The life and times of a happily married couple in Ohio.
Today is the first post of our new series, Empty Nest Thursday. We’re not empty nesters all the time since the kids are home at breaks and over the summer but we think the term is descriptive of the current phase of our lives. We mostly have the house to ourselves and can do whatever [...]
Today was a long day at the office, not because I had to work late; but because I had to work at all. After being on vacation for so long, the office seemed like a foreign country where I did not speak the language. The only thing that kept me going was knowing that it’s [...]
As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. [...]
As he always does the third week of December, Osbasso requested that this week’s HNT feature a Christmas tree. We know that we’ve done silhouettes before; but we like that style for a Christmas tree HNT post. Plus we wanted to see how our new camera does in low light. We’ve also include a photo [...]
Our pupils were still dilated for our eye exams earlier in the day during so California Girl and I were still wearing the silly looking disposable glasses they give you during our photo shoot on Tuesday. We couldn’t do much else while our eyes were still recovering; but we were still fully functional in the [...]
Another week, another late Two for Tuesday Post. After four days off, it has been really hard to get back into the swing of things. We do not have as many school activities to do as we did when the kids were in high school; but, somehow, we’ve still ended up with a lot of [...]
Halfway through the NFL season and the Bengals have a better record than the hated Steelers who are coming to town on Sunday. We showed our team spirit last month; but, at the time, California Girl did not have a new jersey. We always enjoyed our matching shirts, so, when I was doing errands near [...]
We were unsure whether to have or photo session on Tuesday or Wednesday since California Girl was just about to start her period. She ultimately stared on Tuesday which was the same day that we decide to have our photo session; but, by then, we were “committed”. So, we decided to keep it simple. All [...]
There is definitely a changing of the guard on the Bengals. They traded away “85″ in the offseason. And, earlier today, they completed a blockbuster trade of their former franchise QB for two high draft picks. So today was a perfect opportunity to feature the new Bengals jersey that I received for my birthday. California [...]
I didn’t realize it at the time of our last post; but the latest versions of Corel VideoStudio Pro include some filters from NewBlueFX including their pixelator. I received a trial copy plus a 10% discount on the registered version with my purchase of Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3. Amazingly, VideoStudio Pro X4 costs less [...]
