Church Lady & the Burd

Sandy had a church event, and since she doesn’t get a chance to “dress up” very often I decided to shoot her. Of course she asked for Minnie Pearl to be included 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Chappell Hayes Observation Tower

Visited Chappell Hayes Observation Tower at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park.

Hatozaki & Hibiki

As mentioned previously I’ve been drinking a bit more lately. I received a couple nice Japanese Whiskeys (Whiskies?) for Christmas.

Don Edwards Sunrise

Woke up early and ran out to Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge for the sunrise. I now have 3 inches of mud caked on my boots.

Beak Brain

Minnie Pearl will sit for hours under Sandy’s chair as she works on her computer. She can be quite moody, so I shot this “moody” portrait.

Goatie goats

I get a kick outta buying calendars at 50% off this time of the year, when only the undesirable ones are left.

Happened to look out this evening and the sun was just peeking out through the clouds. I grab my camera and ran out there. While setting things up I realized I wasn’t wearing a mask so I had to run back to the house. By the time I got back it was to late.

New Years day 2021

With no physical get togethers advised, we decided to do a communal cooking kinda thingie.

For lunch Tom bought 4 lbs of the biggest damn shrimp I’ve ever seen. He politely ask me to do the honors. I decided on a Hawaiian Garlic Scampi recipe.

Meanwhile Paul smoked some salmon & Brenda made some pecan pies.

For dinner we purchased a 3 bone hunk of rib roast. I wrapped it in cheese cloth for a few days to dry it out. Next greased it up and rubbed on some seasoning. After about 3 hrs @ 250° I scorched it @ 500° for 10 mins. I also made a Yorkshire pudding, Paul sauteed mushrooms & onions and Marika did garlic mashed potatoes. We all delivered our dishes and while I can only speak for myself, I feel very fat. This was not a good diet day.
