I saw this over at Marmite and Tea and thought it looked like a lot of fun. I copied in my last 10 or 11 posts out of curiosity, and viola. I don’t know much. If you want to see which words you use the most go see Wordle. Wow that's a littl

Do you have paraskevidekatriaphobia?

Friday, 13 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Are you afraid of Friday the 13th? No, I don’t mean the horror flick of the 80s (Did you know Kevin Bacon was in it?) although I remember being pretty frightened when I saw it at the drive-in theater. Maybe you don’t have paraskevidekatri

You guys are awesome!

I need to say this to all of you. Thank you! Thank you for being a wonderful support system. I think I would have many more blue days if I didn’t have this outlet.I always fear when I need to let out some steam, that you all will go away, or cl

On the road again

 We're taking off this morning and headed towards home.  See ya'll soon! I'm leaving the heat of Misery Missouri for the cooler days of Wisconsin.  SO look for me coming your way for a virtual visit as soon as I get un

Joys of living in tornado alley

Tuesday, 13 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
My dad ran into the house yelling for my mom to get in the basement now.  My parents live in southwest Missouri and this time the tornado hit about a half mile from their house.  That's just a little too close for comfort.  And, fr

Downtown Oshkosh filming begins

You guys are killing me (in a good way)

Saturday, 29 March 2008 8:50 P GMT-06
Honestly, I'm trying to catch up; I got a little behind in my crunches and have been playing catch up today.  Other than that we walked a bit in McMillan Marsh and the snow walking wore us out more than I treadmill would.  You guys have

Making of a tripod bag, or two

Thursday, 27 March 2008 2:04 A GMT-06
When you put two tripods together they clank. I’m talking about during the transport time, not during use. Although, I suppose if we get to close to each other we could make them clank. Anyway, I decided to use a couple of pair of pants to make

Exercising for Comments

A few days ago, I told you that I've joined a gym, and I've been going to the gym and actually working out. I generally bike/walk 6 miles each time I go, then do some of the weight machines. On some blog (it hadn‘t been updated since so

Do you need to Borrow a Lens?

Tuesday, 18 March 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
  Dennis and I have been contemplating buying the Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens, but we hadn’t been able to decide if we would be just as happy with the 50mm f/1.8. I don’t want to get lost in the lenses here but there’s a huge price

I think you guys know that I homeschool Haden but if you didn’t, you do now. And I’m helping Khristiaan prepare to take his GED. They both started having trouble in school when I was going through chemo and while I left them in for the re

My head is feeling better, I didn’t think it was ever going to quit hurting (it's snowing). You know it was really bugging me when you think about the fact I took zero photos for several days in a row! That is not me, generally, shut me in

Earthcache Masters

Tuesday, 4 March 2008 1:39 P GMT-06
Sorry for the crappy photo, it was one of the first I snapped while trying to master the lighting in my lightbox.  Anyway, Earthcaches are a recognized cache on Geocaching.  They're a LOT of fun as they as showing off a feature on the E

On someone's blog, hey if I could remember I would tell you where, I read about a magnetic bookmark.  Well I had to get me some of those!  I was amazed to find that Barnes and Noble had several different choices!  It was hard to ch

Did you see the eclipse?

Friday, 22 February 2008 8:34 A GMT-06
Can you believe that we grabbed coats, gloves, boots and ran out into the cold to attempt getting photos of the lunar eclipse while mother nature was sticking us in the freezer. We broke the old record low of -20, set in 1963 on February 21st and cre

Tuesday, 19 February 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
My heart leaped into my throat and all reason flew out of my head when I read the return on the envelope. Although it was addressed to my 18 year old son, he wasn’t home, I took it to my husband and told him I was tempted to open it. He reminde

Tuesday, 12 February 2008 10:02 A GMT-06
I‘m so behind on loading my photos. Hope you enjoy this hodge podge of images. A few weeks ago I went looking for a small camera bag, one that would simply hold a camera for time like walking on Beale Street and downtown Minneapolis. Yeah, afte
