Anybody seen my car?
Had one of those moments today. Went to see a client, came out and drove to the other end of the parking lot to go to the Safeway. Left Safeway and walked back to where I originally parked the car when I visited the client and the car was not there. Couldn’t believe it and after walking around dazed with the sad face, I almost reported a stolen vehicle to the police. Then I remembered I had gone to the Safeway and that’s where the car was. Laugh if you want but I know I am not the only one who has done this.
Have you had a “moment” lately?
Weekly Photo Challenge: Mine – My Bookshelf
When I think of “Mine” I think of my office and my bookcase which helps describe me. It is full of Bibles, pictures, photography books, math books, John Grisham and Walter Mosely novels, magazines, history books, and stuff. My stuff!

Marital Bliss
Barney and Lucille have enjoyed many years of marital bliss.
I photographed a friend’s family get together. It was a barbecue with family gathering from different parts of the country. Numerous pictures were taken but these two images of the grandparents are my favorites.

Age is beautiful
I went to the church picnic this past Saturday and one of the most fun and fascinating people there was an octogenarian in her mid 80s. I had met Miss Coryne before but had never really had a conversation with her. We spent hours talking and really having a great time. And I don’t mean a dull little polite conversation – it went all over the map.
There is something really beautiful about age. Sadly we live in a society that seems to discount people based on birth dates. We miss out on wonderful occasions Continue reading “Age is beautiful”
Saturday Afternoon Slide
What’s more fun than the playground on the first day of fall. Two boys enjoying the tube slide. They noticed that I had climbed inside to take a picture. Not sure if they thought I looked silly or if they were just smiling.
Friday morning waffles
Waffles aren’t really that big a deal to make. Looking through a cookbook not long ago I found a simple recipe where you just put some flour, a little bit of sugar, some baking powder and salt in a bowl. Then in another bowl you put an egg, some milk, and some oil and stir. Next you just have to mix the liquid and the dry stuff and pour the batter on a hot griddle. Takes less than five minutes. And it’s cheap.
I did that this morning – a Friday morning and you can see from the look on my tester’s face they turned out great. He approved.
Are you an Eggo only person? Know anything that’s good and can be whipped up really quickly?
Weekly Photo Challenge: Everyday Life – Boys being boys
Two young boys playing in ice bucket at a family event . There was a pool, a swing set, a trampoline and other things to keep them amused. Nevertheless, they chose the ice in the bucket. Simple fun!
Not your everyday dentist office.
One of last week’s assignments was a photo shoot for Ambiance Dental Spa in Bowie, MD.
It’s not your everyday dental practice. Dr. Clarine Green Hightower describes it as a dental spa and you will know what she means when you walk in and see the warm colors, comfortable seating, and patient friendly operatories (I just learned that word). There is a great staff and a number of other services and treatments that welcome patients.
Does this look like your dentist’s office?
