These girls weren’t impressed by the somewhat older girls who were looking over the booth divider to see what they were doing!

Rubik’s Cube

My cousin’s son demonstrates his skill at solving the Rubik’s cube, while his cousin looks on. He had just come from a local competition in Des Moines, Iowa where he won several awards for his speed. I had never seen so many kinds of cubes before, or seen anyone solve them this fast. He solved the Rubik’s cube in his cousin’s hand in less than 10 seconds. The Rubik’s Cube in his hand took him much less than a minute to complete. I wish I could remember the exact times!?!

Two Great-Grandchildren help to cover the grave of my Uncle whose funeral was today.

Read Aloud

Celebrating “World Read Aloud Day!”

My good friend reading to his daughter!

I was prompted to post this blog after reading Beth’s blog this morning:

Budding Artist

Little boy enjoying the coloring sheet and colors that the hostess provided for him at the party!! So thoughtful! It’s Christmas Eve! Wishing you all a very very Merry Christmas!

This was a part of a Storyland Christmas display, one of many we saw at this location, set up by the Wachtel families in Big Prairie, Ohio.!

Happy Father’s Day

Precious Moments

Getting used to my new mirrorless camera (Sony ZV-E10). I was parked on the road trying to capture a photo of this wild turkey that was crossing the road, and then trying to get over a fence. So it goes.

On this day I enjoyed the many sightings of birds and animals. A sandhill crane out in a farmer’s field, this turkey crossing the road, and on three occasions deer standing beside the road watching me go by. I stayed with this family, who had Baltimore Orioles coming to their feeder, like I have house finches, and goldfinch coming to mine! In the evening we strolled down to a large pond and caught a mess of crappies, and bluegills, which were enjoyed the next morning at breakfast! Their little boy is around 9 months old! This all happened on my two day, 1,000 mile trip into Michigan this week.

Enjoy your day and the rest of the week!

This young lad was enjoying his donut, obviously glad his Dad had brought him along to the Auction.

What’s behind that gate?

This young girl and I were surprised when we both entered this hallway and saw each other. So many memories of visiting her Uncles at a different location. Now she is probably 10 years older, and so am I! 🙂 What a nice surprise!

Also inside gate is this special family: Masum and his family. I met Masum 15 years ago, and we played soccer (football) together for 8 years. A very good friend! I enjoyed playing with the children, and enjoyed a nice meal of curried fish & chicken, dal, and rice!

In “my happy place!”
