Shoveling Snow and Dreams of Spring

Saturday, 22 March 2008 11:59 P GMT-05
I shoveled snow for a couple hours today and dreamed of sitting on the porch on a nice warm day playing the banjo.  Spring will come.  In the meantime I found a picture my daughter took last year that pretty much sums up my daydream.

I've been driving past this house for over twenty five years.  It always reminds me of a fairy tale.  This is by far my favorite house in Sheffield Lake.   

Sheffield Lake Pictures part one

Haven't had a chance to write as I've been working a lot of hours.  I have been taking a lot of pictures lately so I plan to post a few here and there.  Here is one of Lake Erie.  The ice was beautiful and it was warmer than it

Last night my father-in-law and I went to the Homerville Community Center for some old-time jamming.  

The Triplets

Monday, 26 February 2007 11:59 P GMT-05
I remember clearly when the triplets were born.  Instantly we went from a family of six to nine.  I recall my mother asking all of the kids for names because she never expected more than one child even though she was bigger than the Hindenb

A Few Minutes to Play

Monday, 26 February 2007 7:33 A GMT-05
I finally had a half-hour of down time yesterday and decided to do some work on one of my long time projects.  I wrote a while back about getting hold of my grandfather's old home movies and converting them to dvd.  The past six months

My friend Gremhog has been writing recently about Sheffield Lake and putting up some very nice photos. On her latest entry she has some nice pictures of a field on the corner of Lake Breeze and Colorado in Sheffield Village. I love the wa

Moving Memories

Moving to a new house forced me to go through boxes and boxes of junk. Due to my hobby of genealogy I have become the family historian. The family have been giving me photographs and movies that I never found the time to sort out.Going th

Leastbest Spielberg

Years ago I had a bunch of my grandfather's home movies put on videotape by Sears (of all places).  They did a crummy job and blamed it on the age of the film.  It ended up being a chaotic five hours of video (no sound) that was hard to wat

In Search of Roy Book Binder: Part 1

Monday, 10 October 2005 6:31 A GMT-05
When I was in high school radio different than today. Disk Jockeys would play a whole range of music. You could hear James Taylor, then Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan (acoustic) and then Black Sabbath. The mix was fantastic and was fun to listen to.

Weddings and Chocolate Fountains

Saturday, 20 August 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
Our good friends daughter got married last Saturday and it was a blast. The wedding was beautiful and everything was the way it should be. They had a wonderful photographer but I took a couple myself just to catch anything missed.

Photography and the unknown

Wednesday, 29 December 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
One of my passions is photography. In my youth I had a darkroom and spent many an hour mixing chemicals and playing with light and shadow. Much of that has transfered over to the digital age and photoshop but I miss the smell and feel of the darkro
