I don’t always get my picture taken with the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, but when I do I make sure Congressman Emanuel Cleaver is in the picture too.

It was very dark unfortunately … But that’s the end of Lanie’s high school theater run. Though she still has to go to Nationals in June with speech and debate.

Keystone 8mm Home Movie Camera — I needed a stock picture for an advert promoting a Facebook Live Video event. Rather than buy something, I took a quick picture of a movie camera in my collection.

Langstone Mill – Besides being picturesque, Langstone Mill is interesting because it is the site of two mills. Besides the obvious windmill, there was also a tidal mill. Plus a bonus reminisce, and a picture from the seventies. 1 3

The Royal Oak & Langstone Mill – We weren’t quite sure what time we were supposed to be arriving for dinner with my brother and his family, so we decided to have a short walk followed by a quick preprandial drink in the Royal Oak.

Watermill – Weald & Downland Living Museum. Who couldn’t resist taking a picture of this watermill with its reflection in the lower pool? There were lots of moorhen chicks and tiny ducklings around in the lower pool, and I’ll confess, I couldn’t resist taking a picture of them. 3

Vacation Days 3-5 – Working. All I had to do was create the artwork and then upload it all to the printer’s website — That was before we rented two weeks display time on an electronic billboard. 4

Southsea Beach – Vacation Day 1 – The flight out, a walk to the beach, and beer. Once back in Portsmouth we took a short nap. We then decided that a visit to the beach was in order, and somehow that led to a pint of beer. 5

I say it is because I’ve lost weight. My wonderful wife says I’m retaining less water. I prefer my version.
