We took a trip to Washington DC and the surrounding area in 1988. Let’s do a series of pictures from that trip. This picture is of me recreating my high school picture of 1965 except without my classmates… Read More

When Jesus was on this earth he told us numerous times to be one as he and the father were one. If only we had listened and taken his words and life’s lessons seriously. I read recently that… Read More

I grew up in a small town in Indiana and spent my summers putting hay in farmer’s barns at ninety cents and hour. But it wasn’t until my college years that I started learning real lessons in responsibility…. Read More
Let’s finish up the honeymoon pictures with a luau. I have to be honest in that the food was really not that great but the atmosphere and entertainment more than made up for it. These photos were also… Read More
I know that I am not the only person in the U.S. who is deaf. In reality there are more than three million of us around. About two million of those are like me who went deaf as… Read More

Boy do I remember my wedding day. I suspect that most of us do. Of course for those who have been married multiple times the wedding day might get intermingled in our minds (ha). Fortunately I found my… Read More
Let’s finish up with Seattle. This time of Mount Rainer and the Boeing Factory. They didn’t allow any pictures inside the Boeing factory. I guess they figured no one else in the world knows how to make airplanes🙂… Read More
