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.

Lanie – Senior Recognition – Ginger and I visited Christ Church today to watch Lanie receive her Senior Recognition. As you can see from the pictures, we were keeping a low profile at the back of the church. 6 pictures

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

Range Time – Notice how you cannot see a target in this picture? There is a good reason for that…

My View From the Hammock – We did some yard work this morning. Afterwards, I indulged in a few minutes in the hammock.

Routine Cleaning – Cleaning and fixing things was not quite my plan for the day, but that is what I ended up doing. +3

Roomba Cleaning – The Roomba started to do the ‘circle dance’ again. I love the idea of the Roomba, and when it works it is great. However, the design sucks.

Ginger lent Tubby her phone and Tubby wore himself out trying to watch bird videos. It’s tough being a half blind, half deaf cat.

How many old cameras do I need? This is not a serious attempt at a picture, I was just pointing my camera at things in my office late one night.

wind-blown snow on the ground with fall leaves

Last night it dropped to 3°F (-16°C) and we had a light dusting of snow. Needless to say, I had no inclination to go out taking pictures this morning. This afternoon, once the temperature had crept up above 10°, I ventured out for a few quick shots.

With single digit temps outside Tubby is quite content to snooze away the afternoon in the warm.

Ceramic Fish – I must have had these ceramic fish for 12-15 years, they were a gift from my sister. I take a picture of them every now and then. They followed me across the Atlantic. A tiny bit of the UK seaside here in the Ozarks.
