Waking the dogs and collecting berries along the way

I came home empty though… Not for lack of berries, but rather lack of restraint! 🤪

Jet’s troupe performing on the stage at The Schuster❣️

Julie and I enjoyed the high school drama awards.

Stef and Josh invited us to go along with them to the Schuster to see the Miami Valley High School Theater Awards.  We found a bunch of high school vagabonds milling about downtown (upper right) haha.  While we were waiting to go in ,I snapped the cool alley pick of the Water Street water tower down near the Delco Lofts where Dad first worked (upper left).  I also thought this building (lower right) looked like a big monster took a bite out of the top of it.

It was fun to see how the emcee dressed, in a full ball gown, and added a great sense of humor and fun to the evening. It was cool to see Jet perform one of their pieces on the stage.  Last year, Cody got to sing a solo there!

Ran into John’s work again at B&Bs❣️

The dog, her toy, and the sun…

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.
