VBS is always a fun time at church.

Even cooler was seeing them use the Dunluce Castle that we visited in Ireland.

The resulting panoramic pic

I always meant to digitize this. My nephew was asking about panoramic cameras today and it gave me the motivation I needed to dig it out.

Panoramic cameras…

Isaac was asking if I had ever seen one of these cameras before (shown in the two top left pics).  I told him I had, when they took our 20 year high school reunion shot.  Of course, I had to run downstairs and find the print.  I saved it in the little mailing tube it came in.  You can see the lineup of my classmates in the lower left pics.

Peanut butter and pickle “sandwich”

Yum!!!! Low carb Peanut butter pickle sandwich, using an egg based wrap. Just as yummy, if not better❣️

I snuck up on my nephew and ducked his Jeep

His dad was working in the open garage, and I even managed to sneak past him too.  Chloe was sitting in her car in the driveway and watched the whole. Luckily, she didn’t blow my cover❣️

A cool way to advertise and sell acquarium plants

Church was getting ready for VBS a week or so ago

All that’s left of the raccoon from the pond…

Packed up for now…

This swing set has had quite the life… First it was here (after my dad got it from someone he knew), then our house in Beavercreek after my mom and dad moved out of Waynesville. Then back to Waynesville when we moved back in.  Now, I’ve made it a little more compact for mowing around… Time will tell what the future holds for it.

Both of us rode to school in one of these as kids…

We both dreamed of having one someday… Now’s our chance… This beauty’s for sale over in Springboro.

Enjoying the rodeo with Andy and Sophie

Their young adult group from church was attending so they invited us to join.

Fixing the gap in the floor.

Luckily I kept the install tools and could wedge them under the cabinets to hammer the joint back together.  For whatever reason, one joint in the floor had opened up over time.  It’s nice to have figured out how to fix it and have the time to do just that.

Johnny’s work at my favorite places

It’s fun to run into trucks from where John works at some of my favorite roadside joints.
