About

Pictures, mostly mine, but some from my photography mentor, Dad; stories for my daughters; Mom and Dad’s words of wisdom; some rememberin’ and cookin’ with Mother. Mom wrote a cooking article for the local newspaper years ago, suitably called Humble Pie. And so, for you, a slice of mine, be it ever so humbled.

I really enjoyed reading the story about your mom joining the choir. And I have to agree, God was probably laughing right along with you. Man, there’s nothin’ better than a great laugh. I look forward to enjoying more of your photography and stories as a new follower of your blog.

Well, y’all stopped by and ‘liked’ my rusty vehicles. I couldn’t miss your southern hospitality and my daddy was from Alabama, so of course I was hooked into staying and visiting. You will be pleased to know that reading about the fart, oops capital FART, had me laughing along with God and my kin.

If you haven’t already received the Reality Blog Award (I didn’t see it on your wall) now you have. Hang it proudly. Here is the shortlink http://wp.me/p2828d-iQ
If you have already received it (and have it hidden) you are just too darn special. At least a few of us think so.

Honeylamb, you’re on a roll with buttah. I’ve nominated you for “The Versatile Blogger Award.” It’s basically just a way for one blogger (me) to share some love with other bloggers whose work they admire (that’d be you). There are a few logistics involved, but nothing terribly fussy, so here’s the link: http://wp.me/p1XDRR-au. If you choose not to participate I totally understand, either way I love your blog.

Homer, I am very glad that you sent me the link to your blog. I have needed to set up at least one for myself for nearly forever. Perhaps I will use this as the kick in the pants to get it done. Re: the post that I responded to on FaceBook. I too LOVE the old film negatives and positives that I have jealously gurded for many years. I have a large archive of my time in service as well as a large group of photos, mainly chromes from the start up and first four years of Spirit. I really need to get those things scanned and categorized.

  I have been scanning family photos and have tons of slides to scan. I took some of mine and my Dad’s slides to my local Sam’s Club. They have a fuji scanner that scans at a high resolution. They did them for 18 cents apiece! They don’t do anything but scan, so if they need dusting or cleaning up you might do that yourself. Of course you can always do some post processing on them to clean them up. Do it man…get those things out there for everyone else to see!
