That’s me leaning on the hoe, second from the left. I would have been a freshman in High School, but maybe in 8th grade. The rest were Uncles and Aunts, Siblings, and Cousins. They had come from Ohio to visit us in Iowa. We had been hoeing weeds in the strawberry patch. In the background you see the green tent in our yard, where us boys slept since the guests were using our bedroom.

My Aunt!
I picked up this young lad, his siblings and Mom, to take them home. His young cousin stepped up to the window to talk to me. He asked me what I do at home! It made my day. He was a young fella that I also had as a passenger many times with and without his parents. It made my day that he wanted to chat with the taxi driver. Maybe it helps that I give the children “smarties” when they ride with me!
When I called to schedule a visit at the assisted living facility where my 97-year-old Mother is, they said, “We were just talking about your mother!” At the table during a meal, one of the residents was crying, and my Mother got up out of her chair, went over to the lady and gave her a big hug. Wow, how sweet is that? I had a nice visit with her on the porch. She said, “I would give you a “howdy do” handshake but I think it is against the rules!” LOL
Mother of the Bride, with her Grandson!
I officiated at the wedding, and my wife was the Ceremony Coordinator! I had preached the message at the parent’s of the Bride’s wedding. The Bride was my wife’s namesake.
Not sure if photos of myself are called selfies?
These were taken in Nicaragua.
At a local restaurant!
Background photo taken in Michigan, Center insert photo in San Antonio, and the small insert taken in Malta! Merry Christmas to all my Blog followers, and visitors!! Hope it is a festive joyous occasion for you all. If not I pray, you will be surrounded by friends and/or family who can show you comfort, and compassion, with whatever you are going through!
I used the Sleeklens Starter 5 – Vintage-Dreamy Feeling preset in Lightroom for post-processing.
We were getting some photos taken and this lady passed by and my brother told her, that she would be next. She walked on and her friends decided to have her sit for a photo. I got up, grabbed my camera and captured her posed for her photo, by her friends.
