned a few things while doing this. One thing I wish to share is odd, these maps do not read the letter “E” as an apartment number. It reads it as east, every time. Which is frustrating if [...]

Here’s another first: On Saturday, we did our first real paid catering gig (along with my mother and my uncle Kevin – my mother was the head chef). Marcia has worked as a professional chef before (at the Bed&Breakfast she used to manage), but this was my first time in the professional arena. It was [...]

This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin. Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana [...]

This is a Picture of the sky we saw as we left Sam’s wedding (Jacob’s cousin), also the same day we took Erin to the airport for schooling.  We, meaning Richard and Karen and I, Jacob had a band thing to attend. Here is a picture from the wedding.  It was a Civil War Wedding, [...]

I spend some of my days subbing at a preschool on the local college campus. There is one little girl there that is currently 2 yrs 9 months old. Last winter and spring she called me “Jerry” and had other adults that help thinking it was my name. She did learn my name, and I [...]

Every Wednesday when Jacob teaches the drum line, I find my way over and watch them practice. This was taken at one such practice.

I know this was harder than some.  Aiden that I babysit on occasion likes to play with a model skeleton I have from college days.  The picture is of “Alfred’s” ribs.

? to go. Today marks our 10th monthiversary of marriage. Joking with Jacob I asked, “Can you believe we have been married for ten months and haven’t killed each other yet?” He responded with this question, “Does that surprise you?” Me, “More everyday.” Truth be told, it does not surprise me. I love Jacob, very [...]

It is amazing that we can stand in our small town and see details in the night sky.  Tonight we went out with Erin and Keri to our favorite cemetery  (yes, the same one where we visited with the Police Officer) with the telescope.  We saw the galaxy Andromeda, Jupiter and his moons, our own [...]

Specifically an ant carrying a silk worm. Una hormiga. When I was little I used to think it was only a myth that ants carried a lot of stuff.  Last Wednesday when I was hanging out watching the band that Jacob works with, I saw a bunch of ants carrying the silk worms around.  I [...]

Apparently this weekend is the time for my annual summer head cold. The human body is an amazing thing, and today I am particularly amazed at the incredible amount of SNOT the human head can manufacture in a short period of time. Fortunately, this is just the summer sickness going around (at church today fully [...]
