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 [...]
Out weekly photo sessions are mostly all fun and games; but, occasionally, there is some “work” to be done. Like change the batteries in the remote control. Or check California Girl the ingredients on the lubricant we we’re using. It was “not tested on animals” so presumably it was tested on people; which is probably [...]
In addition to the goodies from Pure Romance, we also got a new ultra compact digital camera. It doesn’t have as many features as our “main” camera; but it is a lot more portable. You can’t take any pictures if the camera was too inconvenient to carry; so, we always like to have a small, [...]
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 [...]
California Girl and I had our eyes checked on Tuesday. As always, we both need new glasses. We both took the afternoon off since it’s impossible to get any work done after having our eyes refracted. The doctor’s office provides disposable sun glasses which help a little; but it’s best to turn off all 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 [...]
When we were having our photo session on Wednesday, we ended up with an accidental candid that had both of us in the picture. Since that happens so rarely we decided to post it. It’s probably not as “good” as some of our other candids; but it’s one of the few that has both of [...]
California Girl and I were reminiscing about the early days of HNT, so we decided to get out our old camera out of the closet and re-enact one of our first HNT photographs. Compared to the modern ones we use today, our old camera seems very primitive. Then one feature that we miss was the [...]
Since I am usually the person who sets up the camera, we post more candid photographs of California Girl than we do of me. It’s not a deliberate omission; our preference is for an approximately equal number of pictures of both of us. I just spend more time outside the view of the camera, and [...]
