280/365 Beautiful Old Bible

I love the wear on this lovely old bible. It was given to me from a friend. It was her grandmother and none of her sons wanted it. I will take care of this wonderful book of the King of Kings.

279/365 Backwards Goofy

I have never seen this watch before...too cool. I'm told that they made Mickey's that ran backwards. I've seen it to so many people who hadn't seen one either.

278/365 Parker, Eight Weeks Old

He is becoming so bright and will stay awake a little longer every week. He is so funny. He loves to talk and talk. Grandpa and he will set and talk for hours...not really, but for a while. I love this face.

277/365 Fall Continues ...

I think fall is my favorite time of year. I love to take pictures of the trees turning. I love the beautiful color. Sadly, we loose them too soon for me.

276/365 Maybe A Few Too Many...

We were eating at a taco stand on Michigan Ave. this afternoon and we seen this lady and her dogs. Besides being funny looking with three dogs, they looked odd because of the different sizes.

275/365 Layla

She is as pretty as her name. She's four years old. Every Sunday, she grabs Thom's little finger and leads him to Sunday school.

274/365 Fall on Lake Geneva

This is such a beautiful lake. It is man made. This is one of the last days we will be here. Our friend Betty is now in Florida and the house is almost packed up and cleaned out. When she comes back she will be moved in somewhere else. This time will soon end. We are kind of sad.

273/365 Sunflower in Black and White

I was playing around with my Photoshop Elements and I liked the way this sunflower turned out. I know, it doesn't take much.

272/365 Burned out Lansing...

It really upsets me to see this. I grow up in Lansing and I don't like to think of my town run down. This house is not being lived in and the city will leave it rather tear it down.

271/365 Parker...Asleep

With Patty now back to work, we get to babysit Parker on Wednesdays. He is a very popular guy. Patty has so many other people who want to watch him, he's with a different person every day. I guess Thom and I ware him out because this is what he did most of the day.

270/365 The Court House

This is the court house of Clinton county in St. Johns. They just built a new one about 10 years ago. I like it.

269/365 Uncle Andy

This is all new for my son but he's doing good and getting use to Parker. He hasn't tried to take care of him by himself...that will come. I am proud of him for trying.

268/365 Coming Forward...

One of the rewards with working with kids, is to have one finally get it and make a decision for Christ. Neva is one of our kids from Vacation Bible School this summer. We are very proud.

267/365 Turkeyville Michigan

About 10 miles north of Marshall Michigan, is a little tourist attraction called Turkeyville. As you can guess, all that's on the menu is turkey. It has a dinner club and live shows. On this day, they were having a flea market. Across the street was this canon in some body's yard. I thought it was kind a cool.

266/365 The Lone Ranger

Thom and I were out and about today and came across a garage sale that was mostly toys. As I was walking around looking, I seen this lunch box. Growing up in the 1960's, I watched a lot of Lone Ranger reruns. It brought back great memoirs.

265/365 The Heron

I had to use the zoom on my camera to get this picture of this heron. I liked the background and him. It's a little blurring, but you can tell it's a bird anyway. We have a lot of swamps and marsh land around us, so this guy is right at home.

264/365 A Cow of a Different...Color?

On one of our nightly rides looking for deer, we spotted this herd of cows. Neither one of us had ever seen any marked like this. We don't know what kind they are, but they are odd, and very photogenic. Thom's nickname is Mr Moo so he mooed at this cow and it started walking towards the fence. It was possibly thinking, "funny looking cow."

263/365 The Neighbor's Horse

One of our neighbors has a horse farm. I love to drive by and watch them feed. I think they are such beautiful animals. They seem so carefree.

262/365 A Number One Dad

Thom and I were at the Speedway gas station tonight and seen this dad and his little girl. What other dad would let his little girl go into a gas station wearing her mother's high heels? We thought this was the coolest thing.

261/365 New Jacket for Parker

It's been a little chilly this week and nobody thought to buy a coat for the little guy. Well he has one now.
