The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
As many of you know from the times that I leave comments, I burn the candle at both ends and often am up very late at night. Occasionally it catches up to me and I fall asleep somewhere downstairs rather than upstarts in the bedroom. So, it was not unusual for California Girl who was [...]
I purchased a tripod earlier this week to make it easier to take pictures in inside locations. The light was already fading by the time that we started our photo session so we didn’t have much time experiment with it. We can already think of several things to try now that we have a tripod. [...]
With the beginning of school and the kid’s fall sports seasons, California Girl and I are busy until well into the evening getting the kids to and from their practices. So, we don’t have as much time to get out of the house and take pictures as we did during the summer. It looks like [...]
The kids are back in school so it was a very busy weekend for us. There were football games to attend, boys soccer games to watch, and, of course, boys cross country meets and girls soccer games. It wasn’t the best weekend for the kids, athletically so it wasn’t as much fun as it usually [...]
Somehow, when we got into bed on Wednesday, California Girl and I ended up on the opposite side of the bed that we are usually on. Our bed is small (full size) so we sleep close together; but we still have our regular side. We have been moving the camera to different locations recently while [...]
California Girl got a new bikini in the mail on Monday that she ordered online in an end of the season sale. We know that’s the way these thing are done; but its does seem strange buying a swimsuit on closeout when its 90° outside. Anyway, we thought that it was a good opportunity to [...]
Today was opening day for The Girl but the remnants of Tropical Storm Erin rained out her soccer game and just about every other outside activity. I’m sure that it will be rescheduled, but for now, it’s another week of practice for her and her teammates without anyone to compete against but themselves. She’s had [...]
Earlier this week, California Girl and I attended an event that was the last one for The Boy. The finality of it didn’t dawn on me until later. Just as his freshman year in college will be a year of firsts, his senior year in high school will be a year of lasts. His last [...]
We received a lot of comments on the picture we posted last week with the camera positioned at the foot of the bed rather than on the side. Since most of the other pictures didn’t turn out so we decided to place it there again and hope for better results. A number of factors make [...]
California Girl and I are very comfortable with each other so we usually leave the door to the bathroom open when we’re getting ready to make it easier to have a conversation with whichever one of us who is in the bedroom. Individual privacy is something that we’ve never felt the need for. It’s just [...]
