Skydiving in New York

2009-07-30T18:02:00.000-07:00

What does a hiker do on a day off from hiking? She goes skydiving!

Watch the red and white parachute!

Coming down!

Great landing. Faith said she got to see all the hills she had just hiked over.

Happy Camper!

2009-07-29T13:06:00.000-07:00

Faith has made it to New Hampshire and looks like she is having a great time. She has hiked over 1000 miles this summer!

Clever Church Signs

2009-07-09T18:11:00.000-07:00

Years ago I was in charge of putting clever sayings on our church sign. I could have used these three.

"Heavenly forecast: Reign Forever."

"You don't have to know why, as long as you know Who."

"If you live like there's no God, you'd better be right."

Happy 4th of July!!

2009-07-04T07:55:00.000-07:00

Don't you just love dominos on the 4th of July?

Below are some really good quotes from patriots:

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

"But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government." -- Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address, March 4, 1837

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania (1759)

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." -- James Madison, Federalist no. 51.

"Freedom is never an achieved state; like electricity, we've got to keep generating it or the lights go out." -- Wayne LaPierre

"The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes." -- Thomas Paine

"The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell." -- Karl Popper

"Voting is no substitute for the eternal vigilance that every friend of freedom must demonstrate towards government. If our freedom is to survive, Americans must become far better informed of the dangers from Washington -- regardless of who wins the Presidency." -- James Bovard in Voting is Overrated

"If we become a people who are willing to give up our money and our freedom in exchange for rhetoric and promises, then nothing can save us." -- Thomas Sowell

"The trade-off between freedom and security, so often proposed so seductively, very often leads to the loss of both." -- Christopher Hitchens in the August, 2003 issue of Reason.

"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Appalachian Trail Pictures part 2

2009-05-30T11:25:00.000-07:00

Some of the trail goes through fields instead of woods.

How many hikers do you think hiked this path?

Home sweet shelter on the trail. Faith's pack is under cover.

Cooler in woods is "Trail Magic". Local people leave good things in the woods for all the hikers that come through their towns and area. In the cooler there is probably fresh fruit, orange juice, or water with ice. All things you can't take on the trail because of the weight.

Snail on the trail!

Gulf Coast Flute Choir - Trillium

2009-05-12T05:17:00.000-07:00

Here is a piece called "Trillium" played by the Gulf Coast Flute Choir.

Gulf Coast Flute Choir

2009-05-11T08:01:00.000-07:00

This is the flute choir I play in. I love this song from the Ken Burns "Civil War" series. The real name for the piece is "Ashokan Farewell." There are 30 flute players in this group.

Mother's Day

2009-05-10T13:54:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and to anyone who had a mother. I guess that is about everyone. Here is a picture from our past. We had gone to a bowling party. The kids were 7, 5, and 2. So cute!

Flute Convention

2009-02-04T11:30:00.000-08:00

I went to the Florida Flute Convention and saw this amazing flute. It was so big and the sound was so low!

Pelican

2009-01-25T09:01:00.000-08:00

This guy and a friend of his were hanging around a fisherman waiting for their patience to be rewarded with a fish treat. He didn't seem to mind that I took about 30 pictures of him while he kept his eye on the fisherman.

Another one room school

2009-01-18T11:38:00.000-08:00

I found this cute picture of when my kids were all small and we homeschooled in one room. James is 3, Aaron is 8, and Faith is 6. I wonder how different our one room school was from the one their grandfather attended 60 years earlier.

One Room School

2008-12-28T09:55:00.000-08:00

My father always told me that he attended a one room school as a boy. He lived in a rural part of Connecticut and here is his entire elementary or grammar school. There were only 9 children and one teacher. My dad is the one in the front right corner. His two older sisters and brother attended too. Four of the other children are also siblings from another family. One boy attended alone without other family members. The date on this picture is about 1936. I noticed the 3 boys in the front were wearing neck ties. I don't know if they always wore ties or if that was just because it was picture day.

My favorite part of Christmas is all the beautiful music celebrating the birth of Christ. Here is one of my all time favorites!

Ringling Statue

A sculpture from the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota. Made of marble. I forgot to read who it is on the sign.

Thanksgiving Salad

2008-11-29T07:30:00.000-08:00

My sister in law makes this really good salad every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is pretty sweet and is more like a dessert. At Christmas it comes in green. Yum!

Lost in Space

Cool video! Don't you hate to lose something?

My Neighbor

2008-11-20T07:03:00.001-08:00

Here is a picture of someone who lives in my neighborhood. I see him or her quite often flying around. Today this Red Shouldered Hawk was perched on my roof and I got these pictures. Click on the picture to see a close up.

World War 2 Memorial and Lincoln Memorial

2008-11-16T11:33:00.000-08:00

Here is a view taken from the top of the Washington Monument. In the foreground you can see the newer World War 2 Memorial and in the background you can see the Lincoln Memorial.

Jefferson Memorial

2008-11-13T18:18:00.000-08:00

In October we visited Wash. DC. Here is the Jefferson Memorial. The airport is close so you see planes taking off all day long as you tour the monuments. It makes an interesting picture.

Robot Flute Player

2008-11-06T10:18:00.000-08:00

I have played the flute for years and now I find out someone built a robot who plays this piece way better than me!

A Little Humor

2008-10-14T11:44:00.000-07:00

This election has been so long and difficult for most people that sometimes if you don't laugh you just might cry. Let's take a minute to laugh right now. Don't you just love the little dog?

Pancakes!

Arizona

2008-07-21T07:17:00.000-07:00

We are having a great time in Sedona Arizona and at the Grand Canyon. I will share all about it when I get home soon. Computers here are acting up and I can't upload pictures. I have some really amazing ones to share. Can't wait to tell you all about it.

Faith is home!

2008-07-10T13:40:00.000-07:00

Faith got home from her 7 week hike on the Appalachian Trail yesterday. She had a great time, stayed safe, met a lot of great people who were all so kind and helpful to her. She took so many beautiful scenic pictures.

I will be sharing a few more pictures from her trip on the blog so keep checking back.

Since it is summer and people in my family are traveling I will be sharing pictures other than Florida.

Great Smoky Mountains

2008-07-08T19:31:00.000-07:00

Faith hiked all the way through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is the tower at the top of Clingman's Dome. The state line of North Carolina and Tennessee goes down the middle of the park.

This summer Faith is hiking on the Appalachian Trail. She started at Springer Mountain in north Georgia and has hiked over 500 miles so far to Virginia. Here are a few photos she took and sent home.

The shelter here is just one of the many different types of shelters found along the trail for hikers to spend the night in.

Edelweiss

2008-04-22T16:45:00.000-07:00

This is the flute choir playing Edelweiss at a luncheon. If you look and listen closely you can see and hear me playing the bass flute. It gives the choir the lower notes and sound.

We need a home!

2008-02-21T12:41:00.000-08:00

I need a home! I am about 3 months old and love to play. I am a little boy and I have two brothers. I am currently living at a church playground where they take good care of me, but I need a real home with a fun family. My momma also needs a home. We think she is going to have more kittens. She is very friendly and loves to play with strings and other cat toys. Can we come home with you?

Photo Friday: Vacation

2007-07-21T10:59:00.000-07:00

No, this is not Hermoine. This is my daughter on vacation in London. Of course when I found out she was going to be at Kings Cross Station I asked her to have her picture taken at the "Harry Potter" platform.

The last Harry Potter book came out today so this is a good day to post this picture.

Corinth

2007-06-28T05:17:00.000-07:00

This is a picture taken by my oldest son who is on a month long trip to Europe. He took a day trip to the ruins of Corinth and took this picture of the Temple of Apollo. He always wanted to see Greece.

This is the same Corinth from the Bible.

http://www.sacred-destinations.com/greece/corinth.htm

The Apostle Paul visited Corinth in the 50s AD and later wrote two letters to the Christian community at Corinth (the books of 1 and 2 Corinthians in the New Testament). When Paul first visited the city (51 or 52 AD), Gallio, the brother of Seneca, was proconsul of Corinth.

Paul lived in Corinth for 18 months (Acts 18:1-18), working as a tentmaker and converting as many Jews and pagans as he could. Here he first became acquainted with Aquila and Priscilla, who became his fellow-workers.

Although Paul intended to pass through Corinth a second time before he visited Macedonia, circumstances were such that he first went from Troas to Macedonia before stopping at Corinth for a "second benefit" (2 Corinthians 1:15). This time he stayed in Corinth for three months (Acts 20:3).

It was probably during this second visit in the spring of 58 that Paul wrote the Epistle to the Romans. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Ephesus, reflects the difficulties of maintaining a Christian community in such a cosmopolitan city.

Scotland tour

2007-06-24T04:14:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a loooooong time since I added pictures to this blog. I guess I was running out of Florida ideas. I also have been busy working on another blog that I use for homeschooling ideas.

Well, I have many more pictures to share now. My daughter just returned from a 10 day trip to London and Scotland. Last year I took a few weeks to share our trip to New York and Philadelphia so I thought it would be okay to share some of the beautiful pictures she took on her trip even though they are not exactly Florida pictures. She had a great time and took some really nice pictures.

This picture is from "new" extension of the abbey in Dunfermline, Scotland. It is "new" as in the 1800's. With so much history is Great Britain anything from the 1800's is still refered to as "new". LOL

If you look closely at the top of this abbey you will see the words "Bruce King". If you walk to the other side you can read "King Robert the Bruce". He is a very famous king in Scotland who helped to fight for Scotland's independence from England in the 1300's.

Photo Friday: Relaxation

2007-04-29T06:18:00.000-07:00

This may not look like a comfortable position to sleep, but my cat, Shadow, can really relax in any position. It is his full time job!

The Country

2007-04-21T06:05:00.000-07:00

I love being out in the country away from all the signs of civilization. Even in Florida you can find places that are natural like this big lake in central Florida. The Great White Egret wasn't sure he wanted his picture taken.

He Is Risen!

2007-04-08T12:34:00.000-07:00

I hope you are enjoying a blessed Easter Sunday. Here are some pretty flowers that I saw recently. I didn't see any Easter lillies so these are my Easter snapdragons. LOL

I Drew Minnie

2007-04-03T19:29:00.000-07:00

I learned how to draw Minnie Mouse at Disney Quest. We got to learn to draw on a computer screen. They showed us step by step how to do it. What do you think about my Minnie?

Charlie

2007-04-02T19:19:00.000-07:00

Charlie lives in the lobby of the place where we stayed in Orlando. We thought he was cute.

Photo Friday: Growth

2007-04-01T20:08:00.000-07:00

This is a 12 foot gator that lives at Boggy Creek Ranch. He is one of the gators we saw while riding the monster school bus. He loves chicken and marshmallows. Feeding gators in the wild is illegal in Florida, but this guy is in captivity so it is okay. He still has many years to grow larger!

Monster School Bus

2007-03-29T05:32:00.000-07:00

Here is the school bus we rode on around the 8000 acre ranch. They drove us all around the ranch with lots of oak trees. They also drove us INTO a pond filled with captive alligators. One was 12 feet long. Since they are in captivity and not in the wild we got to feed them which is illegal in the wild. The gators ate chicken and marshmallows. Next time I will show a few gators.

Orlando?

2007-03-28T19:02:00.000-07:00

We are in Orlando for 4 days on spring break. We have been to most of the places people like to visit in Orlando, so this time we did something a little different. We took an airboat ride about 20 miles south of Orlando way out in the country on a huge lake that is part of the headwaters for the Everglades. It was so beautiful and peaceful out there. Of couse the airboat itself was rather loud, but it was a lot of fun speeding across the lake and plants in the lake. Next time I will show you the school bus we rode on too!

Photo Friday: Sentimental

2007-03-26T05:46:00.000-07:00

I love this picture of my grandmother from the early 1900's. She died young so I never met her, but I think this picture is so cute.

Another horse race

2007-03-17T11:05:00.000-07:00

Here is what they call a flat race at the Steeplechase. It is flat because there are no jumps. The horses get real close to the railing and close to the spectators trying to get some great shots if they are lucky!

Here they come around the bend.

They are getting closer!

Wow! Look at that horse go!

Gone!

Photo Friday: Heat

2007-03-16T05:58:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of how they used to boil the juice from sugar cane to make cane syrup. For many years I have seen the large pots used for this, but had never seen anyone actually using one. I guess there are not many people left who know how. It was a great to finally see how the pioneers in Florida used to make syrup.

Pegasus?

2007-03-15T05:04:00.000-07:00

No, the horse isn't really flying! It just looks like it in this picture. We went to the Little Everglades Steeplechase in Dade City and saw the horses race and jump over the jumps. Dade City is north of Tampa, not anywhere near the Everglades, that is just the name of the horse ranch. It was a beautiful, sunny day. I will share a few more pictures this week. I promise!

Photo Friday: Addiction

2007-03-09T16:04:00.000-08:00

No, I am not addicted to squirrels! LOL I love nature and love hiking in beautiful places with nature and wildlife. I guess you can call it a mild addiction.

Photo Friday: Alone

2007-03-08T17:02:00.000-08:00

I love to see wading birds at the beach. This sand piper was alone for a short while at a beach north of Daytona Beach on the east coast. This beach has very orange looking sand that contains a lot of broken shells that are finely broken up.

It has been a long time since my last "daily" post. Things have been so busy lately, but hopefully will be slowing down a little now. I miss taking and sharing my photos.

Photo Friday: Textured

Don't you love the soft texture of baby bunnies? I do!

4 Horns are better than 2

2007-02-27T19:40:00.000-08:00

Here is a strange goat. It has 4 horns! This kind is known for having more than 2.

Another cute dog

2007-02-17T18:54:00.000-08:00

This was a cute Papillon at the fair. I tried to get a picture with her ears out, but she kept moving. Her fur was very soft. Too cute!

Sled dog in Florida?

2007-02-15T19:48:00.000-08:00

Here is another nice dog from the dog show at the fair. He looks like he belongs in Alaska.

Ain't I cute?

2007-02-14T20:25:00.000-08:00

I went to the state fair today and saw the tent with all the pedigree dogs. Here is my favorite dog breed, the Samoyed. He was so big, white and fluffy. His owner was actually sitting behind the table with a spinning wheel making yarn out of his dog hair. She was also knitting it into scarves. Wouldn't you love a dog hair scarf or sweater? The scarf was almost as soft as angora which is made from rabbit fur.

Photo Friday: Sky

2007-02-09T09:17:00.000-08:00

Here is a cloudless blue sky, just perfect for an airshow. A lot of people were posting pictures of clouds for their picture of the sky. I thought trick planes would be nice! Click on the picture for a larger view of the planes and the sky.

Finished pottery

2007-02-08T13:35:00.000-08:00

Here is the finished product I made on Art Day. I thought it was nice for my first try. Remember that I did have a lot of help from the instructor. By myself it probably would have looked like a lump of clay. Now you know how it all turned out.

Photo Friday: Strange

2007-02-02T06:34:00.000-08:00

This camel was at the county fair. I thought this was a strange view of him.

Happy Ground Hogs Day!

Cute goats

2007-02-01T14:37:00.000-08:00

These were two goats that we are our county fair. The baby one is less than a week old and also has a twin who was camera shy.

Sunset

Here is a pretty sunset over Sarasota Bay.

Potter

2007-01-30T18:48:00.000-08:00

Here is me learning to make a pot on a wheel. I had always wanted to try this and got to try it at Art Day in Sarasota. I made the pot which was more like a bowl and will pick it up after it has been glazed and fired. I can't wait to see it again.

Giraffe

2007-01-29T18:50:00.000-08:00

This guy was at the county fair too. Take a look at that tongue. Carrots are the best.

Old Van, Newer Van

2007-01-28T12:44:00.000-08:00

Our old van was stolen on Christmas Eve for the second time. We decided it was time to upgrade to a van with better locks and an alarm too. We like it a lot.

Scarecrow

2007-01-27T07:28:00.000-08:00

Watch out for this scarecrow! He was at our county fair and was so funny to watch. He would stand motionless and as people would walk by thinking he was just a decoration he would bend over and yell something. People would jump and scream, especially the teenagers. Then he would stand still again until someone else walked by and do it again. We stood and watched him for a few minutes. It was so funny to see people react. He was about 8 feet tall.

Photo Friday: Brother

2007-01-26T10:24:00.000-08:00

Here are my two of my kids who are brothers. The oldest one is now an Eagle Scout and the little guy is going to be an Eagle soon too.

Star Quilt

2007-01-25T15:59:00.000-08:00

Here is one more quilt. I thought this one looked so perfect and precisely made.

More Quilts

2007-01-24T14:07:00.000-08:00

We thought this was a creative quilt pattern. It is more swirly looking than most of the ones I have seen. Pretty too.

We went to the county fair last night and enjoyed looking at the quilts among other things. I always like to take pictures of the beautiful creations. I am a wanna-be quilter, but will probably never make one like the ones at the fair.

Boats in the Bay

2007-01-22T07:10:00.000-08:00

These are boats in Sarasota Bay. We noticed that some of these boats are homes even though some of them are small. That must be interesting living on a small sailboat. At least the view from your front door is very pretty.

This is a picture from the Everglades Steeplechase in Dade City, Fl. The horses run fast and they jump too. We were lucky to get this action shot. We had never been to a horse race before and it was a lot of fun on a beautiful day.

Here is a beautiful rose that I got for my birthday over 10 days ago. It is still very pretty. Very peaceful too.

Jacobites

We saw the Scotish Pipe and Drum Band, the Jacobites, play this weekend. They will be performing a benefit concert this month for our Girl Scout troop that is going to Scotland in June.

Photo Friday: Sister

These two pet rats were sisters. They lived a short life of two years as best friends and cage mates. They completely changed my view of rats. Before my daughter wanted pet rats I never would have thought to get a rat for a pet. After much discussion we bought Marge and Marilyn at the pet store. They were very sweet and friendly pets. Unfortunately like their ancestors who were lab rats they died from cancer. These sisters will be missed. You may think they had unusual names for rats, but they were named after a pair of sisters in our family.

Christmas is over

2007-01-06T18:33:00.000-08:00

We bought a real Christmas tree for the first time this year. Here is our beautiful tree waiting to be taken away by the trash man. It was a very good kind of tree that never lost many needles. In fact, I think the artificial tree that we have used for many years always lost more needles than our real tree did. We enjoyed having a real tree and may do it again next year. They smell so good.

Today is also Three Kings Day that is celebrated in many countries around the world, but not that much in the USA.

Happy Three Kings Day!

Fruitcake

I don't know why people don't like fruitcake. I love it. Here is some fruitcake among all the yummy Christmas pies we had this year. Calories, calories, calories!

Photo Friday: Best of 2006

I really love Florida and of course that means I love the beauty of the beach. We have so many nice beaches in our state. It is hard to pick the best picture from a whole year so I will stick with this beach picture and of course a sandpiper which makes the beach even better.

Happy New Year!

This is the road to a small town in Florida. I love to get out and travel in the countryside where you can't see buildings and signs. It also represents the road to a new year which I hope holds a lot of beautiful blessings for you and your family. Welcome to 2007!

Missing you, Aaron!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is a life size solid ice sculpture in Orlando. It was a beautiful sight and a real reminder of what Christmas is all about.
