This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week, or so, 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 [...]

I have had many requests for a new post.  Even from the spammers: I am amused at the spammers “understanding” of the posts. Granted I am sure they are generic comments, but these ones still make me laugh, because really they are not the other gross ones that think we need some “special help.” So [...]

This was from one of the meals at Youth Conference!  I sure do love me some cheese.

Last Friday (June 12), I went out for an afternoon bike ride, and when I got home, the monitors connected to my main work computer were dark. I wiggled the mouse to bring them back to life, but they did not revive. The computer had crashed. While such a thing had never happened with this [...]

This was taken early one morning on the way to one of the marching band contests this last fall.

“On May 20th, 2009, Drew Olanoff was diagnosed with cancer: Hodgkins Lymphoma. “Ever since that day, Drew has blamed everything on his cancer. Losing his keys, misplacing his wallet, Twitter being slow, the Phillies losing, etc. “Why? Because you have to beat up on Cancer to win… and you can help out. “Blame Drew’s Cancer [...]

So, I was pretty convinced there were raccoons in my plants. Until this morning when I opened the front door and saw two squirrels pulling on the bird feeder post.  They had it bent clear to the ground and were eating the seeds. I got mad!  I told them I hated them, and never to [...]

As I sit on my porch, admiring the garden I have been working on, I figure I had better post pictures of the garden as much as I have. Picture heavy! View of front of house.  I like to sit in those chairs and enjoy the warmth, and try to catch glimpses of the birds. [...]

After I let Mallory play with it.  I think this is from around Thanksgiving time. Right after I had it cut short.  And it would stick however I pulled it.  It was weird.

I bought black mulch.  I think I will like it, but with out the finished product, one can never really know.  It was not much more than the boring, cheep, no color kind, and all the colors cost the same.  Every one in town, it seems, uses red.  Everyone knows I have to be different.  [...]

I love Spring.  I love open windows.  We have had the back door open with the screen door locked so fresh air can get in. Apparently, the door is not sealed at the bottom, and we had a visitor enter on Friday.  He does not sing and/or walk on two legs, so he does not [...]

Eight years ago today, I was serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I was a part of the Chile Santiago West Mission.  I was living in this apartment*, with my companion Hna (Flavia) Franovich, and two other sisters. Hna (Kerry) McBride, and Hna (Michelle) Affleck.  We had all moved [...]

What is it? This morning I decided that since it did not look like rain, I would mow the yard. I got out the mower for the first time this season. It has rained way too much. The sun has been peeking through the clouds intermittently. The grass has been growing. A lot. So, out [...]

This was from when we went out to take Senior Pictures. Jared on the left and Andrew on the right.

We tried the Mentos in the Coke bottle experiment. It wasn’t as cool as if it had been diet Coke, but it was still pretty cool! Jared and Andrew turned 18 at the end of March, so we celebrated by launching rockets and trying to explode coke.

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!  My choice.  For you.  This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: 1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!  (Though I hope you will.) 2. What I create will be just for you. 3. It’ll [...]
