Just a Quick memory of Mom

Almost every evennig Mom and I would go out in the back yard and throw the ball for Bo. Mom always brought a towel to wipe her hands on. Bo tends to get the ball a little slimy. You know I ought to get that towel back out. - We sat on a couple of plastic lawn chairs that I bought from wal-mart. Bo... Sign in to see full entry.

A Spiritual Connection

This is a part of the video I had never seen. I had set the camcorder on an old tripod and hooked it to the TV pointing the camera at the end of the bed. - That way we could all see what we looked like on TV!! At first there was a problem with feedback. Then I got the brilliant idea of turning the... Sign in to see full entry.

I can hear dad say, "I can't see anything." - I hear myself say, "You need more light." There is a click and the overhead fluorescent shoplights come on. That is where dad has the camera...

For The Birds!

I never really intended to start feeding the birds. I used to watch them in the trees, and yell when they did you know what on my car.
