Chance's 6th Grade Concert_May 2009

It's all about Chance...he looked so neat as he raised his trumpet to play. He is in this layout twice (on stage and foreground) Notice "little brother peeking out below. Gunnar wanted to be a goofball and "sneak" instead of "pose" so this is the result. Chance couldn't resist and made devil fingers over Gunnar's head, but I bested that with a Photoshop "paste up" of his other arm over the devil fingers. A ha! Chance!

Being All Boy!

Grandson Chance loves to send us photos from his cell phone. This one is precious of his younger brother, Caleb, even though they were just goofing off. It was taken in black & white under low-light conditions so it came out grainy. This grainy-ness is what gives it character and Chance captured his brother's feisty happy (sometimes exaperating) nature without realizing it. Captured: truly ALL BOY!

Spaghetti Gunnar_What's in Your Wallet?

How could I resist using the "credit card lab" treatment when I saw this cell-phone-sent photo of my youngest grandson sent to me by my eldest? Thanks, Chance. We have our own "Spaghetti Jimmy"!

Happy Birthday David

To my good friend David on his May birthday. (We share the same birth year). My son Ron tells me with a sparkle in his eye and friendly arm around my shoulder, "Mom, you're still young; after all, 60 is the new 40!" And to you, David I say, " You're still young.. sixty is the new forty!"
