Happy New Year’s Eve

I decided for my last post of the year to use AI to create this photo! I asked AI to create a photo with the following description: Create me an image of a 7 year old girl with red hair, braids, and a smile. I didn’t have a photo of a young 7-yr old girl that I recently chatted with. Doing a taxi job I went to a Christmas gathering to pick up a family that had hired me. While waiting this little girl came out to talk to me. I was pleased to see her, and rolled down my window so we could chat. She said she came out to see me, because she hadn’t seen me for a long time! That blessed me! I pray that you will all have moments of pleasure like this in the coming year! AI did a nice job, though my friend’s hair was not quite as red, and her was neatly combed. However you celebrate New Year’s Eve, may the last day of 2024 be special for you. Maybe you can even bless someone with your presence!

Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year!

Uncle Merlin

A pleasure to visit with Alice’s Uncle Merlin!

Bride and Groom, and Bride’s son. She was a widow.

A day with mixed emotions, since my good friend was marrying a widow. Notice non-posed photos, very typical of the Amish.

This was the only “posed” photo. the young ladies standing in the back are good friends of mine!
